Rachel had another clinic appointment today. She had to get an infusion of magnesium which took about 1 1/2 hrs. They also drew more blood cultures. Yesterdays turned out negative which is good news, but the doctors are thinking they may put in a new line anyway. They are saying because it has taken so long to get a negative culture they are afraid the infection will come back. They are still contemplating on what to do and they will also take into consideration how the next couple of cultures turn out.
Tonight we had John and Cindy, our neighbors, over for ice cream. John had a similar procedure done 9 months ago so he can relate to some of the things Rachel is going through. They are a nice couple and we enjoyed the evening.
Please pray about
the bacteria infection
nausea which is still hanging on mostly in the mornings
shakiness...mobility issues
