Sorry for the Delay, She's OK

Sorry this comes almost two weeks since the release. But, Kori was only kept in the MICU for one night (right next door to her room from the first time in the MICU). The next day they "downgraded" her to a regular floor room in Acute Internal Medicine-B. She stayed Thursday and Friday (we got to see all the best fireworks shows from her hospital window; the kids and I also stayed the night) and then she was released on Friday 5 July 2014.

Thank you all for your prayers and faith. I know they helped her heal in record time.

Wow! This Update Came Fast!

Fast Turn-Around

When Kori started showing symptoms of illness on Tuesday and then slipped into the point where I called 911 yesterday, I was not expecting a turn-around to happen this quickly. Last night, through a fast application of fluids (which did not have to be forced into her this time just to keep her blood pressure up) and antibiotics, she seems to have come almost all the way back.

So, the doctors and nurses in the MICU are saying that, probably later this afternoon or early evening, she can transfer to a step-down floor where she will probably only stay a day or two more before returning home.

As a side note, she will probably finish losing her left pinky toe in the next few days. Of all her necrotic toes, this seems to be the only one that will fully auto-amputate. The rest of the toes' necrotic flesh seems only to be serving as cocoons for the new toe growth. With this being the case, she hopes to start walking again by the end of the year or beginning of next.

Your prayers and faith are appreciated and felt. Thank you all.

Back in MICU

As many of you know, my lovely wife was admitted to the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) at the University of Utah Hospital last October with severe septic shock. Well, she is back here again, with similar symptoms. It does not look like the shock is as bad. And they're letting me stay the night this time around. I am grateful that she is still here with us. And, provided all goes well, she won't be staying as long this time in the MICU and will be able to get to rehab where they can work to help her get her leg strength back. Please keep her in your prayers and you can ping me tomorrow for details. Love to you all.
