Update on Kenny's Surgery

 I would like to thank all of you for your sweet prayers and concerns for Kenny and myself, during this back surgery.. It has been a rough week.. But your thoughtfulness, has meant so much.

 Update:  We are home from the hospital.. Kenny has a long ,hard recovery period ahead of him, But we know with  all the prayers and concerns from our friends[and my sweet sewing friends].. He will be up and enjoying a  relatively normal life in a while.  Keep praying.. I look so forward to hearing from each of you.. I will update as often as I can.

UPDATE- 2/19/2012
Today has been a pretty rough day for Kenny..He is having alot of nausea..So hasn't been eating. I am sure the nausea is from all the medicine. The doctor called in some phenergan [nausea med] ...this seems to be helping.
Keep praying and know, I apprecaite your sweet comments and prayers ,as does Kenny.

UPDATE: 2/21/2012
 This morning started out with a rough morning. Kenny woke with  alot of nausea, increased heart rate, and
pain.. He is very pale /ashy color. I gave him some phergan, and pain med. After 2 hours, he was still very sick. I got my oxygen out and  after a little while, he seemed to get a little better. He is napping in the recliner now. I pray that when he wakes up , he will feel better.
 Please continue to pray. It is such a blessing to know  to know all the prayers are going up for him..
 I know this is a sewing blog... but no sewing going on now.ha.

UPDATE: 2/27/12
 What a wonderful thing to update..Kenny is so much better today.. We have had a long , rough few days.. He began to have muscle spasms and was so nauseated, he couldn't  eat anything. We ended up going to the ER on Saturday..  They started IV's and got the spasms to stop.
  He is so much better today.  He is eating some, and they gave him medicine to help with the muscle spasms.. So hopefully..we are on our way to getting better and better.
  thankyou so much for your prayers.I so apprecaite them.. and soon and very soon.. I hope to post some sewing.. [I sure am missing my sewing projects!!!]

  7. I'm happy everything went well at the hospital Judy. AS you already know, our Great Physician takes care of His children. I will continue praying that Kenny gets stronger and stronger everyday. Take this time to spoil him rotten. lol...

  8. Judy, I am so sorry to hear that Kenny is still suffering. Pain medication is so tricky; it is so helpful but it can be so very hard on the system too. It tricky to balance pain relief with side effects. I know you are educated and experienced with sick people but the burden of caring for a person in pain is so great. I'll continue to pray not only for Kenny but that God gives you wisdom on when to involve doctors and when to do things yourself. God Bless

  9. Dear Sweet Judy,

    Although I have been away from the "blogging" world for awhile, you and Kenny have never been far from our thoughts and prayers. Times such as these can really be "testing" for us...look to friends for encouragement...look to our Saviour for comfort and direction.

    Continuing to hold you both up daily...and trusting in Him who knows all...

    With love,
    Laura

  10. Dear Judy,

    I saw this cute material today (Wizard of Oz-like) and thought of you...praying that Kenny's spasms have subsided and that the medicine is helping. It is so hard to watch someone we love suffer with pain...please know that we are praying for you both each and every day.

    With love,
    Laura
