@jeanne-mayell thank you for your prayers.
She just went to a local hospital for the infection not a teaching hospital. They have discharged her for now and put her on strong antibiotics. She is still quite poorly but they don't think it is sepsis now.
The biospies themselves were for suspected Sjogrens Syndrome at a private hospital (She has health insurance at her job which she can take advantage of to fast track tests/treatment). She has the same rare bleeding disorder as me which is like hemophilia, so she doesn't heal very well after surgical procedures, so we think this might be why it has become infected.
I'm not sure whether its something you are seeing or not, but I am the one under a university hospital for various different ailments.
@jeanne-mayell Film has come along way with guns. Did you hear the story about the 1939 movie "Public Enemy" with James Cagney? In the final scene. Cagney is going out in the open, and a sharp shooter was using live bullets shooting to miss Cagney so the bullets could be seen hitting close to him.
Also I finally got to take to Gordons sister. She said he is paralyzed from the chest down. They won't know anything for at least six months. Please pray for him. Thank you.
Hello, dear All. I've been keeping myself offline and very small-focused and local and centered on "inner" - my inner needs, only the most important people and things inside my circle. But I'm selfishly popping in to ask for some light to be sent to my son, H., from anyone who might be willing to raise him up a bit.
The covid year really knocked him out of his orbit. He went from Honors Program, Dean's List, leading his team, loving everything about college his freshman and sophomore years to losing everything in the past 18 months. He's depressed, off the team, dropped three of his four classes this semester, lost his athletic and academic scholarships, and truly has no idea what he's doing. Four month ago, he had a plan, now he has nothing.
I told him my priority would be for him to find someone to talk to, sent him a list of local therapists who are in our insurance coverage, and told him I wanted him to call every single one until he found one taking new patients. (He did; the earliest he can see someone is three weeks from now.) Then I said he needs to talk to his coach, find out what his options are, and make decisions based on what he needs to do to be well and get through this semester and then next, what should be his last. He is so close to the end, and I don't want to see him completely lose his way just months from graduation.
This is a kid who has succeeded, was labeled "gifted," worked hard, been goal-focused, and was seemingly "golden" his entire life. Everything that happened in the past year and a half was too much for him to know how to handle, and he let it get too far away from him before telling us because he didn't want to let us down and kept hoping he could "get it together" and fix it. But now it's too late and he doesn't know what to do.
Any good, supportive, loving, wise, healing energy would be so appreciated right now. I'm truly worried about him; he doesn't know how to fail and lose his way, and he's just lost the sport that he loves more than anything, and all the plans and dreams and goals that he'd set for himself for college, right near the finish line. It breaks my heart.
Thanks <3
@saibh I hit the "like" button...but that doesn't really seem appropriate. Just wanted to say that was a very poignant post and l am sending prayers for your son.
It is a global understanding in this thread in particular the "like" button is an acknowledgement that light is headed in the direction it's requested :-)
Prayers and light @Saibh
Thank you to everyone who sent their prayers and support recently.
The doctors now believe my sister caught a hand, foot and mouth virus on top of her mouth infection and this is why her recovery has been complicated. In the UK, there does appear to be quite a lot of this virus going round at the moment. But for now she remains on strong antibiotics and it may be a few more day before the virus goes away.
We are all very grateful that this is not sepsis or anything more serious, so we really do count our blessings after everything that's been going on lately.
On a side note, I am not sure if I have mentioned it before, but when anyone here sends light to me and my family, I nearly always see big white flashes of light right near to my face. I'm assuming that this is normal?? ??
@saibh I am so sorry to hear what a tough time your son is having. A friend of mine who is an administrator of 18 medical clinics told me recently that the mental health specialists are stretched to the limit because of the pandemic. Your dear son is not alone in his suffering and he should understand that he’s not a failure or a disappointment to you in any way. I’m glad he will get help soon and I can understand your worry. I am sending you both protection during this difficult period. I’m sending your son healing and understanding. Going through this experience is tough, but it will make him stronger. This will teach him about persevering during hard times and give him understanding and compassion for others who struggle. I feel your deep love and worry for him. I wish I could show you just how dramatically this situation can turn around because I believe it will. In the meantime, though, I send protection and ask higher powers to surround your son and keep him safe. There are better days ahead. Much love to you and yours.
@luminous Actually, I saw her not you. I felt she had what she needed, and it sounds like she was okay to go home. But I was also getting the feeling that she should seek help at a state-of-the-art hospital. I was concerned about that. If she is fine now, then great. But I would not mess around in the future with something that looks exotic and dangerous, as this did. I'd go straight to the top teaching hospitals, with the specialists and the equipment, that can respond on the spot with everything a person needs.
