First...Happy birthday sweet Jillian...12 years old today!!!!!!!!
Bad news....Linda is going to surgery.....it is major surgery.....with a cut from the breast bone to the bottom.....they are not sure where the hole is but speculate they will cut quite a bit..again not sure till they get in there....and how many potential future perforations there are.....with Linda's condition with cancer and the medications, the chance of putting things back together is very poor....and she will most likely have a colostomy for the rest of her life.
Linda is very emotional right now....even though it is very painful...she is trying to be very still....
The surgeon speculated the perforation is what happened tonight causing the sudden pain and vomiting and all.....he is the same surgeon who did her gall bladder surgery....he is good at what he does.....but this is a big one....
She is also on the "big guns" in terms of antibiotics......because of the infections in the body from the hole....her temperature remains high which means the body is fighting....
Say a prayer.....she will need it.....thank you

Oh wow!!! At times like this, I definitely question the big guy upstairs as to why he is making Linda go through all this. It irks me... Hang in there, Linda (and you too, Dave)!! It sounds like you have a great surgeon on hand though, so that's good. Our thoughts and prayers (lots of them) are with both of you!!
Love,
Jim and Swee
