Day +37

Today was another clinic day. Doctors say that all is going well except for the bacterial infection. They still think it is in the central line. We are using ethanol to flush and lock the line for 24 hrs at a time to try and kill off the bacteria. They are also adjusting the antibiotic so she will be receiving a little stronger dose. If the next couple of blood cultures come back positive Rachel will have her central line taken out and another one put in. Please pray that this gets under control so that won't have to happen. I would hate for her to have to go through that discomfort again.
Please pray for Rachel's spirit which is a little down this week. She has really had a positive attitude through this whole procedure, but lately it has been a little hard. She is improving but wants to be doing even better. I think her spirits would improve if her mobility would improve and she is homesick too.
This week has been good for meals..our friend Jan brought us Mexican Chipotle Saturday night and Kim our care partner brought us some homemade meals tonight..very delicious. God has brought so many wonderful people into our lives since we have been here and we feel very blessed.
