Vanity - Prayers for my daughter abroad
vanity | 25 July 2014 | ZinGirl

Hi - I come to you humbly asking for your thoughts and prayers for our daughter. She just went abroad as she starts her Junior year from Gettysburg College and is in Melbourne, Australia. She has been there just over 2 weeks.

Things were going great until she called this morning to say she was in the ER because she hasn't felt well, has had a headache for 2 days, and feels like she has been hit by a truck.

Long story short, she is being treated for a bacterial infection and the hospital is bringing in infectious disease doctors. Her temp was 104. She is on antibiotics and feeling better...but we are so worried.

We live in Baltimore and I feel helpless. She is a great student and has made friends, two of which have stayed with her almost the whole time. The logistics are being handled thru an organization called Arcadia, and they have been tremendous, both in Australia and the US office.

We have a wonderful support system (family and friends) praying for her and have felt their prayers as my husband and I feel so helpless....but I would truly covet and be evergrateful if you feel led to pray for us and our daughter, Christina.

I apologize ahead of time if I can't respond personally....please know I will try. God bless you.

Thanks for the update and great news it is :-) It sounds as though she got better care there than she would have, here!

Good call, metmom...thanks. I’m going to email her. I’m sure they have probiotics somewhere around her. I looked up the antibiotic they gave her and it seems like a pretty strong one.
