Update from the hospital

Okay people I am still in the hospital and thank you so much for your well wishes and prayers. They still don't know why my WBC is so low and the numbers are not coming up. My doctor came in today and is ordering me an MRI scan for my back since it's killing me. That is attributing to nausea. They just gave me an anti-nausea med and will be taking something for the pain later. I again asked the doctor an ETA on when I would be able to head home but he is still concerned that I had a low grade fever thru the night. Fever equates to no going home

BUT I am trying to keep my chin up and wanted to let you know that hubby finally brought me my laptop so I am online off and on. Thanks again for all the prayers and thoughts. It means the world to me. Love you all.

Thoughts and prayers being said for you, your family and for the doctors for wisdom in finding out what is wrong with you. I do hope you start feeling better soon. (((gentle hugs)))

p.s. pain meds are wonderful little pills : )

Beth,
Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. I think the fursterating part is not knowing why my infection is not clearing up despite being treated by 2 different kinds of powerful antibiotics. AND I agree those pain meds are wonderful...

Hi there - its so good to see a post from you! I've (we've) all been so worried about you - Shauna and Shannon have been giving us updates but there's nothing like hearing right from you. Hospitals suck - no doubt about it - but you have to get better first - don't pu**** - let them make sure you are as close to 100% as possible before going home, or you'll just end up back in there. And hey, relax and enjoy this time away from the m-i-l!! See, there is a sunny side to everything!!

Sending big hugs and many, many prayers your way to get well soon...we miss you!!

Hi Kathy,
I am sorry I missed your text but my phone was not charged but I am trying to keep my chin up and trying to look at the bright side. Hopefully this is the kick in my ass I needed to take care of me for a change. Thanks again for all your thoughts and prayers....

Lesley,
Thank you so much for the prayers and the hugs. I need them and what can I say about this extended family? I am so speechless at people's kindness. I am hoping we find the answers we are looking for today.
