Michelle developed an infection in her kidneys earlier this week that was not responding to treatment at home. She was admitted to hospital for IV antibiotics on tuesday, for a proposed 3 day stay. Unfortunately things aren't going as planned, and her stay will be a little longer. Michelle is suffering with pain, headache, and vomiting. Her ascites(fluid in abdomen) has increased to the point that it is compressing her lungs and making breathing more difficult. Her platelets(component of blood needed for clotting) are critically low, resulting in her recieving a platelet transfusion this evening. At this point Michelle's transplant is on hold.
I can only imagine the fear Michelle and her family are feeling as they go through this experience. Michelle misses her son terribly, and hopes to have a visit with him tomorrow for the first time since her admission. Fingers crossed that this visit will go well for the whole family, and that her son will find comfort in his mommy and not have any fear about the hospital.
Please keep the family in your thoughts, and pray that Michelle will not have to endure any more pain, and that she will be home soon.
Thanks,
Tracey
