Default DBF Uncle
Hi Everyone - I got an email last night checking on me so I thought I better come and update everyone....

Uncle Alan made it through surgery on Tuesday fine and yesterday was sitting up & talking but the doctors are afraid his body is going to reject the pump. The pump is working but with help. DBF Mom said there were tubes & wires coming out of everywhere!

No change for me. Hands shaking, legs spasms, back tingle/prickles, legs stiffness, fatigue - wow, I sound like "wow is me!"

Thanks for thinking of me!

Char, take care of yourself - I'm glad he made it through the surgery and hope he doesn't reject the pump.....I'm keeping all of you in my prayers. I know how mentally draining all the worrying can be. I hope brighter days are ahead.

Thanks for the update, lambchop, I was seriously worried when we didn't hear from you!

I'm so sorry you're feeling everything in the neuro bucket.

I'm still praying for you kiddo, and Uncle too.
