Diary 2010

 

27th of July 2010
Since two days it is so much better with Puschels infection. She is able to be outside activ a lot. It is necessary to change and to try a little in her pain medication.
Today Puschels sister Esther could finish her studies for a cook at the Bodenseehof with some tests at the school there. That´s real a gift of God for us and so a reason for thanking a lot.
At the last weeks we hat some youth camps here. Now we have some time to rest a little bit. If it´s stabil with Puschel she is planning a ride to Sweden again.
Thank you so much everytime for all your prayer and carry us all!

19th of July 2010
Today we have to remember to the status of Puschel from some days ago:  When  she is getting an infect she is reacting much more than we all. So it is just now. She is not able to walk like on the picture above through the corn fields but she is laying in the long wheel chair - if it´s  possible outside under a blanket in the shadow of a tree...
So we´re  glad much more that God preserved her a long time before. Her blood  status is okay, so we have not to be anxiously. But we pray that there  will not fixing an infect in her lungs. It could be dangerous even  though. Thank you for your prayer!!

14th of July 2010
Best news of this week: Puschel was able to take out the last port needle (we hope the last one for a long time or better for ever) She was able to change her whole medication, therefore she takes onle tablets and nothing through the port anymore. Our prayer is that she will never need a chemo therapy to something like that again and that her pain will reduce more and more.
Other than that nothing has changed. She still has days where she can only lay in her Salvadorian hammock, but in general she is doing very well.
Thank you for your faithful prayers. May God bless you richly.

8th of July 2010
The Appointment of the next tests in Berlin is fixed. It is the 25th of August. So Puschel will get a CT from her lungs and a MRI from her pelvis.
Our prayer is that God will limited the cancer cells in her tumor (area).
With som better and some not so good moments Puschel can be activ. By the pictures you see allmost the better moments. But you know that there are also the others. But from theses times we have normally not so many pictures...
Now Puschel was able to reduce the daily dosis of morphin in a minimal level. Puschel hopes to bring these level to zero in the next two weeks. So she will need not longer the port system. These is a relly good gift of our Lord, cause the risk of infections can be reduced a lot.

2th of July 2010
At the moment the feeling of Puschel is a little bit changeable. Sometimes she has inexplicable pain or problems with her stomic. But she is allways as much as possible activ to be not for a longer time in her bed. Presently we have a soccer camp in our church. So Puschel likes to be with the englsih people. You can see it by the pictures above.

Today she was as a translator with the soccer camp team in a scool in the near of Bülow. Now she is with them at the soccer field where just now  the gospel message comes to the soccer kids.
Additional Puschel is allways busy with painting. You will see here some results of that.
So we´re glad for each day what gives the Lord. Presently we´re in prepairing the next MRI and CT tests in the middle of August. At these time it can be in Berlin. The result will be analyzed after in Heidelberg  .

21th of June 2010
We have the test results from Heidelberg finally. But nothing new was said to us about the tumor. The only thing what was unknown: The doctors saw on the MRI that Puschel´s skin around the tumor is very thin. That means that if the skin gets hurt, it could cost big problems in the healing process of the skin. The swelling above the tumor is water which is not to big deal as long as the skin is fine. But if the skin is hurt it could cost big problems such like infection or that the skine won´t grow together anymore. The reason for the consistency of the skin is probably the radiation therapy. Therefore Puschel can still do what ever she enjoys and is able to do, but has to be even more careful than before. If you would like, you could pray for safty. It is good for her to be aktive (Imunsystem, training of the Muscles...) We are grateful for your care! Thank you!

Second of June 2010
We´re still happy for each day when Puschel can live normal in the normal life arround.
At the last night Puschel had to fight strong against an idiocratical nausea. It´s not to say where from it comes. But all in all Puschel is doing well.
There is one thing what is making us some concerns. The consistance of the tumor is indefinable. Over the tumor area it seem that there agglomerate a lot of fluidity. We hope and pray that it will not be some fluidity from her spinal cord but only normal agglomerated water. Otherwise it could be very dangerous. We hope to get more informations by the results of the MRI tests from the last week. We will inform you so soon as possible.
Tomorrow Puschel wants to ride with us to the 85th birtday of her grandmom in Dresden... Hope it will be possible for her...
 

