How terrifying for all of you. Justin and I are heading to Las Vegas on Saturday and if Wendy is still there, we would love to go see her and spend some time with her. My boys are all so worried about their "Aunt Wendy with the boat" (They all adored her after our trip to Montana 2 years ago) and we are praying that things will be back to normal soon. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help out.Krista Baerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15536804637538882265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2880282710240044081.post-46405367715311865332011-03-30T13:38:23.929-07:002011-03-30T13:38:23.929-07:00Wendy and anyone who is advocating for her! Wendy ...Wendy and anyone who is advocating for her! Wendy and I have the same weird anatomy. I had a team of doctors from Virginia Mason perform an experimental surgery on me in order to capture my duodenum and place a stent in the main pancreas duct. No one else had ever done that surgery with our anatomy! Maybe they would be willing to work with you to help get food into you! Virginia Mason is a teaching college and the two doctors are world reknown. There are no better or more well known in the world. They are Dr. Richard Kozarek and William Traverso. They were able to open me up just below my ribs and reach over to the right side to capture the duodenum. They then opened it up and were able to reach the pancreas that way. Seems to me they could do the same thing to insert a port so you can get some food in you. That was the 3rd time I was opened up in the same spot and the healing only took about two weeks. No big deal! It would give them a chance to improve their skills and teach others about the surgery. Someone needs to contact them and see if they would consider that. Let me know if I can help with anything. Hang in there Wendy, you have a boat load of people praying for you!!! Love ya cuz!

He ruptured his bladder and had a hole in it. He had a superpubic cath in for almost four months before they felt it was healed enough. It does take time. We've followed Wendy's progress and have been so concerned for her. Our prayers will continue for her.Linda Tunnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423265966091830574noreply@blogger.com
