Say Prayers for a friend in the hospital for a shunt revision please!

Hello all
One of our "followers" to our SW PA group here, Jenn Bechard unfortunately messaged me Saturday and said her shunt hadn't been feeling right & that she wanted to avoid the emergency room at ALL costs & Hopefully make it until Monday A.M. so she could head STRAIGHT to her Neurosurgeon. WELL she DID make it until this morning. 
No one has been updated on her status (as of yet) on whether she's gone into surgery or not - etc.  I'm sure her mother or boyfriend WILL get a post out to us on FaceBook or her website letting us know how she is :)

I've been worried sick about her (although she IS an old pro at this, I want to say this is SOMETHING like her 88th Surgery in her lifetime!) so SHE probably isn't even as worried as I am LOL
But I look up to her SO much, she is a HUGE "spread the word about Hydro" kinda gal, and I know that NOTHING means more to her than the others out there with Hydrocephalus, and the Hydro Association "community" in general. Not to mention a GREAT friend to have when you need someone to talk or vent to. :)

So with ALL of that being said PLEASE everyone say an extra Prayer for her tonight!  I'm SURE she will do just fine but some extra prayers NEVER hurt right?? ;D

& LASTLY, please don't forget to keep spreading the word about our NEW Pittsburgh / SouthWestern PA Hydrocephalus Organization!! My GOAL is to round up a good SOLID 10-20  people through-out theese winter/Holiday months & to hold our first actual Meeting AS SOON as I get that "Solid" group of people (which will hopefully be by the beginning of Spring 2010 - but sooner is NO PROBLEM w/ me!)

We have MANY ideas of things to do AT our meetings, one of the first ones we'd like to do a "friends & families meet & greet" kind of "unformal" thing, as well as going to the extent of having meetings at the NEW Children's Hospital in Pittsburgh & hopefully getting a Neurosurgeon and / or a Neurologist to Speak.

I also have some "activities" planned for during the meetings - I promise, I WILL NOT let you guys down! ;D  I JUST have to get the people FOR the group! so, HELP!! :(  LoL!

Looking forward to making many new friends! Whether they be IN my area or not, I LOVE making friends w/ people from ALL OVER either WITH Hydrocephalus, or parents of Children with it ( like myself for example)

Many ways to contact me!  Leave a comment after ANY of theese posts, or visit my OTHER, more personal blog about my Daughter with Hydro, Cerebral Palsy, & Epilepsy and her daily activities, as well as struggles, at http://andreajunelleb.wordpress.com/

Looking forward to talking with you soon!
