Test Results Coming In

Mom did test positive for a bad infection of the GI tract from a bacterium called Clostridium difficile, often simply called C. diff or C. difficile. It flares up when people are taking antibiotics!

As the name implies, it is difficult to get rid of. Mom has been under treatment for a couple days now and things seem to be a little better. There is swelling of the gut which makes breathing labored and talking difficult.

The bone marrow biopsy results are coming in. So far, they are not finding lymphoma which is great news. There are more cultures still being developed so we are not out of the woods there.

Your continued prayers are appreciated.
