Well - it's been a month now...Sorry that i haven't been able to post but things have been a little busy with everything going on.
She is still in an ICU unit but they transferred her closer to her parents so she is in a hospital in Grand Rapids. She was on a vent the entire time she was here and they just took her off the vent on Sunday. It was a really hard road. We almost lost her 3 different times but things are now getting better. They have now diagnosed her as having Lemierre's Syndrome. I guess it is a really really rare disease. I'm just glad they finally found out what was causing all of this. She is a very lucky girl. She spoke her first words since being in a drug induced coma on Friday. Glasses and TV!
She has a really hard road ahead of her. They are hoping that her lungs will be back to 70%! Not great but at least she pulled through!
They are hoping to have her out of the hospital within the next couple of weeks. WOW - I kind of wish that we would of started a diary of everything that was happening. She lost 1 month of her life (being in a coma). I just wish she was here so we could talk to her and see her. But she knows we are with her!
I strongly recommend to all of you to have a roll a dex of all the women's social secruity numbers, date of births, parents' contact number (home and work) and if she has any allergies or is a diabetic. These are the types of things that the hospital needs to know when they are admitting a patient. This would of helped us in the situation vs. trying to find the info!
Thanks for all the prayers. Keep praying as she has a very long road of recovery ahead - but hey, at least she is still here!
