Update on Anne:
I spoke to Anne earlier tonight. I told her of all your prayers and she was very grateful and comforted by them.
She has pancreatitis (sorry for the spelling), four people have died from this condition in the hospital where she is this year, so it is quite a dangerous condition.
The doctors can't operate until the inflammation of her pancreas reduces; her levels were at 3000 now at 2900, a normal level would be 60. At this rate they won't be able to operate for about six weeks or so this is also determined on availability of theater time. She is in the public system here which is better than the American system, but still can be slow.
She is on oxygen and has other devices attached as other organs can be affected by the inflammation like the lungs and kidneys. She is in no pain - Thank God, but had to drive herself to the hospital in excruciating pain which was relieved eventually with a couple of shots of morphine.
She sounds good but very tied, and happy to be out of pain.
I know all your prayers are very powerful and she is blessed to have all your support and love.
Thank you
God Bless

No she won't be in the hospital the whole time Janette. She'll have to wait at home until her levels are normal -ish and also when a theater and surgeon become available.
Unless she has another bad flare up, which we pray she doesn't.
Jen I think they are looking at releasing her on Friday. I'm praying that the inflammation does something extraordinary and reduces by Friday so they can operate this week, that would be a miracle.
I think Anne was hoping to save the gall bladder but I don't think that will be the case as I understand it.
God Bless
Chemai

What an ordeal, our family has been praying for you Anne. So relieved to hear you have some respite now from that horrible pain.
Here's praying you don't have to wait too long on the hospital waiting list.
God Bless,
Marcia

Anne, we are remembering you in every prayer we utter.
We will especially prayer that those levels come down extremely fast so that you may be taken care of as soon as possible and get on the complete road to healing.
Pancreatitis is painful.....praying for you!!
