Since one member asked me. I figured why not make a thread about her and I can update as well.

I am going to give you a breif story of what happened.

When my sister was 18 years old she was diagnosed with Hodgkins Disease. Chemo and Radiations she had to have, survived it. But radiations damaged her lungs and gave her scar tissues.

April of this year she had to have open heart surgery to replace her 2 valves with a mechanical valve. Ever since she had the op she had been declining since. So they put this powder in her lungs that turns into mesh to prevent her lungs from filling up. Well when she breaths it makes her feel like she has a brick wall in her lungs. She has been in and out of the hosptial since with diffculties of breathing.

She was in the hospital in August was put on ventilator for quite some time, then they were able to put a trache in her. Finally came home in October for 2 weeks. The morning of my birthday she was rushed to the hosptial and almost died when they were trying to get the ventilator in her to help her breath. Thankfully they got it in her and got her breathing. She has been declining since.

Last night my dad calls me to tell me that my sister died on the table and they were able to revive her by bagging her. So they did not have to shock her heart.

I hope this helps everyone understand a bit of what happened to her. I will update as much as I can. If she don't get enough oxygen she will die, if they take the ventilator out of her she will die.

She has 2 kids, 1 is 12 her name is Samantha and the other 1 is 9 his name is Justin, they are having a hard time dealing with this cause since my sister had the op she was only home total of a month combined. So the kids did not have a summer with their mum, just only 10 days to North Carolina.

Please keep her in your prayers. I am not ready to let her go until I see her again. My mom is making arrangements so I can come out and see her. She is heavily sedated right now until they get this resolved.
 
I am so very sorry for your family! We will keep Christie in our prayers and hope that everything changes around for her and she can return to raise her children where she should be.

:pray:
 
Thank you, prayers is needed. I have so many people praying for her. You know my ssiter did die last night, she could have left us all, but she didn't she came back. I know she is in Gods hands.
 
I'm so sorry to hear about this...such a difficult thing for a family to go through. I'm definitely adding my prayers for your sister and your entire family...may miracles shine...

:pray:
 
Thank you both.

Update before bed.

the minor op went well. She is ok and a bit better so that is good news. They will find out tomorrow from the docs about the lungs of hers. So I will update tomorrow once I hear from them.
 
I hope they have good news for all of you.

I have been thinking of you and her. Thanks for stopping in to let us know. Hope you are having a good rest tonight.
 
Ok update on my sister. my mom left me a voice mail today.

My sister is ok and sedated have to. The doctors are going to come up with 1 of the 2 decisions for her. Either lung scrapings to get the mesh off, or the transplant. so once they come up with that then we will know. Hopefully it don't take long to come up with an answer.

My mom has made arrangements for me to come and see her whenever I want. Once things settle down a bit I can head over so hopefully by Sat it will be a bit better. I am off and have told her that, also I have told her that I want to be there for her op no matter what.

Keep her in your thoughts and prayers. I am ok, just worried for either one of the ops but the doctors know what is best and hopefully if they do the transplant that she can pull though.
