Becca needs your prayers tonight. They are trying to get her pain, nausea, and dizziness under control. She had the blood therapy and we are praying it will work.

Keep the faith.

Becca is resting this morning. They removed the oxygen as they feel she is doing well enough without it. She will start the blood treatment at 11:00, which should take about two hours. We received a glimmer of good news this morning. They did a full body MRI yesterday. The spots on her brain are not radiating like they used to!  The doctor was acting like a kid in a candy store. They are hopeful that the blood treatment will help after today.

Becca is sleeping well tonight. They finally figured out her pain medication. They put in the blood tube to start the 5 day therapy. It’s a process like dialysis to try and strip out part of the blood so that it doesn’t attack the body. As far as we know, she will stay in the ICU until this process is complete. They are working on her lungs to keep them inflated and working so that she doesn’t get pneumonia. They are confident they can accomplish this much easier in ICU and help her sleep. ICU is restricted to hours and up to two people at a time… this is hard. But I know it’s for the best. We ‘should’ get all the test results back by Tuesday of next week. They sent more samples to the Mayo Clinic.

Thank you again for your prayers, she’s fighting this with everything she’s got!

Becca is off the breathing tube! She is still in a lot of pain, but doing well. She is smiling and trying to talk about everything she can (it seems she had a lot going on while she couldn’t talk). We are keeping her in good spirits and hope to have some answers later…
