As most of you are aware, Kelli has been sick since last Wednesday. She got in to see the family doctor on Wednesday and was told that she had a slight cold. They gave her antibiotics and sent her home. By Thursday morning her fever was rising and peaked around noon at 104.6. We took her to the ER Thursday afternoon to find the source of her high fever. The ER physician was not satisfied with the family doctor's diagnosis, especially since she was just 11 days postpartum. They ran tests, found her to be suffering from an urinary tract infection, gave her fluids and antibiotic through an IV and sent her home. She and Brooke went home with me and we tried nursing her back to health until she returned home on Sunday. She was feeling much better by Friday, unfortunately, she developed a cough and congestion on Sunday...so she is still feeling badly, just with something different. She goes back to the family doctor tomorrow.
I would like to thank all of you who have been praying for her, Matt and Brooke. A special thank you to the Young Married's Sunday School class at Wilcrest for taking such good care of them since Brooke's arrival. We were blessed to be able to share the pumpkin pie this past weekend...and it was GOOD! There were even phone calls while we were at the ER from special friends who were trying to deliver food that night. You guys are the BEST! Thanks to the JOY class for the emails and prayers as well. I miss you all so VERY, VERY MUCH! To the family, I guess you can figure out that they will not be able to join us for Thanksgiving...but we are looking forward to seeing you all while we are home. (I hope we will do. I know you were looking forward to meeting Brooke.) I guess I am just trying to say...if you prayed for, thought of, visited, called, emailed, sent a text message, brought food or any combination of those...thank you, thank you, thank you! You are such a blessing to all of us!
