Our dear Anji, the wife of Larry, whom we lost last year, is in the hospital having a very rough time after a colon resection. A very wicked irony. I learned from her daughter that she had an anastomotic leak post-op and was taken back to the OR for an ostomy and to try to clean things up. It sounds that she may be septic. This evening I learned that she was being taken back to the OR again. I know Anji endeared herself to so many of us during Larry's very difficult time, and thought there would be many here who would want to know, and be thinking about her and sending wishes/prayers in this truly awful and very scary time.

Re: News about Anji (Larry's wife)
Bev,
Thank you for posting this. Do you know why she had a colon resection in the first place? You didn't say....just praying that it wasn't for cancer. Do you have any more news on her condition?
She had to endure so much during Larry's illness....she doesn't need this now on top of everything else. Will keep her and the family in my thoughts and prayers.
