B's Hospital Stay!

After receiving a phone call from Leigh at 11pm Thursday night and checking B's fever for the next couple of hours and talking with the EAMC on-call pediatrician we knew we would end up at the office on Friday....we never really thought a hospital stay for a few days!

Especially when of ALL WEEKENDS...this is Honey's LONG weekend to work! I began on Friday and don't have an off day until Wednesday!

However, my heart is in that baby's room in Opelika and I am sending prayers up for her as often as I think of her which is OFTEN!

Thank you all so much for your calls, texts, notes, messages and visits!! I promise to have my phone on me on Wednesday and Thursday and hopefully return some of your attempts to reach me!!

TODAYS UPDATE:
 Here is the answer to everyone's faithful prayers for Blakely: the culture revealed definite Ecoli, but it is a strain that IS responding to the antibiotics. Her fever has broken for the first time, and she took her first bottle in several days and is eating her baby food! Her doctor will contact Pediatric Disease Control and wait for any additional instructions. She will be in the hospital for at least 7-10 days. She will have renal tests to see if there are cysts on the kidneys or urine reflux that may have made her susceptible to this bacteria. She is alert today, playing, and her color is better. I KNOW without a doubt that the LORD, our Healer, has touched Blakely and that His messengers have ministered His healing to her, speedily destroying the enemy coming against her little body in answer to the many prayers you have offered up on her behalf! Please pass along this miraculous recovery so that the Lord, our God will recieve ALL the honor and glory. He has used you and all the staff here at the hospital, especially Dr. Linda Anz, as His intruments. Dr. Anz listened to her heart and the knowledge and great wisdom she has gained over the years to make all the right decisions from the beginning. There are many doctors who would have said she just had a virus and sent us home. We will forever be grateful to her for her compassionate heart and care. Thank you all again for your continual prayers for little Blakely as she contines to grow stronger with every passing hour. God BLESS and reward you abundantly!! I will post any additional information we receive as she recovers.
