Hi all,
Had an update on Julies condition this evening.
She is still in Pinderfields hospital Wakefield,and will be for the foreseeable future.
They have said the initial problem was a serious strain of E-Coli,which led to a lot of abdominal complications,including kidney problems and cists on her liver.In recent days she has put on a small amount of weight and yesterday took her first steps for months,albeit with the aid of a zimmer frame.
She has to go to Leeds on April 14th to see a specialist,but the likely outcome of that is going to be a full Liver transplant,but before that can happen they need to fatten her up and get her strength back.
Sorry its not great news,please keep sending her cards/notes to let her know we are all with her.

MISS JULIE BROWN {IN PATIENT}
PINDERFIELDS HOSPITAL
ABERFORD ROAD
WAKEFIELD
WEST YORKSHIRE/
Thanks all,
Jimbo.

Thanks so much for the update.
Poor Julie! This shouldn't happen to such a lovely, warm and generous person. Julie's birthday is in early March - March 1st I think - so maybe we could all send a greetings card to her? It's a tiny gesture, but maybe would offer her just a tiny bit of happiness?

Jim,thank you for the update.God bless to you and your family and of course to Julie a great friend to many of us on this board for a very long time.

Just heard from Steve - he received a Birthday card this morning from Julie, with a hand-written note. She's tired of being in hospital (over three months now) but she will keep us all informed of her progress through Jimbo. Keep sending cards, she is very grateful for them and all your good wishes