24th of May 2010
How you can see by the pictures here Puschel had a lot of contacts at the last days. She needed a lot of energy but she had also a lot of fun! You see Puschel has also a lot of friends here in Aidlingen. These youth conference had about 8000 young people. Lucky that Puschel hadn´t to talk with all of them...
Now tomorrow we have an important appointment in Heidelberg. At 9:30 a.m. she has to gat an MRI and other tests. Also she has a talk in the pain therapeutic clinic.
Will look if we will get resutlts soon. Puschel sad before that she is excitedly wich present God has for her 27th birthday on the 27th of May...
We will let you now all important news. It is very important if God will put  the cancer out of her body. So she could be able to look forward for make studies as one of the next steps. But all the next steps are depend of the results... Will pray for good results. Thank you for your prayer with us!!! Puschel is able to walk big distances (with a lot of pain or a lot of medicine). But all the next steps are in the hands of our Lord! How good to live in Gods big amazing family!
We will keep you informed!

The last Newsletter from Puschel (please click on the letters)

13th of May 2010
At the moment we havn´t really news about Puschel. She is going forward with changing her pain medication regime. She wants to be more and more independent to her port system. With help of a pain clinic in Heidelberg she is finding out wich alternative ,edicine is good for her daily life. We´re thankfull for these possibility. Puschel is enjoying each new day here at home in the nature of spring. She is waiting patience for the next tests in Heidelberg in the end of May.
Before she wants to go with us to a big youth conference in the pentecost time.

10th of May 2010
You can see: Puschel is doing well.
She has enough energy for riding to Sweden with her brother. She has enough power too for going with her friends to the Baltic Sea and a riding farm there...
So the waiting time will be a little bit shorter...
Now it will be important that the cancer cell are not longer able to grow.
Therefore it need still a miracle of our Lord! Thank you for staying still in prayer with us for that. But it is allready a miracle that Puschel has still power and joy and peace in her heart.

20th of April 2010
At the last week was a friend from our church, Annelie, back home for some days. Yesterday she had to go back to Sweden to the torchbearers bible school in Holsby. So Puschel rapiddecided to go together with her and her brother Silas. She wants to stay there for a week now. On Monday they will come back home. In Holsby Puschel enjoy very much the heartily fellowship there. In Holsby is a lot of friends who are staying in prayer for Puschel.
Puschel is doing right well - in view of all circumstances. She has less side effects from the long radiations time. At the moment Puschel is chenging her pain medication. She wants to leave out the port system using. She wants to mimimize the risk of infection by the port.

10th of April 2010
Now all things are different: Puschel is back home!
In the night to Friday we drove to the Bodenseehof in Southern Germany. There we wanted to pick up Puschels sister Esther and to rode together home.
We´re very thankfull for all possibilities in the last weeks! But nothing is more and better than to can be home...!
Many thank to you all for your graet support in prayer and some encouragements per phone or email. Sometimes Puschel got visits from friends and even phones from Sweden..
Now we have to wait and to look what is going on and what are the results of all the radiations. All in all we want to trust in our Lord!
In the end of May we have an appointment in Heidelberg for a new test by MRI.

------------------------------------------------
On the 15th of April Linda will get the surgery. It is planned to puttingh out her scapula. How it will be exactly with her arm is not right clear.
Please pray for
wisdom for the doctors and a good success (it´s the same doctor who made Puschels surgery 2007)
keeping her arm for sure to can use it in a few time again.
her family to give Linda a good background
healing of her wounds (the area where she got radiation has problems normally with healing
enough power and energy for Linda for carrying the resalts of the surgery.
Now started allready preparing time for the suergery
Thank you for asking about her and praying for! god bless you!

 

second of April 2010
For tomorrow is planned the penultimate radiation. Because it is Saturday before Easter it will be earlier than normal - 8:00 a.m. So we have to stand up at 6:00 ... But after  Puschel has time to rest. Also at the next Easter days. On Tuesday is planned the last therapy step. On Wednesday we have an appointment in the pain ambulance clinic and the last talk with Puschels radiation therapists.

All in all Puschel is doing well. She is much tired very often. But she has time to rest enough.

first of April 2010
Now are the last days for the whole therapie. On the Saturday Puschel has also a therm of radiation. Her presently feeling is in these circumstanceses right well. Hope she can finish the therapy without new comlications in the week after Easter. We will keep you informed also in the last time. At these time each day has his own burdens...

