Thanks again for the prayers and positive thought.
Just a short update.....
After a little over a week of complications and only being able to treat symptoms with no causes, we may finally be back on the road to recovery. The worst of these problems were the rapid onset high fevers, continuous blood seepage into the brain and very severe sodium loss.
Although she remains in intensive care in very serious condition, the last couple days have shown some improvements. within the last two days Cathy has had only 3 fevers and none exceeded 101 (down from 8-10 per day at 103+), the blood seepage into her brain seems to have finally subsided, and her sodium levels are beginning to SLOWLY return to normal. She does continue to get very high doses of sodium infused and has to salt all her food to a brine taste, but it looks like it's working. She is starting to wallk again and regain some strength. We also hope to get the brain catheter removed in the next couple of days and the weaning process has been started.
All the prayer and thought have helped! Hopefully, the next update will be when she comes home, possibly in the next couple of weeks.
Thanks again to the Pond Boss Family----You're the best!!!
