Kind of a rough day, so Rach asked me to stay the night. I'm attempting to update this using my Blackberry.
Pretty high fever most of the day (over 102), which really wiped her out. Her heartrate ran in the 140's as well.
Dialysis today, and some PT, and down to Radiology this evening for an MRI. This should give a better understanding of the brain lesion.
She just started on a new antibiotic for her lung infection -- Colistin. They think she's got a really resistant e. Coli in there, and hope this will work.
On the plus side: She got moved to a new room yesterday, with a window. And Dell's back from Jamaica.
Lastly, as if her family didn't have enough to worry about, her nephew Jeff committed suicide yesterday. An extra prayer for Jeff, his brother Matt, and their mom Marilyn (Rachel's sister) is in order.

Not much else to say except to let you know that we are reading every day's news with hope and we pray daily for Rachels' recovery. I know there are so many of us doing this and so, God - you'd better be listening!!!!
Terrible news about your nephew, so sorry, can only hope that he found his peace. Young lives lost are so heartwrenching.

Pat-
My prayers are with you and your family. I was shocked and devastated when I heard the news about your wife.
I've been through the cancer battle with close family members. Words are often insufficient, but please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Harrigan Family, I marvel at your strength and pray to God to ease up for a little while. You all are so brave.
Love, Melissa, Rob and Nora Thompson

It is at times like these that it is hard to remember God only wants good for our lives, yet we live in an imperfect world. My prayer is for peace and comfort to you and your extended family in this most difficult of times.