26th of March 2010
Now Puschel has a new port system. It was doing right well!
Puschel had a strong day with her mom Eva-Maria. First she had  the planned radiation. At the lunch time she had the first surgery for taking out the old port system. Than she had a break with an antibiotic drop against possibly infections in these old area. The old system was growing very close in her skin. About 3:00 p.m. she had the second surgery for putting in the new system. We´re thankful that all things went well. Now we hope that Puschel will be able to concentrate again for the normal therapy in the last about 10 days.
However, we will keep you informed for all news we have.

25th of March 2010
Now it is a little bit diffuse. Yesterday Puschel got a CT in her pelvis. But the results shows an idiocratical thing. The tumor was growing, we don´t know how much. But the consistance of the tumor is different. It is more fluid and more soft than before.
The doctors are indecisive what should be the conclusion. They changed the radiation (area and intensity) for the next time. But it seems that they don´t know how it can go on.
Please pray for wisdom for the doctors and that the cancer has to go away.
The other thing: On Friday Puschel will get a new port system if she is free of an infection. It is also a surgery what Puschel has to handle additional to the normal radiation. First she has the radiation, than - about 12:00 a.m. surgery.

22th of March 2010
10:00 p.m. - Good news of the day: In Puschels lungs wasn´t found any metastasis! They´re clean!! that´s the result of the tests from about 10 days ago.
Tomorrow Puschel will get a new CT from her pelvis to look if any things are changed there. You will get all news when we will have them!

On Monday Puschel wants to get the results of a test with the CT of her lungs. we hope so that the test will show that there are not metastasis. You know how important it is.
Additional she will get a new status of (possibly) infections in her port system.
Furthermore she has her daily radiation too.
Cause Puschel will get a radiation on Saturday before Easter the end of the whole therapy will be on Wednesday after Easter.

18th of March 2010
Puschel Today we can inform you that presently Puschel has not longer fever. Until Monday she has to wait. The doctors wants to be sure before they can chenge the port. These is only possible (to take out the old one and put in even a new thing) if there is not an acute infection inside. So we hope that it will be until Monday without an infection.
All the other things are like before. It is a long time now. But the “Game is over soon”... But it needs a lot of energy. Sometimes Puschel has not too much... But these is normal, I guess.
So thanks that you´re with Puschel at these long time!!!

12th of March 2010
Puschel has still some power. Not ever a lot but ever enough. It is presently a little bit slow-moving with all things. The temerature is not able to decide where it wants to go... So Puschel is much weak often. And she has not enough energy to write an eMail or to paint a little bit. Sometimes it is a test for Puschels patience...
On Monday she has an appointment again in the surgery hospital. They want to check the status of infections. It would be really good if these will finish. so Puschel could concentrate for the normal therapy.
So so many thanks to you all those are praying for puschel or writing a letter. And somebody of you gave us even a financial support. We´re only able to thank you and to say: God bless you all! You´re rally an encouragement for us all!!

8th of March 2010
At the moment Puschel is doing very changeable. It is going forward and back with the fever. The fever is not away. It is coming and going, so it is difficult to say where from it comes.
Today Puschel got a different antibiotic medicine. It has to work not only in the port system but also arround by her blood.

It is amazing that Puschel is supported by a lot of people. All the doctors are very understanding in view of her pain and the port and other things. Even she has a friendly female family doctor who is giving her the necessary medicine and all staff for that. Now the days are filled with a lot of things and waiting in different hospitals. Additional to the normal planned radiation they have to look wherefrom the fever is coming. We hope and pray that Puschel can get a new port system soon and the fever is going away.
On Wednesday she has the next appointment in the surgery clinic.

6th of March 2010
Puschel was concerned about an infection on the port, becaue of the feaver. And that is what the doctors diagnosed today.
The fever which started on Thuersday is coming and going. Puschel is feeling  is weak a lot, that´s normal, but all in all well.
Today the daily radiation is over. (Always at 12a.m) Now Puschel has a meeting with the surgeon to think about what to do in these situation. We hope that it will be possible to put in a new port system without staying in the hospital. Normaly it is possible, but not with an infection...
Now Eva-Maria, Puschels mom ist staying with her in Heidelberg and Mutterstadt. Today we got a nice visit from Christian, Puschels cousin. Now I´m on the way home with Silas and friend Maria. They were riding with Eva-Maria here.

