Jeanne is being put on a ventilator


Today Jeanne is being put on a ventilator to help her breathing, and will start receiving dialysis. Her kidneys are not working as a side effect from the anti-viral drugs she has been receiving, and usually this type of drug induced kidney problem will correct itself. But in the meantime her body is accumulating to much fluid which makes her breathing more difficult. The dialysis will help to remove that fluid, and the venilator will help her breath, rest, and maintain her lung capacity.

Please send some healing energy in Jeannes direction while this is going on. We will update this again soon.

Jeanne is still in the ICU. Her pneumonia is getting better along with her breathing, but she is tired and feeling effects from some of the medications she was taking. She has been very confused and groggy, and today has started having some significant kidney problems. This evening they are reviewing all her medications and blood levels, and will start deciding how to approach that tommorow.

Thanks to everyone for the messages, food and good thoughts.
