Karina Jean

Dear family & friends,

Yesterday, April 26th, 2010, our sweet Karina went home to be with Jesus. Our brave girl fought hard until the end, and now she truly is healed. She will be greatly missed; the best daughter, sister, and friend. A celebration of her life will be held Saturday, May 8th, at Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church (Gig Harbor) at 3pm. Everyone is welcome!

Thank you so much for all your prayers, love, & support.

Love,
the Robertson Family

Hospital Continued, April 9

Hello All,

It's Annika here, writing for Karina.

It's been a while since the last update, so here's what's happened since March 24th:

Saturday after Karina was admitted at TG, she had another chest X-Ray taken which revealed bacterial pneumonia in her left lung. She is on several antibiotics to stop it from progressing, and now we are waiting for her white blood cells and other counts to bounce back so she can fight this on her own. As of this morning, her white count is .03...she has a long way to go. She's been on and off of oxygen for the last two weeks, right now she is on. She really wants to come home, so please pray for a speedy recovery! In the last two days her low potassium level has become an issue. We switched to a different room on a new floor so her heart can be monitored while she receives large doses of potassium. It was scary at first, but so far it's going smoothly. She is still having fevers, and needs to start eating more. Her appetite is definitely coming back (tonight we're having terriyaki, yum!), just pray she can keep it down! She is feeling a little better now than when we first got here.

So things to pray for are...

• blood counts to go up
• fevers to stop
• potassium levels to go up
• appetite
• go home, pronto!

Thank you all so much for you prayers, love, & support.

Love,

Annika & Karina♥
