On September 20th after months and months of pain and discomfort Jamie ended up in the ER in excruciating pain. That ER visit turned into a 7day hospital stay where after lots of poking and prodding Jamie was diagnosed with severe diverticulitis along with a bowel obstruction most likely caused by scar tissue. Severely dehydrated, her body overworked and stressed, simply started to “shutdown”.
Three days of a gourmet diet of an I.V. drip with nothing by mouth, not even water they started adding clear liquids back into her diet. That went horribly wrong when they gave her vegetable broth with soy protein which she is allergic to, making her body, especially her bowels just as angry as the day she was admitted. Leaving her once again in pain, back to square one with I.V. only diet and extending her hospital stay.
After numerous tests with more to come and a special diet that she will need to be on for the rest of her life Jamie is now out of the hospital and has started the long road to recovery and self care. She will continue with outpatient care which will include more tests and probable surgery in the future.
She can return to work soon, however on limited duty and restricted physical activity.
As we all know Jamie’s job is physically demanding. She will need to cut back on how much she does.
The last thing anyone needs, especially when they are sick is to worry about how they will not only pay their huge medical expenses, but how they will survive on a day to day basis. I have encouraged Jamie to not make decisions regarding her health based on finances. However, we all know that is much easier said than done.
I have created this account in the hopes that you will find it in your heart to help in any way you can. Jamie gives so much of herself to others every single day. Please help me give back to her. Thank You ❤️
