Checking in to Shands today
Don: You never know what is going to happen next, do you? Karen took that fall last Wednesday (see previous message) and then that night started running a fever. We called Shands and they finally decided (after reviewing the options) that the best thing for us to do would be to try to make it through the evening and be at clinic first thing Thursday morning. We hit the road about 3:00am and were here at 8:00am. We ended up staying two nights in motels in Gainesville so that we could go to Outpatient clinic on Friday and Saturday. They almost put her in the hospital Wednesday but they were full and no one was really sure what we needed. She had a fever on Thursday evening again, though not as high. No fever since then. We went home on Saturday knowing that we had to be back on Monday morning (today). She was even more uncomfortable Sunday. They have decided to admit her today since she is not getting better and may be slightly worse. They are talking about scoping her out to check her stomach and gut. They also think they are going to scope her lungs because of borderline results on a test they did Friday and are repeating today. We will keep you posted. Don’t let up on the prayers, please. We have a long way to go.
HEY COWGIRL… THATS NOT THE BEST NEWS! WE WILL BE PRAYING …. AS ALWAYS FOR YOU.
Karen, you remain in my prayers. I love you, girlfriend – don’t ever forget it!