Third of March 2010
The first steps of the new radiation with photons are over. May be we have to see now some side effects. the tumor area is much irritate and little discolored.
Today in the morning at 5:30 we got a scare. Puschel came from her bed with a temperature of 38,7°C. So we have to take care a lot. But now we  had only the possibility to pray and to wait. With morphin against the strong daily morning pain Puschel was able to sleep until 9 a.m.
Than we took the temperature again. It was about 37,7°C.
God gave Puschel the necessary stillness. Later in the hospital Puschel got some tests. The doctors wanted to see wherefrom the temperature is. Tomorrow we will see more.
It is good for us that the doctors are taking the things seriously. But they have enough experiences. So they are much relaxed.
We´re really glad about the great affability here.
From Friday on Puschel has her Mum here. She will stay for about two weeks.
Now Puschel can go from Mutterstadt to Heidelberg (about 30 km) by a taxe. So they van live more relaxed with all.
Please pray that Puschel will be exempted from infectiones. And please pray that the therapy will have much results without much side effects. Thank you so much!

27th of February 2010
The heavy ions therapy is over!
By the pictures you can see how the whole thrapy is planned. Above left you see the visible parts of the tumor (the white blobs in the green area). That is the area for the directly heavy ions radiation. All the other parts (with yellow, blue and red lines) are much endangered parts. there the doctors assume some cancer cells. But they are not cells of a firm tumor
Because they are not to localize. so they are not to eliminate by the heavy ion radiation.
For them is the photon radiation with a much less dosis per day. Threrefore it will endure so much longer than the heavy ion therapy. It is a complete plan with a dosis on the highest limit for radiations.

Please pray with us for not so much side effects in the next time.
Until now Puschel is doing well. But the side effects are to expect at the earliest in the next weeks.

24th of February 2010
“Today we want to ask you for praying that a right treatment in Heidelberg will be possible for Puschel. We had contct with the hospital in Berlin. But there we got less hope for these in the next time. It seems that it is a question of capacity in the absolut new facility. May be they can not treat enough patients in a too short time. Today these device was started in Heidelberg. It is the only one in Europe now. In the night we saw it in the tv news... It seems that it is the only option for Puschel at this moment. Therefore we expect from our Lord to give us these possibility soon. He is able to open for us a door and a way to get it.
Apparently there are only in USA such devices. But may be that our insurance will not go with and pay for that. But our Lord has options enough...!
However we will use all humanly possibilities to get these treatment for Puschel.
It would be great if you want to pray with us for good results in searching a way or another miracle for Puschels healing. Thank you for all!!”

These Sentences we had here in November 2009. Even now I´m sitting here in the HIT while Puschel is laying on her plank bed to get just now the heavy ions against the cancer cells...
We have a great God! And we can trust HIM for all things and give HIM all our confidence! We want to do that. Although it isn´t all understandably fo us what HE is doing but HE is God and so trustworthily alone in all things.
Presently I can´t use my normal computer. Therefore you see here only a not normal page. But I want to inform you a little until the week end. Then I will have the other one again.
Puschel is doing much changeable with Nausea and tiredness and pain. But she is fighting through and nevertheless undauntedly.
Thank you all for carrying her!

22th of February 2010
It is good to know that God is not depend to our feeling or thinking. He is present. It is real a gift that the most modern device for fighting against cancer is available for Puschel.
It is a great gift too to have you all beside her/us as HIS family in our world.
Praise HIM and thanks to you all!
Presently we´re on the Bodenseehof, an english Bibleschool of the torchbearers in Germany wher Puschels sister Esther is living and working. Here we´re for this weekend. We can enjoy the  lectures from Hans-Peter Royer and the felloship of many lovely friends.
Tomorrow we have to go back to Heidelberg for the next step of the  treatment with heavyions.
About 5 p.m. the radiation will start again.
Above you see some pictures from these special impressive technical surroundings there.
The doctors are sure that the heavy ions will be successful! The effects of the whole therapy we are able to see a couple of weeks or month later.
We only can pray that god will set limits the ability of the cancer cells to grow and to divide themself. God is able!

