Good Morning Everyone;
I know that many of you know most of this already, but I am just copying my todays blog from over at 360.
There is a part that you may not know though. (This, as you near the last 1/3rd of the entry).
Suffice to say that Casey is definitely wanting OUT of the hospital...
And I am definitely wanting OFF this roller coaster.

Good Morning Everyone!
Concerning Yahoo 360, I do not think that I am back.
But I have received emails asking very kindly for an update.
Do not feel the need to comment on my 360, God knows I probably won't be able to even read them.- (That is, IF you can even leave one in the first place).
So here goes your update....

Before her surgery
In the wee hours of 12-18-08
.
.
.
.
All of her lines- afterwards...
.
Getting a hand massage
12-22-08
.
.
To date, she has had 7 units of blood.
.
.
.
Policy in transplant centers:
NO LIVE PLANTS. NO CUT FLOWERS.
She was allowed to keep this one because she had no roommate.
Thank you Beth and Family
.
.
.
She shows off her scar!
.
.
We celebrated Christmas together.
One week after surgery
.
.
.
.
?
. . . . 
Santa was very good to her- ........................ And she LOVES her cards too!
.
.
.
.
But a day later, she began to feel ill again...
.
.
My brother John came to visit his "nephew"
(ask Casey about that).
hehehe
.
.
Her tummy swelled...
Time to call the surgeons in again...
.
.
.
Dr. Kasie Banton and Casey
.
.
Things got worse, and she was off to surgery a 2nd time.
12/28/08
.
.
During this surgery, they drained 2+ liters of blood and fluids from her abdomen.
They also removed a blood clot (bigger than a golf ball), from her duodenum.
She came back to her room very 'out of it'.
I then left for a few short hours...
.
.
.
And when I returned, this is how she was.
A mere 2 hours after!
.
.
.
I have Punk along, and she was going as crazy as Casey.
So it was high time to bring her for a visit.
.
.
.
My sister Barbara and Family sent flowers.
(I hid them in the bathroom).
.
.
Punk is lonely all over again.
And yes, I brought her up a 2nd time.
.
.
.
Casey recovered very quickly from her 2nd surgery,.
and on Saturday was even released!
(But with an appointment already scheduled for Monday to return).
I could NOT blog about this as she wanted to surprise Greg coming home.
.
.
And it was "bye-bye" Unit 6B
With a smile on her face...
.
.
.
That night she threw up her dinner.
We thought it because of all the excitement.
Since I have no cooking facilities in the hotel,
I went to Perkins and got her some chicken noodle soup on Sunday Morning.
.
.
.
After three bites of soup, her whole body looked like this.
Hives.
As we see the tattoo she has gotten-
The Holy Trinity she'd designed; (for her sister, Reianna).
CLICK TO READ ABOUT REIANNA if you are new here.
Casey was "free" for a little over 24 hours..
They readmitted her Sunday night.
She remains hospitalized, as we wait for results on her CDIFF testing.
.
Back to the hospital.
Getting her ER IV changed...
.
.
.
.
.
.
Lynn's daughter Christi (my Goddaughter), went to "Build a Bear"
And this is "Jewel" with Casey!
.
.
.
Needless to say, Punk is sad all over again.
As I am too.
.
.
.
That is basically all I know for right now... and I await Casey's call this morning.
Love to all
XOXO
Anne
