As much as it pains me to have to say this, I have to retract a bit of the good news this morning due to some miscommunication. Mom's lung x-rays have improved, however, her lung cultures are still showing growth. Whatever bacteria that has managed to make camp there is not leaving easily. The doctors have made an executive decision to pull her off of the antibiotic and see how her own immune system tackles the issue. Removal from the lung antibiotic is also necessary as it is not helping to get rid of the bacteria though it is still very damaging to her kidneys. We need to pray that she continues to be tough and that her body has some better ideas as far as her lungs are considered.
Thank you all so very much for your prayer and concern.
All is well. Lots of prayers and faith coming your way.

Stephanie, prayers and faith are working. We thank you for the encouragment from one who goes before Nadine on this journey. Today was a milestone that we will always remember. Aunt Jo and Aunt Cheryl were in the waiting room when the nurse came out looking for family. She told us Nadine was on the tilt board and asked if we would like to see her. Once we got to the door Aunt Cheryl was asked to get gowned up and go in to see her. She did that and with the nurse's help was able to see her eye to eye. Aunt Cheryl started talking to Nadine and Nadine moved her arm as if she was trying to hug her. Aunt Cheryl said "I wish I could hug you sweetie." The nurse then said she could. Aunt Cheryl reached both arms around her neck and hugged her. She told her how proud we are of her and what an awesome job she is doing! Aunt Cheryl told her she was going to make an entry into her newly started journal and Nadine responded with a big grin.
ReplyDeleteWe thank you Lord for the miracles we are witnessing!
Love to all,
Aunt Jo and Aunt Cheryl
