Hi Stampers,
Happy Sunday friends !
I wanted to send a BIG HUG thank you all of you
who have been praying for me .
I’m not sure when everything will be back to “Normal “
I hoping my leg will begin to
start healing and looking better .
As of right now I keep my right leg up and I started
going to the wound clinic on Mondays and Thursdays .
I’m not sure how long but the doctor is wrapping
my leg in a compression wrap which is about 4-5 layers
of wrapping it tightly each time they
wrap is tighter they are trying to get the fluid / blood from my leg.
I am able to get up and walk to bathroom and sit up for a bit my leg isn’t in
to much pain it’s just really tight and the worse part of my leg is the inside and outside of my ankle where the
blood/ fluid has pooled and I also have a lot of blisters
which is all from the infection I had called Cellulitis
which was started from the tiny blister on my pinky toe,
then the cellulitis turned into Spetic Shock which is what nearly killed me
if it weren’t for my husband getting me to the hospital Dec 8th Sunday night
the doctors said I would have been dead in less than 12 hours .
My Heart / Kidneys had already started to shut down
my blood pressure was 27/38 with no pulse.
Had me on 6-7 antibiotics and pumped me with at least 7 liters of fluid.
I really do not remember much.
I just remember everyone telling me in ICU how blessed I am to be alive.
Thank you all for your prayers
I can’t tell you how much I appreciate all your continual prayers .
Thank you for all your well wishes, flowers, cards, gifts.
I hope to open all your cards one day soon
It seems I sleep a lot, just trying to heal my body and keep my leg elevated.
I have my reg doctor follow up on Monday as well
as the wound clinic for the wrap change .
I am getting stronger every day since being released from the
Hospital on Tuesday Dec 17th.
My mom has been coming over to hang out with me during the day when hubby goes to work.
Everything is going to be okay
The doctors says it’s just going to take some time ( Praise God ! )
I wanted to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas .

I am glad you are home and back where you should be so your family can take care of you so you’re healing can keep going choose your doctor tells you we all love you Merry Christmas and a Happy New year and maybe we’ll all get together and chat signing off Sherri
I have been praying for you, Dawn! Please listen to your body and take it slow. It will take you time to recover. For every day in the hospital you can figure on two days of recovery time at home. I know from experience having spent 5 weeks in the hospital with an immune system disorder.
I will continue to pray for patience and healing. Thanks so much for the update!
Glad you are back ho e in time for Christmas!! Healing takes a loooong time, but at least you are alive. Good to have a smart hubby around too! Lol
Merry Christmas and Happy and blessed New Year ?
Dear Dawn, you are proof that miracles happen my dear. God watched over you & is still doing so. So many prayers for your recovery are being answered. Many people love you & want you well. Mostly your family. You absolutely have to do as your doctor’s say. Do not try anything early your body had to heal completely. You have been through way to much in the last few months. Your a strong lady wanting to do things but let it wait. Please concentrate on your health & getting everything healed inside & out. We veryone loves you & we want you back but not until healing is done. Rest & eat healthy & heal completely. So glad your making progress & look forward to you back in front of the camera in the future. Much love & prayers
Such good news, please just take your time to heal. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

So happy you are home. I think we heal better when we are home with our loved ones and in our own beds. You may have a while more to heal completely but you can do it. God is good and when I was dealing with cancer I put it in his hands and kept a positive attitude. Let your hubby and mom tend to you for now and you’ll be back to yourself soon. Hope you have a blessed 2020.
Oh Dawn…Thank you posting this…

Dawn,
After working in the healthcare field for almost 40 years I have to agree with the staff at the hospital. Thank god your husband took you in when he did. I also believe in the power of prayers and I hope that you will get stronger everyday. Do not try to do anything to soon or you will be back in the hospital. Maybe some of the Glitter Queens can come and help you out for awhile.
Gods Blessings to you this Christmas and a wonderful New Year ( I don’t think it can get any worse for you going forward.).
Jean
Praying for you and a speedy recovery. Merry Christmas Dawn!
So pleased to know that you are out of the hospital. When someone asks can they help take them up on it. You need to concentrate on getting better. Merry Christmas to you and your family Dawn. Frightening to think all of that started by just a blister on a toe.
God is good!!
So happy to hear things are turning around for you in the right direction. I would like to wish you and your husband and family a Very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, 2020 will be better than 2019 for you. God Bless
Praise God for keeping you with us, he has special plans for special people and our prayers will continue for a speedy recovery and complete recovery. We miss you and praying you, Richard, Jesse and the family have a blessed and Merry Christmas .
Much love,
Sheila
Get well soon and here is wishing you A very Merry Christmas and a better 2020???❤️❤️❤️???
I am so glad you are home and healing. I’m praying for your speedy recovery. Merry Christmas to you!
Glad to hear that you are doing better and that your dear husband loved you enough to get you the necessary treatment in time. I am going through a similar situation at the wound care center near me. Due to itching, I was first getting calamine wraps with the regular ones over it. Just a warning- they are cold! LOL! And now, I have leg pumps to use. Uncomfortable, since you must sit still for an hour at a time. At least not really painful if you have to use them. I hope that you won’t; but do whatever you have to do to get better!
Dawn, Thank you for the update, Yes, Baby steps. You will get back on your feet! You are a strong , courageous lady! We will continue to pray for a full recovery! We will be here if you need us! Just let us know what you need. And it will get done! God Bless and Merry Christmas,
Get better soon Dawn!
Thank you for letting us know about your progress. I hope you are back on both feet in the new year. Merry Christmas to you and your family. ??
So very glad you are on the mend. God has blessed you so much and all of us who you inspire. You have a devoted husband which we are thankful for. Rest and heal, we will wait faithfully for your bubbly self to return to us. Merry Christmas!
So glad you are home. Rest and enjoy this time with your family. We will all be here when you are back on your feet. You are so blessed to have a wonderful husband. Thank heavens he realize how sick you were. That was a very low blood pressure. Keep the leg elevated that is so important. Keeping you in my PRAYERS that you are back doing what you like soon.
Merry Christmas to you all and a Happy New Year.
To a lovely lady. Thank goodness things are looking up for you . You are so lucky to have such a great husband who obviously cares very much for you. My prayers are going out to you across the miles from Australia. Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Dawn
I had the same thing happen to me and it was not fun, although I did enjoy being waited on in the hospital. The next year, I was back in the hospital with the other leg. Now, I am keeping compression on my legs, hoping this will not happen again. The only pain I had was when they would grab my ankle or leg to help me back in bed and they grabbed the sores.
Hope you get better soon, but in the meantime, take it easy
Hi Dawn just wanted you to know that my prayers are with you for a speedy recovery.
JOYEUX NOEL ET BON RETABLISSEMENT
Praying for you to have a speedy recovery! Looking forward to more videos when you feel up to it 🙂
