Mary Hollomon
*Update*

02/19/06

Kevin and all the 911 Cares Staff:

I cannot thank you enough for the 911 Cares activation for Mary Hollomon and the gifts that you sent to Mary and our dispatch staff. She said yesterday that everyone who comes into her room loves her 911 Cares bear.

Here is the latest update on Mary:

Mary is in the hospital for the third time since December. At last report, she was home recuperating after they had decided she had renal failure. She was home for about one week before being readmitted.

The good news is that she is no longer considered to have renal failure. Instead, she has been diagnosed with "Shortened Bowel Syndrome," a condition affecting most people who have had 50% or more of their small bowel removed. The condition leads to severe dehydration mimicking renal failure because food and liquids are expelled so quickly that no nutrition or hydration has time to be absorbed in the body. They have started giving her injections to help slow the process, and she is getting better.

The bad news is that she had a gall bladder attack during her stay, and she had to have gall bladder surgery last Monday. She is doing so much better, but today she had been in the hospital 3 weeks on this stay alone. She hopes to go home today.

We are very anxious to have her back at work. She is such an integral part of our operations, and we miss her.

Thanks again to you and everyone who is sending their thoughts and wishes for Mary!

Respectfully,

Sherri Hanna, Executive Director
Lori Cox, Assistant Director
Nancy Morrison, Dispatcher
Lee Ann Lewis, Dispatcher
David "Little Fish" Fisher, Dispatcher
Brandy Davis, Dispatcher
