Saturday 11/07/09 Update on Lee and Timna Peterman
Timna Update Saturday 11/07/2009 12:30ish pm Eastern I have lost the rest of my faith in radiologists. Yesterday evening the surgeon looked at their report and her foot and said things were good and there was no need to operate. I raised her foot and showed him the bottom of her toe where it was pussing out. He looked at the actual CAT scan images on computer and said the images show necrotic tissue inside the toe. Now it's just a question of when the toe is removed. This morning Timna responded to stimulus by trying to cough during lung suction and by moving her eyes. I met with the infectious care Dr. and with the surgeon this morning. We've decided that the toe surgery need in relation to her strength is not immediate (Monday). The surgeon will meet with the podiatrist, ICU cardiologist and the kidney specialist tomorrow and re-evaluate. Timna's urine output has decreased slightly. Her blood pressure is back in the normal range. Her temp is hovering around 103f. Some of you have been asking about my test. The test results from my small bowel series will be available next week. Anything critical would have been revealed to me right away... back to my faith in radiologists issue. I have been getting a lot of support from God, family, friends and on line friends. Without that my emotions would be like Jello dropped on Daytona Speedway in July. THANKS TO ALL! It's hard when every brainstorm results in a power failure.- Lee Peterman

Timna had such a kind heart. She was so selfliss. She loved the Lord with all she had. Her life has not ended, it has just begun. Think, now she has no more pain, no more disease; A PERFECT body, and she is face to face with her Savior.

Lee,
ReplyDeleteI am reading about this today after having talked to Susan vandenbrink and finding out about what happened. I wanted to let you know how sorry I am. I knw that it doesn't help the hurt and loss. My dad passed away in january of this yer and after reading the story I was struck by the fact i was going through very similar things at the same time. I can't begin to know or understand your hurt but I do know the loss. I will be praying for you as you too redefine "normal". She was a special lady and she was lucky to have you to love her.
