Urgent! Prayers needed for Tonya.

After checking Tonya's blood 3 times today it was discovered that she is losing blood from somewhere. They are now giving her a transfusion. They are going to infuse two units and check her blood again. IF the level is still low, they are going to infuse two more. She is scheduled for an endoscopy tomorrow morning. They were unable to do one this afternoon as an emergency because her blood level was so low. We have yet to find out where the blood has gone, but are being told this is not anything to be concerned with right now. I don't believe that for a second. I am very concerned and ask for your urgent prayer support. Brian

Set Back for Tonya

Tonya has been nauseated and vomiting since she last arrived home from the hospital. This afternoon Tonya was throwing up what appeared to be blood. I have returned her to the hospital to see if they can find out why. I will keep you informed. Brian

Tonya Is Home!

Tonya made it home about 11 AM. She is still a little tired and run down, but she is home. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Brian

Happy Anniversary!

Further Complications for Tonya

Tonya has developed a pain her right side and the on-duty doctor has ordered an abdominal sonogram. This means at least one more day in the hospital. The sonogram will not be performed until Monday and Tonya will be permitted nothing by mouth from midnight tonight until after the procedure. The results will not likely be available until Tuesday or Wednesday. Pray for Tonya's recovery by Feb 12 because Brian has two tickets to the Casting Crowns Concert that night. These two need a break from doctors and hospitals and some time together in peace. Bill

Tonya Update

The Infection Control Doctor determined what specific bacteria Tonya now battles and she is being treated with the appropriate medicine. She still suffers from severe nausea and vomiting so IV administration must be used until this subsides. The possibility exists that she may be able to come home Monday. Brian

Update on Tonya

Tonya's VRE is gone and her current bacteria is something different. It is not a mutation, but a new strain altogether. New antibiotics are being tried so she will be in the hospital at least four more days. Brian

John Morgan, III

John encountered a pothole while riding his bicycle. Moments later he encountered the ground fracturing his hip. His hip has been repaired with pins and John is back at home. Pray for his speedy and complete healing and a pain free hip.
