Lousy infection!

I’m not sure if it’s a new one or the same one returning after lying low, but Susan’s recurrent infection is back. Her lab results from last week were positive for bacteria in her urinary tract and also showed resistance to Bactrim and Cipromycin, two antibiotics she had recently when symptoms surfaced again. She’s been on a different antibiotic called Augmentin for two days and will have more labs this week to see if the drug is being effective. If it’s not working for her, she’ll need a course of stronger, IV antibiotics. This episode has been a drag for Susan – increasing fatigue, weakness, and confusion, and causing some irritability. She hasn’t had the strength or will to participate in therapy very well the past few days. We continue to pray for healing and we hope her current meds will knock down the infection. She’s burdened enough while the blood clot remains on her brain, so relief from complications like this will be most welcome.
