raspberrywolf Posted March 26, 2009 Author Share Posted March 26, 2009 I am sorry I won't be able to update for (I am hoping only a few days *crossing fingers* metaphorically speaking)BUT I was involved in a car accident on my way to visit with Valorie today on one of our expressways...THANK GOD that I managed to avoid oncoming traffic...hit a patch of dangerous 'black ice' for those of you in the North you KNOW how dangerous that is...ended up facing backward down an embankment deep in water. Stoooooopid airbag failed to deploy so basically I am full of bumps and bruises from the seatbelt and hitting the steering wheel...I am writing this now 'cause I can' because they gave me some medication so I am kinda 'numb' right now...I know the days ahead is when I will really start to feel it. So there you go...some crazy sisters will do anything to go by ambulance to visit their much-loved 'Lil" Big sister Who really didn't need the extra stress of my accident but can't be helped...she is remaining her fiesty lil self though ...just very very tired.Thank you again Everyone and when I say "God Bless" You Know I truly mean it!!

darlene Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Vera, Sorry I've been off the board for a few days, but I'm so sorry to hear about Valorie and will put her and you in my prayers. Here's hoping she recovers and bounces back to her usual self soon. She is lucky to have a wonderful and loving sister to watch over her. --Love, Darlene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberrywolf Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Update: Valorie is doing a lil better(must be all of those prayer and well wishes for sure!!) The only thing is they have her just on clear fluids so she definately will still be in until they can discover what is 'setting' things off so badly. She had an MRI today so those results should come in on Monday. I am hoping to be able to try and visit with her tomorrow. Thank you again for all of your kind words. *Vera* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raspberrywolf Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 Update: Just letting you all know that I know your wonderful words are going to be a powerful motivater to Valorie to hurry back as I am going to print them off for her and bring them with me when I visit tomorrow! She still is on only fluids but as far as I am concerned as long as she isn't getting worse (in my eyes she is getting better being the lil fiesty gal that she is!!) Thank you thank you oh, and by the way did I mention "THANK YOU" so much for your willingness to take a moment to help someone you have never even met...well, at least most of you have not met...yet *Vera* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raspberrywolf Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 Update: Well Valorie is doing better...she actually ate some 'green beans' for supper tonight..wooooooo hooooo!! Her 'counts' have come done significantly...the docs are truly mystified how she is able to actually survive these high attack counts...I don't wanna know the 'how or the why' I am just thrilled she does!!!! So keep it up if you don't mind,'cause it's obviously working and she really does miss ya!!Thanks so much for all of your caring and compassion!*Vera* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberrywolf Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Update: Hi eveyone, I guess I 'jumped the gun' in the optimism department because Valorie NOW has taken a turn for the worse Her 'counts' went back up after eating that very small amount of 'solid food' so she remains in the hospital. If anyone else would like to/or be able to call her let me know because her spirits are now very very low. Also her vein were they were giving her medicine blew out today(icky) and because she has what the call extremely tiny veins, the next step now is to put a 'stint' in her neck region so she can keep getting medicine and IV fluids. PLEASE, can I ask for more thoughts and prayers her way again...I know I am being demanding BUT I really love my sister and want her to come home!!!*A very sad Vera* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darlene Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Keep the faith, Vera. You are both in my prayers. I know Val will get better soon. If you believe she will, she will. *I* believe she will, so I KNOW she will be home with you soon. --Love, Dar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMan Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 She will get better V...you can count on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspberrywolf Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Update:Valorie is home...this does NOT mean she is well...it only means that they can do no more for her without actually inflicting more damage...at least that's all they can do for here at our lil ol' hospital. She is happy to be home again and looking forward to catching up. But please, I know some of you that have regular contact with her by phone or by email remember she is still very sick and does still need to rest/take it e-z. Yes I am protective of my lil big sis, but I want her around for years to come, if that makes me seem selfish so be it...I want her to be able to continue her wonderful friendships here not just for a lil while, but for a long time to come!!! You all have been so kind and compassionate with your well wishes and prayers and please know it truly does mean the world to Valorie especially right now!! I know Valorie can speak/stand up for herself quite well, but sometimes, when she isn't feeling her best, she 'gives in' to her friends instead of taking care of herself because she doesn't wish to offend or hurt any of you!! Just don't take it personal if she says she is tired...it's not..she IS just tired. It's hard to keep up your strength when you have been on mostly I.V. for a week, not to mention the agonizing pain she is in. I think though, this is why she truly loves this site and her 'extended E.C. family'...it takes her away if even for a lil while from what she is going through day in and day out...and isn't that why most of us are here as well...'cause like that ol' saying goes....'a bad day on the E.C. com board is better than a good day in the hospital " !! She loves ya to all of you who took a moment and helped to get Valorie (and me) through this latest bad time!Health, Happiness & Safe Journey through your day!*Vera* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canadianchick Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Well hello everyone...yup, its me, not Vera,,, you can tell its me cuz I have crappy spelling and am not anywhere as articulate as my wonderful, loving younger sis, however...I am not going to speak further or dwell on my illness, but do want to thank everyone for their prayers, thoughts, words of encouragement and anything else they may have tossed my way... Nothing can beat meeting and speaking with kind, wonderful new friends all over the place. Thanks so much, Sadiis (Valorie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
