April 15, 2008 Encourgement Prays Needed

Information from friend Sharon Eisenhart

When I got home from the fundraiser meeting tonight I saw Michael had called several times and also Gloria.I called down and talked to them. Joy was too tired to talk. They stitched up around her port twice today because it was really seeping and they think they got it stopped. Her feeding tube they put up her nose because they don't want to cut her anymore because of bleeding. Last night her appetite really came back and she has been really eating. She has diarrhea every 5 minutes and has asked them to cut back on her lactose. All the fluid in her legs is gone and tomorrow they want to get her to stand. Both Michael and Gloria told me she is depressed and when they ask her to smile she says she doesn't feel like it. We all know this is not the Joy we know. They are asking for prayers for her depression. Tomorrow is the transplant meeting day. Let's also pray that she goes on the list tomorrow.-Sharon Eisenhart
