Day 312
Again, your prayers mean the world to me. They gave her a stress dose of hydrocortisone and her blood pressure has somewhat stabilized, still much lower than her normal but at least stable and not continuing to drop. We switched around two antibiotics, so she is now on Vancomycin and Timentin. They stopped her feeds and are now giving her Tylenol to control the high fevers. It is working. She does go back up but at least they are coming down for awhile. She has had 103-104's for days. She is getting blood again and has needed several transfusions of platelets. She has been mostly resting comfortably which is a huge blessing. Thank you, Jesus. She does get aggrivated and cry when we have to turn her or do something but I am taking that as a good sign. She did sleep in my arms last night and her oxygen stats have been good. Dj and I took the bys to Mass this morning and the whole church prayed for her. I want to thank Deacon Ernie for doing that, he has visited us every Wednesday since we got here. We have cultured every thing we can culture and so far it is all negative. Her bilirubin is down to 3.? today which is wonderful. Remember we started this at 21. Her kidneys are stable but please pray that stay that way as we are hitting them with alot of drugs. I thank God for getting us through another rough day and Praise Him for all glimpses of hope. I thank you all for believing in her. God will hear us! Trusting in Him. Keep Praying Keep Believing In her MIRACLE!!! Love, Michelle
