Jess

[utkd29]

Jessica was admited to ICU at our local hospital this morning for complications with breathing. I dont have much info at the moment because we have been unable to see her. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I am at the hospital waiting to get the details, we should be able to go back in about 30 or so minutes.

Ok Jess is in a normal room now. She wasnt passing out so I dont know where that came from.
Yesterday she went to the dr to get a breathing treatment. It worked for a few hours. Then she had another attack so she went to the ER. 20 minutes after she went home she had another attack that was pretty severe. So back to the ER again. This time they measured her breath and oxygen. It is lower than normal, so they put her in ICU and did breathing treatments every hour or so. She got shots of steriods and seems to be breathing better for the moment. She has to stay tonight and hopefully will be released tomorrow.
She thanks you all for the prayers. I am home to get her clothes, blankets, and the DVD player. They really havent been able to give her anything to relax, so hopefully this will help.

[mkrebecca]

thanks for the update DeAnna!! I hope she is back to normal soon!!!

[Cpogie]

Thanks for the update DeAnna, tell her we are all praying that she gets better asap!! and can get out of the hospital soon.

[momsangel]

My prayers are with her, tell her we are praying for her and hope she starts feeling better soon, and hopefully they can give her somthing to relax......

[VanillaBean]

Prayers for Jess- I can relate so well to what she is going through- I, too, have Asthma and have been hospitalized numerous times to count for having attacks!! The steroids will definetly help her lungs and the constriction of her airways....whenever it is winter I have to be super careful that a cold or sinus infect., etc doesn't turn into something bad with my lungs and end up in the hospital as well!!


My heartfelt sympathy goes out to ya hun.......HUGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[utkd29]

Thank you to everyone for the thoughts! They do mean alot. I just left the hospital, from being there all day. As of right now she appears to be doing great. There is still alot of junk in her lungs that won't seem to break up and go away. She is off her IV and on oxygen as needed. Hopefully she will return home tomorrow. It's hard to rest when you are in the hospital :( .

I told her all of you are thinking about her! ;)

[giraf98]

I'm just now reading this since I don't get on that much anymore! Jess...you are definitely in my thoughts and prayers!

[Cindy]

Please let her know that she is in my prayers!

[mom2fussbudgets]

Hope Jess feels better real soon!

[bvanpeltsw]

Get well soon Jess! We miss you!:)

[Cpogie]

Any update DeAnna? Did Jess get out of the hospital today?

[utkd29]

She is doing much better. They want to keep her overnight again tonight because she is still weezing. She is off her IV and oxygen. She is still doing breathing treatments every 4 hours, so she cant seem to get much rest. :( I think they are keeping her just in case she has another attack. It would stink to get home and have to go right back.
I am going to see her when I get off work. If anything changes I will let everyone know.

[Cpogie]

Thats a good thing that they are keeping her. Better safe then sorry.
Tell her we are thinking about her and hope she feels better asap.

[SSIAnkie]

Saying a prayer for you Jess! Hope you are feeling better soon!

[mkrebecca]

I have been thinking about her today and wondering how she is doing....hope she gets to go home soon!! still keeping you in my prayers Jess!

[momsangel]

Get well soon Jess!

[MandMnmbr3]

{{{{{{Jess}}}}}} Get well soon hon!!!!

DeAnna~ Thank you hon for keeping us updated. I think it is a good idea the hospital is keeping her for one more night. After her breathing treatment does the RT "pound" on her back to help loosen up her lungs?

Our youngest daughter has asthma and I've been in this situation many times with her. The RT did that for her ( pounding) and it really helped out A LOT!

Take care Jess and feel better soon!

Hugs,
Mae

[ibeapoet]

Still keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Feel better soon.

[utkd29]

[momsangel]

Glad she's coming home!!:)

[AzuAngel]

thats great that is finally going home!!! :D

[mkrebecca]

glad to hear she is coming home today!!

