The Source of Infection

The doctors have done more testing and found that the source of the infection is in mama's lungs. Luckily the infections doctor had put her on the antibiotic to help with that a few days before we found out that was the source of infection. Her "numbers" should be at 10, yesterday they were at 20 and today when they tested again they were at 14 so she's getting to where she should be. Good news! She is more alert today and has been joking again. I love this side of her and I'm so proud of her for being so strong and trying to stay as upbeat as possible at a time like this. I know it has to be pretty depressing to wake up in a hospital bed and find out you have been there for two weeks and will be there for at least another week if not two... she is so strong! She has been on a break from the ventilator for 5 hours now and doing well. I think she's really trying hard since they've told her they will allow her start talking after she's able to breath without the ventilator for 24 hours. Their first hospital bill came in from the E.R. visit and YIKES! If anyone would like to add to the fund, here is the link. https://fundrazr.com
I will also try to put together a fundraiser of some sort when I get back to Utah so if anyone has any ideas or would like to help, please let me know. Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers, keep them coming... she has to kick this infection and it won't be very easy with how sick she is already.
