Still need prayer for my sister.Just spoke with the main doctor that's co-ordinating Brenda's care. She's still septic, but they can't find the source of the infection. They've gotten more aggressive with her anti-biotics, but her white blood count is still too high and the only things keeping her blood pressure up are the meds she's getting by iv. She's still really swollen especially her right leg and arm and he fears that she may have another blood clot in that arm. They are going to try to drain her gallbladder with an external tube in the hopes that some of the swelling will go down.
Here's where it gets really bad. He didn't say in so many words, but he stated that she's been there for a while now with no progress. And he was suggesting that they stop all treatment and let nature take its course. I told him in no uncertain terms that I'm not giving up on her. The doctors may not have a solution, but I have the ultimate physician, Yahweh Raptha, the mighty one who heals us. He created her, He knows every chromosome in her body and if it's His will He will heal her
Fropo, I am so sorry to hear this. My prayers are with you and her. Keep thinking positive thoughts. Lots of hugs to you both

Good news. They put an external drain in my sister's gallbladder because it still wasn't draining right. When they ran the cultures they found fungus. It had clogged another duct. They put her on an anti-fungal and with the drain in place her white blood count has come down considerably and her color is returning to normal. She's still not out of the woods because they can't place the filter for the blood clot until the infection is all cleared up, but her doctor thinks that they have turned a significant corner.

9:30 pm trying to rain. Just wet the grass. This is the start of our rainy season so usually just quick showers or if longer, only an hour or so. Have had lots of rain lately. Ready for some dry days. Tomorrow lunch with my retired school group where I taught. Good get together once a month. I have been retired since '94 so not too many old ones left that I really knew. Have a good week-end.
