Hi Kris, wondering how you are doing?

Dear Hans & Kris,
I’m praying for you everyday too. I hope that you get over this infection and are allowed to go back home soon.

Hi Hans,

Thanks for your update on Kris, sorry to hear that she is not doing too great right now.

Positive thoughts and my best wishes to you both,

Gavin

Thanks for the update Hans. Sorry things aren’t going better. Thinking of you both and hoping for things to improve very soon.

Love & Hugs,
Darla

Hans and Kris,

You both remain in my prayers. I know it is tough right now. But I also know that you’re two tough people. I’m hoping/praying that the hospital stuff will wrap up quickly and that Kris will heal quickly and get the OK to go home – and soon after that a super smart plan of attack can be put together.

Your fighting spirit has encouraged me at times that I’ve been really down and I hope that through the latest trials you will keep up that same fighting spirit to press on.

Prayers and hugs.

Rick

Hans,

Tell Kris that we are all thinking about her. I need my cancer buddy back up and rarin’ to go. I know how tiresome feeling ill can be. I hope the antibiotics can wipe out that infection and you can both get home to the kitties. I’m really sorry this is just going on and on. I wish I was there so I could come to the hospital and sing and dance and make you guys laugh! (Hmmm, maybe not…you say she’s ALREADY nauseous!)

Take care.
Hugs,
Sue

Hi everyone!

Update on Kris isn’t so hot. Or rather, it’s too hot – she’s had a 39.7 C (103.46 F) fever the last two nights. Combine that with occasional nasty nausea and some pain, she’s not doing so well. Although in the greater scheme of things it’s just a nuisance it’s pretty hard on her, especially since it keeps her in hospital day and night, and since it’s now more than three weeks after her surgery she really wants out. At long last they have at least established that the cause is a blood infection, so hopefully the antibiotics will do their job.

More dramatically yesterday they put a drain through her back into her pleural sack, and drained her right lung of 2,5 liter of fluid! Why it had built up is unclear – and we don’t even know if there is a direct connection to her fever. Nothing more seems to be coming out now though.

So, stuck at the hospital we amuse ourselves with all kinds of x-rays and tests – today was CT day so lots of contrast to drink. Yummy! Erh… not…

Kris’ mom and dad, and her sister, are by now all back on their side of the Atlantic, and we’re both still living at the hospital. So the cats are back to boarding with my mom – and we miss them!