20th of February 2010
May be that some of you are waiting for news about the first therapy with heavy ions.
Duly at 1 p.m. we were in the HIT. First the doctors had to preapare again Puschels position. Also for the doctors here it is an exciting thing. They needed more time for the complete arrangement .
I hope we will show you better and more pictures about all in the next days. Puschel feels nothing from the radiation. may be a lot of time later she will get some side effects.
The doctors started these whole treatment really to kill all cancer cells of the main tumor. So we hope and pray for so good results that the tumor is death after that. It is Gods thing to give them much success. and we´re so glad to know that you all are praying for Puschel.
This “game” is really so much impotant for Puschel!! How good to know that we have a great mighty God!
The doctors are happy that Puschel is so patient and peaceful. But she is alloud to listen her IPod all the time.
Tomorrow she will start again at 1 p.m. The next appointment for us is Thursday. The time we will give you later.

16/18th of February 2010
Now we´re in Bad Blankenburg (Thüringen -  Southern East Germany) for the night. Here is an uncle from Puschel with family. So we can divide our trip to Heidelberg. We had a good ride here today!

In view on the therapy we could get mor informations. The doctors wants to make a combination with heavy ions and photons. It is a choice in only medical view. It is not a question of the capacity of the heavy ion device. I hope to can give you some more informations about these.
On Friday Puschel will have the first of six heavy ion radiations til the other Friday next week. Every day she will get it for an complete hour. It is together with the next steps with photons a radiation on the last limit what is possible to get for a patient. Thank you so much for you prayers. Thank you for your support. Thank you for your love. God bless you!

10th of February 2010
At the moment we´ve not really news for you. In a week we have to start the trip to Heidelberg.
We are praying that the planned schedule of the  therapy is complete right. The planned photon radiation is at the moment not really logical for us. At the last time the doctors in Berlin said us that these kind of radiation isn´t efficient for these sarcoms.
So we want to have a talk before with the doctors to get more informations.
Otherwise we know that they all can not be completely sure about all, because they have not really experiences with that. We´re so thankful for these possibility for Puschel. It allone is a mirakle. So we enjoy in each day to see Puschel here at home!

05th of February 2010
The doctors saw that Puschels tumor was not (so much) growing since the MRI and CT in December. So the think to can be responsable for thdelay in start the radiation. Not good is that the doctors found a few of cancer cells arround the old surgery area . That shows us that the cancer is extended in her pelvis again. Therefore they want to give Puschel a comination of radiation with heavy ions and photons. All these in the highest rated level (about 70 gray, not (like normal) about 50 gray. Additional for one our per day, not (like normal) a few minutes!
Puschel is glad to be at home a little bit longer. So she can enjoy the winter here and rest more.
A problem is the lot of pain in her nervs. We hope a lot that in Puschels pelvis will not destroyed more in these time bevor she can have exoneration by the therapy. In the last two days she had to fight a lot against Nausea.

03th of February 2010
Now we have an appointment with Heidelberg for the radiation therapy, first with heavy ions and later with photons. On February 19th Puschel has the first term of it. It is 14 days later than we thought and the doctors said. It is a question of the capacities in these big new device. The doctors saw that Puschels tumor was not growing since the MRI and CT in December. So the think to can be responsable for that. Not good is that the doctors found a few of cancer cells arround the old surgery area . Therefore they want to give Puschel a comination of radiation with heavy ions and photons. All these in the highest rated level. Addtional for one our per day, not (like normal) a few minutes!
In the other side Puschel is glad to be at home a little bit longer. So she can enjoy the winter here and rest more.
A problem is the lot of pain in her nervs. We hope a lot that in Puschels pelvis will not destroyed more in these time bevor she can have exoneration by the therapy.

30th of January 2010
Unfortunately we don´t know the start point of the therapy in the next week. The doctors are planning the first steps of the heavy ion radiation. The are inserting the pictures from MRI and CT in the computer of the HIT. On Monday we will get more news.
You can imagine that Puschel is not so much happy when she has to think about the next weeks - so far away from home and enduring in a hospital. But we´re really glad and thankful l to have these possibility with these special treatment. We want to pray that God will give good results of it. We will let you know more soon. But now it is very nice that Puschel can enjoy for the next days at home in these very nice winter and the normal live here.

28th of January 2010
Now we´re really back home again (time: 5:20 a.m.) All things were going well. Our God has given us a blessed ride.
Puschel got a lot of really good different test. So exactly tests she had never before. But theses test have to be the basis for the whole therapy. It will be a radiation what is completely controlled by thes pictures, will go by this complete automatically. Probably Puschel has to lay on the abdomen. There and so she will alive a lot of time in the next weeks. Therefore the doctors wanted to find a solution for the problems with laying down Puschel in the divice for these very, extremely exact radiation and in view on her durable pain. Because of the big size of the tumor the therapy will enduring about 6 weeks.