[Jess0587]

Hey everyone! I'm finally home!! Boy, what a relief to be home sweet home! You all will never know how much I appreciate your thoughts and prayers and well wishes! I greatly appreciate each and every one!
I was really bummed this all happened right when I was supposed to be going on my first trip ever to Gatlingburg, which was also going to be free, and also a much needed get away trip. But all things happen for a reason. And I'm sure I will get another chance to go soon.
Having asthma is absolutely no fun. I'm taking this experience and going to start and have already started making some changes to hopefully prevent from this ever happening like this again. I have never stayed in the hospital before over night, except when I was born ofcourse. And 2 months ago when I had my first episode of the asthma attack, was my first time ever having to go to the ER, so I was a bit scared there for a while. This all just really snuck up on me extremley fast. But I had an awesome team of nurses and doctors working with me and I am very thankful for them and their wisdom in what they do. They saved my life, if you will. Along with my dbf and mom who worked together getting me to the ER safely.
I'm feeling a lot better already. I can definitely breath much better. I had a touch of bronchitis as well. So I'm on lots of meds :rolleyes:
Well, I guess I will just stop here. I know yall don't want to know my whole life storey, and I'm not one to go talking about myself, looking for attention or pitty or nothing like that. I just wanted to let you all know how much I appreciated everything. And to let everyone know I'm home and on the road to recovery.

[Jess0587]

Also, thank you DeAnna for starting this thread and getting those extra prayers out for me. You mean so much to me and I appreciate you spending all the time with me you did and helping me feel cozy and at home while staying at the hospital. I love you, hugs!

[AzuAngel]

I am glad you are home Jess and hopefully like you said you wont have another attack... It $ucks to be in the hospital... theres no place like home to rest and get better :)

[Cpogie]

I'm so glad your out of the hospital!! I hope your feeling much better. It was so nice of DeAnna to pick up some of your things to make you feel cozy while in the hospital, and to sit and spend time with you.

[bvanpeltsw]

Glad to hear you are home Jess! We were all worried about you!

[Cindy]

So glad to hear that you are home and see you posting! Rest, relax, and get better!!

[mom2fussbudgets]

Glad you're back home and better! Take care of yourself!

[Jess0587]

Thank you all very much!! {{{Hugs to all of you}}}

[momsangel]

So glad you are home and on the road to recovery!! Hugs to you,Dear!:)

[VanillaBean]

Glad to hear you are home now...and can get the rest ya need!! Hope you get back to feeling normal again soon!!

[Jess0587]

Thank yall very much. I'm having a hard time getting my sleep at night still. I keep waking up every hour, I guess looking for the nurses to come bring me more medicine and breathing treatments, lol. Part of the reason my asthma got so bad is b/c I came down with bronchitis, which is in the bronchial tubes...which is where asthma starts up too, where the bronchial tubes constrict and cause me to wheeze and have my asthmatic symptoms. So, the 2 of those together is not the best combination. :( Hopefully this will all get out of my system soon!!! It totally sucks! :mad:

[bunny]

WOW Jess sorry I just noticed this post. I'm glad you are feeling better.And I'm sure you will follow DR. orders so that you can get better.

[utkd29]

When are you going back to work?

[mkrebecca]

good to see you back Jess! take it easy and get feeling better soon!

[MandMnmbr3]

Happy to hear you are home Jess. Take care!!!

Hugs,
Mae

[Jess0587]

Thank you all ladies! Yep, trying my hardest to follow these orders on all the medicines and stuff. I'm getting so frustrated, there's all these different little things I have to do at different times. And the medicine has me all feeling different and it's just no fun. I will probably be going back to work on Wednesday. So hopefully by then I will have this routine down pat and some energy built back up. Thank yall for being so nice :o :)

That's great your son has outgrown it! I thought I had out grown mine, which they say you don't ever get rid of it ofcourse, but with allergies, stress, cold weather, and viruses going around, my body just took a beating and gave in I guess :rolleyes: Thank you for your prayers.
