Folks Of Interest Our friend Julie from * GENE WINFIELD ROD & CUSTOM * is in the hospital!

Yaayyyy!!!!!

 

Good News Mark,

You are the best for being right there by her side. God Bless the Both of You...

 

That is the absolute best news I have had come my way in the past two weeks. Good to hear that she is doing better.

 

I just saw this. Let her know a Mass is being dedicated to her in Whiting Indiana. Unless she hates Catholics....

 

She lives with one... And....Thank you!

 

way cool! Us NWIndiana guys aint all bad afterall!

I'm so glad to see she's been making improvements!

 

This is a good thing...

For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst' (Matthew 18:19-20)."

 

Love you brother...

 

Ditto my friend!!!

 

How is She doing now? Need a update.

 

I second that

 

3rd that, hopefully continued good news.

 

She posted on Facebook at 2 am on Saturday, that must be good right? Still praying for you Julie until you tell us to stop! Get better!

 

Julie is doing really good. After laying still for almost 3 months, She has to re-learn just about everything a human being does in her daily life. She is improving every day and is way ahead of what the doctors thought she would be.

She still can not stand up on her own but has good use of her hands now. She is getting some mobility in her legs and can bend her knees. This allows her to sit in a wheelchair and see the outside world. We sat outside on Friday and just watched the cars go by. Something she has not seen in a long time.

The doctor has capped her tracheostomy and she is breathing very well. The next step is to place a "button" over it for a few days. The next step after that will be removing it.

She has her phone and can get on facebook. Pop in and say hello. "Julie McQuade", She would love hearing from you.

Again, Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers. ........ Mark

 

something that sounds so simple as "sitting outside and watching the cars go by"

we all take for granted until the opertunity is taken from us. we all need to slow down and sit with some one we love and watch the cars go by. pleased you have gotten the chance again .

my thoughts are with you guys.

Wow, that is amazing. She is definitely a hell of a hard fighter, that is for sure. Sounds like it will be a long road ahead for her, but sounds like she is on the right path.

Best of luck Julie. Hope you get back on your feet real soon!

 

Julie, I beat a severe staph infection this year simply by beleiving that I could according to two doctors . They were convinced I had a week to live . Say it to yerself , I beleive .......... scrubba

Super Great Newz!

Great news, Mark! Congratulations to the both of you for fighting this one thru. It has been a long road for you and Julie, Thank God she is on the upside of this ordeal now.
God Bless you both,
Carl

 

Glad to see Julie's doing better!!!! Hopefully she will go home soon!
I couldn't post the BBQ pic's on a seperate thread for her,cause my home computer still has a virus on it.....Tell her I said HI!

 

Great to hear things are going well and in a positive direction. Tried posting yesterday but my computer was acting up.

 

Just a quick uprate..

The doctor removed Julie's gastric tube (feeding tube) yesterday morning and came back around 2pm and removed her tracheostomy tube. The only thing left is an I.V. in her left hand. She is working every day to improve her strength. She is able to move her legs now and can sit on the edge of the bed.

With some luck. Julie will be able to come home in the next few days. She has 123 days in the hospital. We are working with the doctors to set up therapy outside the hospital. She will be in a wheelchair for a while and will need to be on oxygen until her lungs get stronger.

Again, Thank you for the prayers and healing vibes. ... Mark..

 

if by chance you are at Loma Londa and meet Dr McIntyre-Heller, tell her that Larry Woods wants her to use all her "magic" in getting Julie "back".

 

Thanks Mark,
That's the good news we've all been waiting to hear....she's going home!

 

So glad to hear she is doing better
