They moved my sister to the ICU unit at Ocala Regional Medical Center yesterday and she is scheduled for surgery today to drain the excessive adominal fluid. The surgery was originally scheduled for yesterday, but she's now developed a URI too.

She is very, very sick and so weak. Any prayers that can mustered up for her would be more than appreciated. Her name is Marilyn and she's 51 years old.

She has a rare spinal cord abscess. Usually, surgery is performed to lance the abscess. But she's not a canidate for surgery because, as a health care professional, she contracted Hepatitis C years ago which has caused extensive liver damage.

Has she been treated with Interferon?

[TEXOKIE]

Heartfelt amen to your prayer in post 33, dansangel.

Prayers continuing, Beach_Babe. God bless her, you, and your entire family.

[MonroeDNA]

Stating the obvious, she needs to be under the care of a liver specialist. Forget the costs for now; just put it out of your mind. You have enough to deal with, and the medical system here can be forgiving, if you talk to the right people. Ignore the low levels for now, and deal with it later.

Ocala is not the best med center in FL. Jacksonville or Miami is. Completely different caliber of physicians, and attitude.

[MonroeDNA]

Plese answer me ASAP about the Interferon.

[willyboyishere]

Prayer vibes going out now.
She will pull through/keep us posted.

See this site, if she has been on Interferon:

Lord, hear our prayers for Marilyn ...

[international american]

Please accept my apology for not having responded sooner. My friend was in surgery. All well. I can't begin to imagine the pain you are feeling now, I pray to dear God in Heaven that your sister is ok.
My very best regards, IA

[BlessedBeGod]

Prayers on the way!

[Exit148]

Marilyn has so many strikes against her, right now, dear Lord. Please use your healing powers to ease the conflicts that prevent her from the treatment she so dearly needs. Please guide those who are caring for her, that they will look on her as a person in need of medical expertise, and to put their priorities in order. Please watch over her.

Prayer aside --- where in he** are the doctors who have taken their oath to do no harm?? What are they doing??