25th of January 2010
Today it was a very nice day with winter, snow and sunshine. You can see it by the pictures above. To drive with the Grizzly on the ice of our lake is even for Puschel real a lot of fun because the ice is nearly complete flat. So you can get such pictures with less speed of the Grizzly... We would wish you to can enjoy our lake here...

Tomorrow we have to prepare for the trip to Heidelberg where we will have an appointment for pictures from Puschel (MRI, CT etc) and talks with the doctors. They have to prepare the start of the therapy in the next week. We hope to be back home in the night to Thursday. Many thanks for yozr thoughts and prayers for Puschel!

22th of January 2010
Usually each day has the own problems. For Puschel it is allways the changable and nor explainable pain in differnet areas of her body.
Three days ago she had to get the normal dosis of her morphin by her port system. It makes her able to participate in her circumstances on the normal life arround.
But suddenly her port what she needs and used since nearly three years was blocked. That mean it would be impossible for her to get her MSI (morphium).
Usually she is getting a new port neadle in about 10 days. On these days she could get a new one. She got it and we hoped it would be clear. But it wasn´t. Three times we had to try it with a new neadle. But the port was still blocked. Now we could only pray for it and call doctors or the hospital.
A last time we wanted to try it under prayer. Suddenly the port was clear. Nobody could explain it. But it is okay.
Praise the Lord! Thank you, Lord! And also you all - for all your prayer!

18th of January 2010
For Puschel it is sooo nice to be at home at these time. She enjoy so much every day. In the next future she has to be for 4 weeks in Heidelberg. So she takes each day as a special gift of God...
Just now she has some problems with pain of her nervs in the healthy leg. It is going pu to a nearly complete deafness. If the nerv is overloaded or the growing tumor is pressing him we don´t know. But it´s not really nice...
Puschel is resting every time a little bit more. The surgery was good but it needs some more time to get power enough and to feel leike before. The wound have to heal. so Puschel is else a little bit weak. But her peace in God and joy to HIM is unbroken. Thank you so much for all your prayer ever and ever!!!

15th of January 2010
Today you get some infos about our appointment in the HIT. On three pages I assembled a description about the therapy in the HIT.
We had a good talk with a doctor in the HIT clinik. And we felt already in the beginning that the therapy will is not in question.
The schedule for the next steps is: on 27th of January we have to go to Heidelberg again for some tests (MRI etc.). With the results of this they will make plans and devices for the therapy and especially for Puschels body. The big porblem is how they can lay down Puschel for one our in the machine every day. It is a question of laying in an absolut stillness. And it´s a question of the pain in Puschels backside. The recidive tumor has growing a lot in the last three month.
So in the next two week they will plan the dosis and the special kind of the radiation.
And by this talk now it is clear: the target  of the therapy is for the doctors not an elimination of the tumor but the target is to destroy the ability of the tumor cells to grow and to make new cells. It is a genetic ruination of the cancer cells, not a mechanic. The big problem here: it is possible that some cells ar arround the big tumor. So it´s not sure to can destroy all cancer cells by the heavy ions. So they have to think about other radiation methods too.
One week after the next appointment in Heidelberg the therapy will start. It will be a therapy for 4 weeks first and one our a day.
So we know: all things are laying in Gods hand. A miracle will not come by the heavyions but only by our Lord. HE has all things in control! But we´re thankful to have these possibilities!

14th of January 2010, 03:00 p.m.
So many thanks for all your prayer. We went back home very well. Tomorrow we will give you some informations about all things with the heavy ion therapy.

13th of January 2010, 03:00 p.m.
About one our ago Puschel was allowed to go home. The agreement in the HIT was very positiv. A detailed report you will get later. Now we have to take 900 km “under the wheels”... Good to know that HE has all things in HIS hands!

 

11th of January 2010
Today we had really a contact to the specialist from the HIT!
Tomorrow should come anybody from there to Puschel to look at her and talk about all possibilities in the next time. We hope it will be really with a good result.
It is not so good that Puschels stomic isn´t still working. It must be change tomorrow!
All in all Puschel is doing well. She is thinking about to go home...

