Big Cliff Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 I guess sometimes our prayers do get answered. Give her our love! She sure is a special one!
splashhopper Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 Chief Surgeon (and the 8 people following him around) just left. Absolutely amazed at "how well he did" on this one. He's never had a patient at this stage of recovery by the next afternoon. No problems flexing her toes or moving her knee. They're not usually that mobile with an epideral still in. Only thing Jen is complaining about pain wise is the monitor pads glue, or gell, burnt her chest.
bigugli Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 I am so glad to hear she is doing so well, post-op. May you all enjoy every blessing intended for your family.

Dusky Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 Great news Wayne, she is one tough cookie and lucky to have such loving family around her.
Rattletrap2 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 Yes indeed Wayne, great to hear that things are going well! Give Jen our best wishes as well.
express168 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 Great to hear, she definitely sounds like quite a fighter. Remember that love helps the healing process.
irishfield Posted July 8, 2011 Author Report Posted July 8, 2011 Thanks again guys! I wish I had the capability to post a picture from my camera while away from home. You wouldn't believe the smiles/laughs and spirit she had at 7 am on Wednesday while waiting for the Anethesiologist to come and get her. The will to live is an amazing thing. They gave her a hair net as part of her garb... she came out after changing and slapped it on her boyfriend's head.... as she has no hair! (well she actually has what we're calling 5 o'clock shadow now)
Ron Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 Been gone for a few days. That is great news to hear Wayne!
motion Posted July 8, 2011 Report Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Hey Wayne. My thoughts and prayers are with Jen and the rest of your family. May god continue to give you all the strength to pull though this. Edited July 8, 2011 by motion
irishfield Posted July 9, 2011 Author Report Posted July 9, 2011 Jewel of the day today.. Oncologist coming in just to tickle her toes ! Says to her "so when do you want me to schedule your next chemo" and Jen says "NEVER". He says "that works for me"!

esoxansteel Posted July 9, 2011 Report Posted July 9, 2011 The Irishfield family, weve never met, but you have one incredibly strong willed girl their, and you must be incredibly proud of her determination, and the support she has from her family, and the extended OFC family is truly remarkable.
irishfield Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Posted July 10, 2011 Thanks folks. Got her to eat the first solid food today after 3.5 days without. One chicken finger, but it's a start. Not sure the fear is eating...it's what the by product is and the fact she is bed ridden flat on her back and can't move with an epideral still in her spine..
Moosebunk Posted July 10, 2011 Report Posted July 10, 2011 I've had to play catch up here Wayne. Sorry for that, but not sorry at all to hear surgery went well and Jen is recovering. You and your family are wicked awesome bud. Jen and you all certainly a testament to hope and strength. Glads I knows yas. Let that be the end of sufferring and the page turned. Wish you all a great summer from here on out. So deserving of that, and some peace.

irishfield Posted July 10, 2011 Author Report Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) The page has definitely turned, but I think (after 7+ months) the hard part is about to begin Drew. Possibly 6 weeks of bed rest, possibly 3 months of wheel chair and then walker/crutches and trying to put weight on the now unattached (mechanically) leg. Hopefully it all goes quicker, but it's gonna be a long haul for all of us and especially Jennifer. No more in for a week and then home for two. Just stuck in there all together, as are we. She's still got a positive attitude and I hope she can hang on to it throughout the process. Edited July 10, 2011 by irishfield
