My 12 yo granddaughter, named Rachel, was taken by her mom, (my daughter) to the ER last night with a bad stomach ache and a fever. Her dad, my son-in-law, stayed home with the other two kids.
At 11pm they called me to come and stay with the younger children because Rachel was going into surgery. By the time they operated, it had been seeping pus (had burst) and now she is very very sick. She's on two IV antibiotics, glassy-eyed, feverish, and sort of out of it.
I'm so upset! She waited 2-1/2 hours in a very slow ER--in agonizing pain, and now this! They don't know when she'll be released--certainly not till she's without a fever for 24 hours; at least her kidneys are functioning okay right now.
Please pray for her recovery--I ask not for myself, but for her sake, and my daughter and her husband who are worried sick, and so is her little sister.
Thank you so much. I've known people who've had this happen, and none of them look as sick as poor Rachel does.
please ping your lists—thank you!
Prayers up.
