Seems as though time is flying right past us. Last Tuesday was actually a solid 2 months that Paula has been in the Baptist Hotel. She has had many bumps along the way. She went into ICU last week due to having a infection in her blood. Seems as though they caught it pretty early on and after several days of very good care and intensive IV antibiotics in the ICU she is now back out into a room on the floor, room #778. They are still working on doing dialysis and therapy keeps working with her to help her keep her strength. The docs are talking about placing a filter to help catch a clot floating around in her leg. Not sure exactly when this will happen, but hopefully it works. Still hoping and praying for a liver. Paula has come through such a long and tedious journey none would ever want to take. She still has the fight and will to keep going until she gets her liver and kidney. She would love to just be able to "take time to smell the roses".
So send those e-cards, make phone calls, visit and mostly......Just keep praying. Seems as though someone upstairs is listening as she continually makes it through the rough times.
Just make sure you take time to stop and tell her you love her and are thinking of her. She is truly an amazing lady.
Rachele.

Quick Update....
Paula has had a rough go lately and has been in and out of ICU with a GI bleed. She has stabilized and now is in room 756 still at Baptist. She is working with OT/PT for daily therapy and seems to be having a bit better luck with her strength. Her doctors have told us she is #2 on the list. We are still holding onto faith and prayers to see her through this time. After transplant will not be an easy path either, so she will need all of the strength she can get now and then. We are still looking for volunteers who would like to help us with sitting with her and also to visit and help keep her morale. If this is something you are remotely interested in please let us know. We appreciate your thoughts, prayers and all of your support.
We are still selling Sonic and Subway value cards for $5. Let us know if you would like to purchase some!!!
