Hi Lynn, Thanks for the update on Jude. We need all the information we can get. Oh it makes me so angry that she has five new bed sores! Aren't they watching for these things - good grief. And you're so right, she needs to get back into the hospital NOW.
You mentioned you sent her a package that included Melaleuca Oil etc. My sister uses all of the Melaleuca products and simply will use nothing else now! I've used some of them at her house, and I agree, they really are great. I'm sorry to hear that you are in such pain. I hope you get that resolved right away. This has been one of the hardest winters for me too since TM came to live in my body six years ago. We had a "hint" of spring last week and now we have snow again. I want spring and some warm air!! I think we all do. Jude is in my prayers each and every day.

Hi Everyone ~ I had a wonderful chat with Jude today. She wanted me to tell all of you how very much she is appreciating all of the cards, flowers, books, CD's, etc.....and to tell all of you that you are keeping her spirits up...!! She is just amazed at the outpouring of love she's receiving from this TM family. I learned she has five new bed sores since going into this nursing home. She described them to me and I about fell off my chair.....one of them is the size of a small orange. I told her she needed to go back into the hospital....and she agreed...and will be calling her PCP (personal care physician) tomorrow. They have done nothing for these bed sores so I got a package together for her with Melaleuca Oil, bandages, triple antibiotic cream, everything I could think of and got it off to her. She has Dave looking for it now because she is going to try it on the sore on her ankle. I told her to just do the one sore and see if there is improvement...if so, use it on the other sores. She will need more than just the Melaleuca Oil but it's a start in the right direction. This is the best tree tea oil on the market....it soaks in and heals from the inside out.....another paraplegic friend of mine used it and now swears by it ...he uses it whenever his skin gets the least bit red because he knows a sore is beginning and he nips it in the bud with this oil. I even got some advice from Jude today regarding Fentanyl patches. My neuro just took me off my Oxycontin and has me trying the Fentanyl patch and I've been curled up in a ball of pain for the past three days. Jude told me he needs to up my dosage...what he gave me isn't strong enough...so I'm calling my neuro tomorrow regarding this. My pain has been off the charts this winter....worse winter with TM in ten years of living with this dang syndrome..! Jude needs us now more than ever so please keep those prayers going up.
