Keeping the faith
Posted by stephanie on September 11th, 2007
The days are beginning to run together and the “plan” we set keeps getting changed. The team has me on the best antibiotics to cover a range of bacteria that could be making me sick and keeping my blood pressure (bp) low. To date despite cultures and many tests, they have not been able to identify the source of the infection. We have not been able to turn off the bp medication that is keeping us fighting but we do have it set at a low rate which is good. I am beginning to develop a pneumonia and am unable to get out of bed do to my fragile condition. I am running fevers 2-3 times a day and with each spell I am having a tougher time breathing and dropping my oxygen (O2) level.
We will continue to fight and battle; we refuse to give in. I remain grounded in faith and the knowledge that God is embracing and guiding the team. My work is not done.
