Has anyone heard from Janus Ascending? For those of you

[japple]

who connect with her on facebook, has she been around lately. The last thing she posted was in mid-Dec. when she was scheduled for lots of tests. January is "her" month, and I've been wondering how she's doing.

[Cleita]

1. Me too wondering what's going on with her. I knew she was

getting more tests and she never checked back.

3. We received the following information from JA's daughter when we asked about her.

(I feel that it's OK to post it here because JA posted the details of her situation many times, and her daughter provided the information to us so that it could be communicated to her friends. There is nothing here that would compromise her identity in this public forum.)

This is what her daughter told us on January 7th when we asked if JA was OK.

My mother is in the hospital - she went in a few days before Christmas, was discharged a day or two before Christmas and was then admitted to a different hospital the day of New Years Eve. Her condition has gotten just a bit worse - severe weakness in her extremities, nausea, difficulty eating and swallowing. They've run some tests but we don't have any results yet. She may be released to a local nursing home today for rehab.

I let her know that you and others were concerned and that brightened her spirits. Overall, she's doing well at the moment. It's just very frustrating not knowing the cause of the ailments.

I'm not certain if she'll have internet access at the nursing home so please, feel free to check in with me if you don't hear from me - things are a bit hectic at the moment :-)

12. UPDATE on January 21st from her daughter

My mother is in a nursing home nearby for rehab and that seems to be going well. We're still waiting for some test results but she has been diagnosed with lyme disease which explains a lot. She's taking antibiotics now so hopefully we'll see some of the symptoms alleviated soon.

Thank goodness they finally found this.

[MorningGlow]

14. WOW!

Lyme disease! And it took them this long to discover it? And she's in CONNECTICUT? Saying nothing...saying nothing...

Anyway, yes, it's good they finally figured it out. It's been SO LONG! And hey, didn't someone here suggest Lyme disease way back when--?

Thanks again for doing this, Dream. Send her our best. :grouphug:

[I Have A Dream]

15. Yes, Tess49 mentioned it...

[Tess49]

32. Yes, I knew immediately that she had Lyme's disease. I was disappointed

that she seemed to believe that testing would be difficult to obtain, or would be unreliable. I didn't feel like I had any right to push it, though. When I saw this update on her I thought "Well, They (my guides) tried to tell us. Sorry it took so long to officially figure it out. It has been 6 months since that first thread!

Edited for spelling and so I could babble some more.

[murielm99]

17. Thank you for telling us, Dream.

Let her know that I am thinking about her, too.

Lyme disease! Now that they know what it is, it can be treated and will be less scary. It is so great that they found out what it is.

[rumpel]

16. Thank you Dream

Please also give my Hugs, Love & Light to JA..

18. Most recent information about JanusAscending.

As stated above, her daughter informed us that JA has been diagnosed with Lyme Disease. She just told me the following:

"We've recently received another diagnosis: small cell lung cancer. She'll be undergoing additional testing to determine how far it has - or hasn't - progressed. We really need your prayers. And thank you so much for staying in touch and letting her know that you're all here for her. It means so much to her."


If you would like to send a card to her, you may contact either MorningGlow or me for the address.

:cry:

(On edit: I received permission from her daughter to give the full details here in this public area.)

[Digit]

31. I've been working on her every night

As I head up the stairs for bed these days, I say, I've got to work on Janus.
I don't have a method, I just wing it doing what feels "right" and visualize at the end she is smiling, happy, and energized.

We miss her here very much.
:hug: :hug:

33. (((( JanusAscending ))))

I really hope she is getting good medical care. All of my thoughts will be focused on "inspiring" her healthcare providers to do their best.

[I Have A Dream]

34. Most recent information in reference to JA's health situation....

From her daughter:

She was sent to one hospital with pneumonia, then she was intubated, then she was sent to another hospital because it was suspected that she has a rare autoimmune issue that first hospital wasn't equipped to handle. So. She does, indeed have an autoimmune disorder - they're diagnosed Myasthenia Gravis. However, my sister and I are absolutely convinced that it's Lambert Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome. At the moment, it really doesn't matter either way as the treatment for both is the same. She's receiving a high dose of steroids for about a week and she'll receive plasmaphonesis to rid her system of the antibodies. She's been undergoing "breath tests" to wean her from the vent - she was off for about 30 minutes yesterday - and when I spoke to the nurse today, she said she may be able to come off permanently today or tomorrow. Also, she had an MRI of the brain and of the lower lumbar area - no evidence of any metastatic tumors. We're happy to hear all of this - the autoimmune diagnosis will give her some relief to all of the problems she's been having (I think the lyme test was a false positive) and will hopefully make her strong enough to begin receiving treatment for the cancer. Whew.

[elleng]

35. Whew indeed.

What they've been thru.

Thanks, I Have.

36. Latest information from JA's daughter...

she's out of the hospital and in a different nursing home for rehab. she had her first round of chemo and did great. she's able to pull herself up in bed and she's getting stronger every day. and her attitude is great - very positive. she asked that i let you (and everyone else know) that she's felt your prayers and positive thoughts and to keep them coming :-) she may have what looks like some sort of web tv in her room and the last time i was there, i'd asked the nurse to look into hooking it up for her. so, you might see her online sometime soon!

I really think that our prayers and energy are helping. It also has to help for her to know that we're thinking of her and that we care about her -- that we haven't forgotten about her.

:grouphug:

[Sweet Freedom]

37. Thank you for the update IHAD

I am so glad to hear she finally has a proper diagnosis and treatment. That must be a wonderful relief for her. Hopefully, she is on the path to recovery. She and her daughter are in my thoughts. :hug:

[OneGrassRoot]

38. Thanks so much, IHAD....

I agree, and I'm so glad she is doing better!

:grouphug:

[Delphinus]

39. Thank you!

:hug:

This is really a wonderful way to start the month of March. :grouphug:

[I Have A Dream]

40. I think that it will do her a world of good if she's able to get back on-line.

Her feeling isolated is not the best thing for her right now. I hope that they're able to set it up for her so she can be back with us.

[NuttyFluffers]

41. oh thank goodness, that's good to hear.

sending the good juju onto the ethertubes.

:7 :grouphug:

[I Have A Dream]

43. I LOVE "ethertubes"!

:yourock:

[MorningGlow]

42. H'ray!

So glad to hear it. Thanks for the update, Dream! Will continue sending light...

[Mnemosyne]

44. Still sending prayers and energy to JA. A rough row to hoe indeed.

:grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

I agree that getting back online would lift her spirits. Isolation isn't good when you are so ill. Hope she is up to it very soon. :grouphug:

[I Have A Dream]

45. Yes, and she really enjoys interacting with everyone here.

This group is a big part of her support system, so to be away from here for so long has to be difficult for her. (I can completely relate.)

It will be great to have her back. :)

[Mnemosyne]

46. I am so glad to know it is all helping her. I would be lost without the

energy I receive here, even when only able to read. I will keep sending for this dear lady! :grouphug:

Hi JA! Hope you will be feeling much better and up to posting again soon. You are very loved and much needed here. :grouphug:

[I Have A Dream]

47. Awwww.... Mnemosyne, you're such a sweetheart!

I'm sure that she can feel your gift to her every time you send.

:loveya:
