Mystery Spots Diagnosed

Well...this is a new one for us. Pseudomonas Aeruginosa. Infection of the skin. Dr. Luu suggested an Infectious Disease doctor or Dr. Libby, our Hematologist. I called Dr. Libby and we're going in to see him tomorrow at 11:00 (blood work at 10:00). He hopes to call in an Infectious Disease doctor to evaluate her while we're at UNM. The place actually looks a LOT better today than it has so something we're doing is helping. Mike told Brooke she wasn't going to school tomorrow...I'm thankful he did it because I couldn't find the right words. It breaks my heart to have to keep taking this child back for more and more and more. Especially on a day she was looking forward to. She has been so excited about finally getting to go back to school to see her friends! Hopefully this junk won't "put her back in the bubble!" My mom is coming tonight to spend the night with us and we'll leave around 5:30 in the morning. Going to be a long day!! We're picking up Aunt Vera in Edgewood so she can have some "girl time" with us. Always nice to spend time with her!

The good news is...NO MRSA! I hope and pray that this stuff is easy to get rid of and easy to keep gone! My poor baby. Yes, I've had my moments today. I've been mad. I've cried. But then I realized that it's out of my control. No need to worry about it...there's nothing I can do except turn it over to God, which is what I am supposed to be doing anyway. Not sure why that is always so difficult to grasp? Reasoning eventually sets in my thick skull and I manage to "turn it around." It's all in God's hands.

Please pray for a safe trip there and back and for good results at UNM.
