I wish I could say we had a plan, but as of right now the doctors are doing their best to come up with one. As of right now, there is no clear evidence of where the infection is located....from her MRI, ct, ultrasound and bloodwork. If they knew for sure it was a rod infection, the treatment would be 6-9 months of antibiotics and they dont want to just assume that and start her on that treatment. Also, one doctor suggested her rods could have come loose. She is getting better, and is happier this morning. So we are thankful for that. However, we dont know if she is getting better because of antibiotics or just getting better herself. Most likely they are going to take her off of antibiotics and see if she spikes a fever or gets worse and that way they will know if the antibiotics are helping. They will also be talking more in depth with Dr. Campbell this morning and get his expert opinion too. MG's case in very unique, it has seemed that is the story of her life, so finding the right answers is confusing, even for the doctors. Pray that God will guide them to the best plan for MG.
We're growing more weary and just frustrated...but we know that God is in all the details. Pray for clarity and answers and just healing for her. Also, patience and rest in Him who is not surprised by any of this.
Jennifer--I am praying for you, Lee, and Mary Graham, and also for the doctors as they develop a plan. Sweet MG has been on my mind all day, and I will continue to pray for her healing and comfort.
