Donna my sweet darlin ... you have left me speechless. My heart is breaking for you right now.
Your words are written with such strength and love. That strength and love is what will pull you through this. I will be praying every day for you Donna.

Oh Donna I dont know what to say either except you are a very strong women and use your strengths to the very end, which should be a long time. I hope that they can get it all together for you and figure something out. IV feedings anything that will get you stronger. I am crying for you and your partner and your kids. Thinking about the end of this wonderful thing we call life is extra depressing, but hopefully there trully is light at the end of the tunnel. Have you tried RYZOLT for pain relief. The doctors have me on it right now and it is helping some. I will say a prayer and light a candle for you and your family and everyone else on TT going through major issues right now, myself included. Good luck sweetie and stay strong.

Donna - I'm very very sad to read this. I know you have had a lot of problems lately (well, since I've been around) so it is sad to hear you are still suffering. I kept looking at your age and wondering why??? and how???
I truly hope the doctors can come up with a solution and you will continue to fight! Know that many many people are praying for you and wishing you the best.

Donna I am so sad to hear this is happening to you. Your complications really remind us that this can happen to anyone. I wish I could say something that would be magical and make everything ok. All I can offer is that I will keep you in my thoughts and have faith that you will make it through this stronger than ever.

I am at a total loss for words Donna.
Just know that you're in my heart and prayers. They will find an answer to this and you will get better.
Hugs!

Donna, just like everyone else, I have no words. My heart breaks for you, hun. I've seen you go to hell and back again time and time again. In everything you have always amazed me. You really have.
I'm glad the docs are putting their heads together. Has there been any discussion regarding TPN? You need nutrition in you and if you aren't absorbing the nutrition through your intestinal track it seems like TPN might be the best way for you right now?
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish there was more I could do or say. Sadly there isn't but please know you are in many people's thoughts.
