i am not greek, and they are very old fashioned. the reason why we were married was because she was pregnate and i am the father. its not that her family dosen't like me it is because i am not greek. and a "investor" in her fathers business is well ummm..."connected" so he sent over his "workers" to protect his investments family. eventhough i did nothing wrong

well tomorrow morning gia is getting tubes installed in her lungs to help drain the fluid that has been building up. the doctors say that with the tubes in they can use a camera to look inside the lungs to monitor them closer.

[jdmfreak]

the doctor has arrived on sunday. he is here to make a determination if they can help or not. he is to also determine if what she has is contageous. is she isn't there is a possibility that they will accept the adoption to australia. but full residency will take about 6 months to go thru. and i don't think she can live with 6 months without medical care.

[jbanach77]

gia's surgery was a sucess, they put in the tubes and drained a substantial amount of fliud, the doctors said. a hour after the turbes were in place her temperature dropped fast below 100 degrees for the first time in a while. the australian doctor recommended we do the surgery, and the doctor at the hospital agreed with his phylosppy on the procedure. tomorrow they will be putting a camera into her lungs to better determine the extent of her condition.

[jdmfreak]

Well thats good to hear. Now lets pray that even better news will come.

[jbanach77]

thats great Jimmy just hang in there man thing will get better. We are still here for you.

i keep trying to find the magazine we talked about, country market. maybe you and i could talk more on it and possibly respond to a ad in the magazine.

[jbanach77]

my wife and i were allowed to stay overnight at the hospital cause we wanted to spen time with gia on christmas. and we left about 8a.m. the 26th. we had a wonderful christmas no matter what circumstances were. they upped her midication for her liver due to the fact that her blood was becoming more toxified again. her lungs are still under extreme watch and on a lung machine.

[jdmfreak]

Hmmm jb I see you're posting on NICO a lil more. So whats the news on the Austrailia thing?

[jdmfreak]

Doh my bad I didnt read the posts up there. So my new question is are you gonna go with the whole residency thing and is there a way that you can get the doctors to come here to help your daughter/

[jbanach77]

well there is a physician who is here determining if she is contageous or not. and he as ruled that out. the australian medical community told our legal representation that by the first weekend in feb we should have a final decision wether or not they will accept the adoption. as soon as the papers are accepted they take complete medical care over. and that includes the flights to australia. it is a 85% chance that it will take place. so we are keeping our fingers crossed.

[jdmfreak]

Thats good to hear. Im hoping for the best. Good luck and just keep us posted on any new news.

[jbanach77]

all this week we have been talking with our representation in australia about what will happen. we learned about 3 days ago that she will be leaving for australia sometime before feb 28.

the money raised will go to her medical bills that were accumulated and whatever is left over will be donated to liver and lung organizations for infants.

[jdmfreak]

Thats good to hear. What exactly are they goin to do to her.

[jbanach77]

she will recieve free mediacl care. their donor list is on a need basis, rather than a number basis. because she needs a liver so badly she will be amongst the first to recieve a liver.

[jdmfreak]

And what are they gonna do to her lungs?

[jbanach77]

they are going to take care of her lungs as well, but if she dosen't have a liver transplant in the next 12-18 months things could tke a serious turn for the worse

[jdmfreak]

Oh ok. Just curious...Who's funding this. The docs from Australia?

[jbanach77]

medical care for australian residents is free for all. and tinas grandmother is a australian resident and has taken the right to adopt gia so she can get health care

[jdmfreak]

Oh well Thats great news. When's she leavin. I take it you're sleepin better now a days.

[jbanach77]

yeah i sleep a little better, but she is not in the clear by a long shot

she leaves sometime before feb 28

[jdmfreak]

Thats good. Cuz your daughter is gonna need a healthy father when she gets better.
