Hey all, We need prayers again, Erin has what we thought was a cold. We took her in yesterday and they swabbed her nose. The results just came back RSV. Many of you know that is a respiratory virus most commonly found in young children. Well, Erin's immune system is like a 6 month old and she has it. They just called to tell us to come in and be admitted for 4 days, so they can treat it. She will be in isolation and have a tent over her bed to help treat it. She will also get antiviral meds etc. Unfortunately that means she will be spending her birthday in the hospital. We are so bummed, but as usual, we know God is in control and so we just have to go with the flow. Please pray for Erin! Thanks, janet
Update... Erin is in E708 but cannot have visitors. She is in isolation. They started her first treatment about 6:15 tonight. It is a 6 hour treatment under the tent. Apparently the riboviron is very toxic, so they don't allow anyone in the room while she is receiving the treatment, not even the nurses. Tomorrow they will be able to break the treatment up into 2 three hour treatments. The treatment doesn't hurt or make people nauseous so she should be fine. She just has to watch TV for 6 hours or sleep. No phone or computer or books. They cover everything in the room so the residue doesn't contaminate anyone that comes in later. Thanks for the prayers and please keep them coming. love, janet
