Thanks Mary for the update. The first thing I checked when I got to work this morning was to find out about Ross. Please keep us updated. My thoughts and prayers are with Ross and his family.

 

[Gnusgal]

he said they had given him some ativan to take the edge off.

I'm glad ativan "takes the edge off" for him. I just hallucinated when they gave it to me! Trees turning into monkeys, walls swaying, ants building a chocolate city... Hopefully Ross is calm as a cucumber while the docs fix him up!

Mary, thanks so much for keeping us informed. I've been going nuts too.

Ross, if you were just looking for everyone to say gushy things about you, all you had to do was ask... Seriously, though, please get well soon. You're too important to stay away for long. Besides, with all the "zillions" of people praying for you, how could you NOT get well?!

 

[hensylee]

Ross, you are keeping me awake!

I love you, you know, my friend.

Good luck Ross! Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I know you do a lot to help people on this site and it's greatly appreciated.

I hate doctors and hopsitals too

 

[Andrew'sMom]

Sending up lots of prayers for you Ross. I hope you are being well taken care of. Thinking of you and wishing you the very best.

Mary, thank you so much for your updates.

 

[Mary]

Well, this is an update of sorts.
I called and talked to the ICU nurse. She went in his room to make sure the phone was nearby, and came back and said, "He is snoozing pretty heavily!"
We all know the difficulties Ross has getting any sleep, so I said I would call back.
When I do talk to him, I will post.

 

[Karlynn]

Glad to read he's getting some sleep.

 

[Superbob]

Well, I hope he is getting some good sleep, and that his problem will be corrected and he will be back home (and online) soon. He is missed!

Thanks for checking on him, Mary.

 

[Birdie]

Most of you do not know me here but I do know Mary and have known Ross for over 3 years.
I called this morning also and they did ring me thru to his room. I was surprised. He sounded very dopey. Well, dopier than he normally does. He said he swallowed the camera. I did not keep him long because he really sounded groggy.
Mary, I am checking regularly for your updates. I will let you know if I know anything.

 

[Wise]

Glad to hear Ross is resting. He's still in our thoughts and prayers.

Wise & Cindy

I called a few minutes ago; Lynn was in the room and answered the phone. I asked how he was, and she said, "Tired, hungry, and grumpy!" Ross got on the phone and said, " I'm hungry". I said, "I thought you had eaten a camera for breakfast" but he said "not completely."
(I don't know much about the procedure so I will leave it up to someone else who does to interpret. )

I asked him if there was anything we could do from the forum and he said, "send meat, lot's of meat." So there we have it!

He said he had seen the doctor, but for now they are just keeping him where he is and continuing to try and build his blood back up.
He sounds pretty good, a little weak, but not dopey like he did last night.
I won't call again until tomorrow. He is still in intensive care, and I don't want to push my luck gaining access to either Lynn or him.
If anyone wants to send a card to the house, PM me and I will get an address to you. I also have the hospital address if you want that.
Ann, (Hensylee), has voluntered to help send addresses, so I'm going to suggest we split the member list alphabetically and she take half, and I can take half.

If your member name falls between A-L, PM me.
If you're M-Z p ) PM Hensylee.
