Debbie's update.......June 11..........by Charlie

Debbie's day has been mostly uneventful with a barrage of antibiotics  to combat the pneumonia. Chest x-ray did show slightly less congestion than yesterday (great news) and test for vassal spasms did not show increase(more great news)  Sometimes we must view less as more.  Temp has been a problem but this afternoon at 6:30 p.m. IT HAD DROPPED TO NORMAL and she had not had tylenol for over 3 hours, nor had she been subjected to the cooling (I call it the refrigeration mattress) pad since early a.m.  We are praying this is a sign the infection is decreasing and antibiotics are working. White cell count had also dropped.
I'd like to say this about the nurses and doctors at MUSC.   They are nothing short of FANTASTIC!  They not only care exceptionally well for the patient but also the family.  I have nothing but good to say about them and their caring, loving, understanding and professional attitudes.  They are the best!
Thanks again for all your prayers..........Our Lord is working and can do anything!
