HI everyone. First I want to thank EVERYONE for sending me well wishes. You all are wonderful. I went yesterday and I had my finally apt with my doctor Dr Jawad in Ocala. He is the best! I have never had a doctor be so kind, caring and thinking of me instead of the 25 patient that are still waiting to see him. He really cared about how I feel and wants me to be okay with all that has happen to Pam. I wish she could be here with me to go throughout the joys of our new life. She is in a better place and I know she will be holding my hand in surgery and will really be my angel! that's really a special thing. I have updated to let everyone know where I will be at and what I will be doing. Here is that info My surgery is at 1pm on Tuesday, May 6. My name will be under Jillian Jordan. I will be at Munroe regional medical center. The phone number is 352-351-7200. You may call me. And My Mom and Husband Andrew will be their with me. My husbands cell phone number is 904-703-7735 if you would like to try and call that number to check on me. If you don't get him on that number call the hospital and tell them you want my room. I talked to Dr Jawad and he said he will be keeping me until Friday since I live so far away. He then wants me to get a motel and stay until he takes out first tube. So around the 12th and 13th I will be home. I asked him about why Pam died and he asked me what they thought were her problems. I told him what I know, That her liver was not working and her po2 levels were a 4 and jaundice had set in. So the doctor order more test and before she could get them test she died. He said it sounded like when a person has the surgery open their is risk of damaging the liver if you clamp it to hard to move it out of the way. And believes this is what happen and the doctor didn't have any other patients with this problem so he didn't know what to look for and she died. So when her hubby calls me back to tell me about what the autopsy says I will let everyone know. I feel a lot better. DR Jawad said NOTHING will happen to me. He promises. He even hugged me and told me everything will be all right. I was so surprised a doctor had never hugged me before. Man I love this doctor and have so much faith in him! What a new life I will have. Thank you all for you r support! It means so much to have you all for friends. May God bless you and your familles.
HUGS,
Celeste
