  • Thursday Morning Update

    Good morning Evie-Friends!  Amy here again!

    Evie's mom just called.  PRAISE GOD!  Evie is MUCH better this morning!  They have gotten her pain under some control.  She's still in pain, but it's not the wretched, dire pain she's been in the last few days.  The doctor is prescribing her the medication that will coat her stomach and relieve some of the pain she's having there.  They're still unsure whether her tummy tube has poked a small hole in her stomach or if she has an ulcer.  But they have at least curbed her pain.  The bad news is that her hemoglobin is way down and she'll need 2 units of blood today before she can go home and her white blood count has completely tanked (1.2!) so she is extremely prone to infection right now.  They're putting her on a hefty round of antibiotics to hopefully ward off any infection.  She's already running some fever and they need to stop that now and hopefully prevent any deep-rooted infection.  She will be unable to have ANY visitors outside of family and even family will have to wash, wash, wash hands and be super extra careful.  She's very tired and stiff from hurting.  Her massage will take place in a few minutes, then she'll get her 2 units of blood.  The mouth sores are still an issue and she doesn't want to talk much because it hurts to talk.  But despite this, her mom said she's no longer in "utter misery."  So y'all keep praying!  And thank you for the prayers thus far!
