Thoughts and Payers for my wife.
I’ve just been through one of the most challenge weeks of my life. My wife Donna had a ‘routine’ sinus surgery a week ago which quickly progressed into orbital cellulitis requiring hospitalization, eye surgery and several days of trying to find the right antibiotic to deal with the Staphylococcus aureus. If that wasn’t enough, a CAT scan revealed what appeared to be orbital thrombosis. She has been through hell; going into surgery and not knowing if she would lose sight in her eye or worse, and then being told she may have a life threatening blood clot in a very precarious location. Fortunately the head of neurology determined it wasn’t a thrombosis and she is starting to regain her sight, She is still in acute pain but happy to be on the mend. Meanwhile, I wound up contracting swine flu three days ago, so did my son-in-law, and my daughter came down with symptoms last night and is now off to the doctors as she feels like she is on the verge of bronchitis. When it rains it pours.
