Kristina and Jason,

Kristina, I know I didn't get the chance to meet you while we were there, we were hoping to but knew you were in tests, we had the opportunity to meet Jason and talk with him, and glad that we did, we found out that you guys are from Texas, we will be moving there very soon, same town, we hope when things are settled that we could get together and talk one day, that would be awesome.


You both and your familys are in our prayers, stay strong, and keep on going....let us know when you can how things are going...

Hillary, Linda, Hailey, and Holly

Rhonda:  I just said a prayer for Kristina, and I'll keep her in my prayers this morning. Give us an update later when you can when she's out.    Tricia

Tricia, thank you very much for your prayer.  Thank you!!

sorry i guess the butterflies carried me a way for a minute, (hehe) but i'm back.     i love those smilies. it's now 11:15 in texas (9:15 CA) and the surgery has been in progress for almost 2 hours.  my emotions go back and forth.  please come around 3:00  CA time!! 

i wish i could be there too!   it makes me very sad to not be there today.   
i am going to try to be as positive that i can be today for kristina.

YES YES YES YES!!

she did GREAT!!  she is in ICU right now and jason, rhonda and jimmy were able to visit her for about 10 minutes.  they said she looked good--coloring was good, she was very coherent and observant---asked rhonda why she didn't bring her purse with her.  said that she was doing fine.  only complaint was that she is thirsty.  not just thirsty but really really really thirsty--i could picture her making everyone laugh why she said that .  we'll take that!   

'i am the happiest girl in the whole USA.    ' 
i just want to give dr. steinberg a big fat large kiss with an oversized hug x 2! 

whew! i gotta say that was the longest morning and early afternoon in my whole life.  i knew she was in the bestest of hands though. 
 
Mar THANKS for your replies and thoughts and prayers.  May God Bless You!

Way to go Kristina and family!  You'll be back home, healthy and happy (with your dogs!) before you know it. 

I find it simply amazing that both Kristina and David were just a mere month ago posting on the guest book and surgery was yet but a glimmer in their mind.  Miracles do happen!  It makes me want to cry thinking about all the happy endings that happen right here on this board!

Get well soon Kristina!
Lisa

; Just like everyone else said, so glad Kristina made it through, though I figured she would!  Dr. S is amazing!!
Best wishes for quick recovery and return safely to Texas!  love from fellow Texan, Tricia 

Kristina and Jason - Tara, Jillayne and I will be coming up to Stanford sometime over the weekend to find David and Angie - we'd love to meet you too.  Please leave a note with the nurses that it's ok for them to tell Tara (they know her) which room you are in (patient confidentiality restrictions).  We live in San Jose and are less than a 1/2 hour away.

Send us an e-mail through the website and we'll give you our contact info.

Fantastic news about Kristina.....wishes for a speedy recovery....Prayers continue to be with you....Pat

Good morning to all!!!
Wow, we feel really, really blessed at all the posts.  We are so lucky to have all of you as our family.  I cannot thank each and every one of you enough for all your prayers and all of your concerns.

Just spoke with Kristina, and she wants desparately now to find a computer with Intneret hookup so she can read all the posts.  That is her goal right now.  There is a computer down the hall that David has been using.  I told her about that one.  Jason is taking laptop up to her room and they will see if they can get connected actually in her room.  I also have my laptop with Sprint Intnernet hookup that will work if I have good reception, which has been my problem while in hospital waiting rooms.

Kristina is doing EXCEPTIONALLY well.  Very coherent.  Very awake.  She knows what each and every nurse is doing to her every time the nurse attends to her. 
She was very excited to finally get out of ICU last night.  She wanted out of there and into a room, where she can now get up and walk the hallways and see all the flowers.  The landscaping is gorgeous.  And when you walk by the rows of flowers, you can smell them.  Very nice! 

David, Angie and her mom came to see Kristina yesterday.  And me and my husband have seen them a couple of times throughout hospital.  David is walking around the hospital.  And, boy, he looks sooo good.  He and his wife and mother-in-law are so very nice and loving and caring.  It's like we've known them for 20 years.  It is nice to have another family here to talk to about all of this.  I thank God that they are here at the same time we are.

Thank you, again, Everyone, for all the prayers.  Maybe Kristina will be sending next update herself personally!!!

Talk to y'all in a bit. 

Rhonda

Hillary, Tricia, Mar, Nancy, Lisa, Laura, Shari, Campbell, PatM, David, Chrisb1, DJ and everyone else, thank you all for the nice comments and prayers.  What an awsome support group!  It made me feel so nice to read all of your postings.  My eye is huge and blue right now. I am probably out of here on Sunday the 4th returning on Wednesday morning for the next round.   Thanks again guys for everything!   

Hi Kristina,

It's so great to see you on the boards. God Bless you.

Have a Happy 4th of July.  Keep us posted on how your doing.

You will be in my prayers.