There we have a soo nice winter weather... and we are here in Southern Germany...

10th of January 2010
Nice to see that Puschel is much more stabil after the surgery. The problem at these time is that her digestion is working not so good again. So Puschel has much more pain by ths now. Hope that it will be better soon. she needs some exoneration in that.

Today Puschel is doing much better than yesterday! You can see it by the picture on the left side. So we can hope that the wounds will heal soon and we can look forward. It would be great if you will pray that we have a good progress on Monday with the planned heaviontherapy.

So thanks for all your prayers and asking for Puschels status. Also that you are looking on these page ever and ever. It is real a gift for us and a miracle of the family of God!

Today in the morning Puschels status and feeling was not so gut. Already in the night Puschel came into her normal room because there ist is more quiet.
These first day after the surgery was filled with searching the best pain killer medication. The people are very engaged. But the specialists for pain managements said that there are sometimes situations what you have the first time in the life. They have never seen a patient like Puschel... But they wanted to help Puschel in her special situation... In the night Puschel was doing better a lot. so I hope that she will sleep well and it will be normalized the whole situation in the next days.

10:45 p.m.
By the pictures you can see: The surgery is over!
About 01:30 p.m. Puschel had to start the preparation.
Actually I should get a call from the doctors to hear how it was going. But I´m still waiting... In the end (about 6:30 p.m.) I asked the nurses... 7:30 p.m I could go to Puschel in the intensiv medical care area. Puschel was ther since about an hour. She was doing right well. But the doctors had some problems with the whole “pain regime”. Because Puschel had to get a lot of pain killers before, it was not so easy for them to modify the new necessary quantity. May be tomorrow Puschel can go in the normal hospital room.
Now we hope and pray that we can look forward to a fast beginning of the heavy ion therapy.

So many thanks for all your prayers and all your support. May God bless you all!

Today Puschel got a great encouragement: She had a free day before the beginning of the surgery tomorrow. 3 friends from Holsby who were in Christmas vacation in Germany, Rebekka, Eli & Charly came from Southern Germany to visit her here in Heidelberg. They had to ride a real long way.
So it was a very nice afternoon with fine meals together and good talks and prayers.
Up to 8:00 p.m. Puschel schould come into the hospital. She was! But God gave her a special gift - she can stay for the last night before the surgery in the house of friends. It´s an additional joy for Puschel.
About the next steps you will keeped informed of course.

Who ist trustful in the LORD,
can proclaime, "The LORD is upright;
HE is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him."               Psalms 92:16

Yesterday we left to go to Heidelberg (Puschel and me-Puschels dad) We had a stop in Mittle of Germany at one of my brothers house. (Puschel´s uncle Reinhard) Now we are safly in Heidelberg. Today we had the talks about the surgery with the doctors. The date for the surgery and the doctor are set. (Thursday about 1 p-m) It was good to have a talk to the surgent who is in charge of the surgeon. So we have more informations for the surgery on Thursday.

We will have a break in Bad Blankenburg in the middle of Germany. On Thuesday we will continue our trip to Heidelberg. there I will give you all news about the developments.
Now Puschel get new medicine again the pain in her nervs. We hope she will get more deep sleep. That was the biggest problem at the last time.

Today we want to give you a song. That was written by Puschels cousin Magdalena Holmer in Bad Blankenburg about her. She is singing it with her band
Puschels status is unchanged. She has more and more pain. so it is time to do anything. But we´re very glad that Puschel can be here for this Christmas time!!
We´re grieving a little bit because of the status of Linda. News of her you can read below.

what's to write about your story?
helpless i think about words to say
your eyes, your smile - wonderful, marvellous
there seems to be fire not from the earth!

fallen, broken, but still so strong!
running, fighting, but still full of love
smashed, exhausted, again and again!
praying, hoping you stay with joy!

you say, its okay, if you'd have to leave
but you'd also like to stay
i hardly can ever express
what that means to me!

fallen broken, but still so strong!
runnning, fighting, but still full of love
smashed, exhausted again and again!
praying, hoping you stay with joy!

you deeply impressed me like so many people!
you will be surprised in heaven,
how many people you've touched!
the peace that you talk about- i feel it even through your mails!
the joy in you comes from heaven!

a star in the night, bright and wonderful
your light shines in the darkness!
shine oh shine
with eternal fire!
HIS fire shall warm you
shall save your heart
through all this!
