Back In the hospital

Lee is back in the hospital to receive IV antibiotics. Her primary care physician called this morning to update us that one of the blood cultures had finally shown some type of bacterial infection. There is a limited chance that it could be meningitis so they have her on isolation precautions until more definitive results are available sometime tomorrow. She had gotten some level of relief and better rest with the medicine changes the doctors made late Friday and was pretty disheartened to have to head back to the hospital, but the infectious disease doctor that her PCP consulted felt that the inpatient IV antibiotics was the safest course of treatment. We are just getting settled in and they are preparing to start the antibiotics via her central IV but she has gotten behind on her pain and fever medicines with the transition from home to the hospital so she's pretty uncomfortable at the moment, so please pray for timely relief.

You don't know me and I actually cannot remember how I found you all years back....maybe through Tiffany Rose's care page (cousin of a good HS friend). But as I have been getting/ reading your recent updates, I have been praying diligently. I am homebound myself and lots of time to pray, so you have a lot of crying put to Jesus from one of your sisters in Christ. Thank you for the updates even tho it takes precious energy. I am praying that God smooths the roller coaster and that this IV antibiotic will be the pacman that eats away at all the nasties and helps Lee find relief. And that this will lead to further relief in your whole body. Steve, I pray that your support system will rise up around you as you walk through this with your beloved Lee. May God's grace carry your bodies and give them physical, mental and spiritual strength. Father, I cry out to you on Lee and Steve's behalf asking you to provide what You know they need. My heart hurts with you all and I pray that "survival mode" will not be for much longer and sweet relief will come soon. With much Love in the Spirit
