TC

Some days (weeks) just aren’t as fun as others.
This is one of those weeks.

TC was admitted to KU Hospital on Monday.
It took a lot of convincing to get her there,
She’s always fearful that if she goes,
She may not be coming back home.
It’s very, very scary for her.
It’s scary for all of us.

She has an infection.
Words you never want to hear about someone whose immune system has been so compromised.
The Doctor’s think they caught it in time.
They’re growing a culture now to decide how best to treat it.

She’s also very anemic.
They have started blood transfusions which promise to reverse the feelings of exhaustion she’s been battling.
We look forward to those kicking in and pray they do the trick.

The hospital is actually the last place the doctors want TC to be.
Their goal is to figure out which drug will best kill the infection,
Then send her home with an intravenous pump where she can rest comfortably in a safe, germ-free environment.
(Obviously she won’t be coming to my house!)

So please, say a special prayer for TC today,
Her spirits are very low; we’ve yet to find a magic pill for that.
Our good thoughts and prayers are really all she’s got.
Thank you.
