Hi, everyone. Megan here. Dad asked if I could just go ahead and post an update tonight. So here it is.
I talked to Mom on the phone for a little while tonight. She said she was feeling much better. The blood bags were hooked up and she was getting yet another transfusion, but her fever has been gone since yesterday. The doctors have confirmed that she has pneumonia. She probably has been fighting it for quite some time. She had a bad cold about a month ago, and the pneumonia most likely stems from that cold. Whether or not that's the only infection wreaking havoc right now, the doctors aren't sure. She's on an all-purpose antibiotic that should knock everything out. She needs to get rid of the infection(s) completely before she can start the drug therapy. She thinks she might be able to go home tomorrow or Thursday.
Thanks everyone for all your support. It means a lot to all of us.
Love,
Megan
I want so much for you to get better. For your sake, of course, but also because the Fort Collins clan is makin' plans to be in Mankato this weekend. We're leaving Friday night and will be in town part of Sat and all day Sunday. I have a big surprise for you. I lost a front tooth and what else could I do - but get a tattoo. It is awesome! You're gonna love it and want one yourself. Love, Sister
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Megan,for keeping us in the loop. Words cannot express the anxiety we feel when we don't hear (I can never hear enough how Kathy is faring).
ReplyDeleteAgain, thanks from the bottom of my heart.
Love,
