UPDATE: AMANDA GOT TO COME HOME TODAY (Sat. Eve.)!!!
[List holders, please be so kind as to ping your prayer lists! I would be much obliged as I don’t know who wrote me privately earlier that is on which list(s) — My apologies for duplicates]
Amanda was able to come home from the hospital this evening (with promises to completely stay off her leg from her, and promises from her Dad and I to call them if ANYTHING changes)!!!
She can’t bear any weight on her leg in order to prevent her calf muscle from tearing (they will be delivering a wheelchair for her on Monday).
We still need your prayers: Her medication is in low supply in the hospitals and the pharmacies do not regularly carry it, and it will need to be special ordered. We were able to get two doses from St. Joseph’s via a transport crew from St. Clare’s (20 mins. away) who were about to go there when we showed up with the news from the Walgreens & Shopko pharmacies. They brought it back here with them on their return trip.
We will need to be at the pharmacy first thing tomorrow morning, and hopefully somehow we can get an emergency shipment from somewhere. We only have enough for tonight’s dose, and tomorrow morning’s. Please pray they are able to obtain some and get it here ASAP, or that our regular pharmacy might happen to have it for some odd reason! We don’t want to miss a dosage...
Thanks again for everyone’s prayers, love and support! Praise God for all of you, and of course all the wonderful folks at St. Joseph’s, and now St. Clare’s as well!
Oh, her head and chest X-rays were all clear, so best we can tell the infection is limited to those two spots in her body!!! PRAISE GOD for that!
We were told her leg WILL get a little bit worse before it starts getting better in a few days. She’s got some really good pain relievers, and we’ve got her set up in the living room here with tons of pillows so she’s resting comfortably!
Thanks again and may God bless all of you and yours!
Most Sincerely,

Thank You Lord for Amanda coming home today.
We praise You for Your many blessings.
In Jesus’ Holy Name.
Amen.
PRAISE GOD.
OLIVE LEAF CAPSULES is reportedly quite antifungal.
One can research it on the net. It doesn’t compete with meds, IIRC.
Thank you for the update and the good news. Prayers continue for her speedy recovery.
Heavenly Father, we beg You for Your help in getting Amanda’s medication to her very quickly, so that she does not miss a dose. Please bless Amanda and her loving family as they go through this trial, with Your comfort, Your peace, and your strength. In Christ’s Most Holy Name I join my prayers to others here, amen.
Thank you for the good news.
My prayers will be for you and your family and the continued healing of Amanda.
Please note: Update from yesterday at #154 - forgot to ping everyone - sorry!
[Also apologies for any duplicate pings, a FRiend put the list together, and although I see a couple dupes I can’t go through it right now to remove the names - there are a LOT! I will do so before I update again tomorrow... Sorry!]
UPDATE: Prayers needed for Insurance Problems re: Medication Needed & healing for Amanda still, of course. Also requesting prayer for a cousin of my husband’s who just lost their 13-year-old boy to leukemia back on Jan. 25th (we just found out...).
The pharmacy was able to special order Amanda’s medicine and it will be here tomorrow (Monday) at 10am. The price is a bit of a problem though... Please pray that her insurance will understand she is not “wanting” the liquid vs. the pills, but that she NEEDS the liquid form due to the severity of her infection and the efficacy of the liquid.
The hospital & pharmacy are working with our insurance - otherwise it’s $800.00 for her first script. That might only be for ONE WEEK’s WORTH!
The hospital, and doctors have basically assured us that no matter what - we will NOT need to pay that amount - they will find a program to help us, if her insurance doesn’t come through for us... Please pray this is true. She will need this medication for I would guess at least a few weeks before she can take the pill form. (She is taking the pills tonight to keep it in her system until we get the liquid tomorrow).
Mandy was also having a very hard time today with pain, and nausea/vomiting, so prayers for her comfort are requested as well. She IS doing better tonight. I’m praying she isn’t sensitive to the liquid as it was after her liquid medication, but she had 4 doses before the first time she got sick, so we’ll cross our fingers...
One more prayer request, please... We found out that Amanda’s second cousin passed away on Jan. 25th - he was being treated at St. Joseph’s for Leukemia (perhaps this was part of the reason her doctors (the same as his) were so worried about her, and had her in the oncology ward - but were not able to tell us that because of privacy issues of course, and not to scare us unnecessarily?). Please pray for the family of Matthew.
Thank you all so very much for the continued prayers and support. I will never be able to express how much everyone’s support means to me, and our whole family. Prayers for God’s blessings for all of you...
Doctors faill to tell people when they take antibiotics need to be taken with Probiotics in order to prevent mouth and vaginal yeast infections as antibiotics kill the good with the bad.
Had to take Nistatin powder anti-fungal med for several weeks, tasted like the bottom of a fish tank smelled.
