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♥
Praying for you!! Luv you both!! (:

Karina and Annika,
ReplyDeleteBless you girls! Annika, thanks so much for the update. We are fervently praying for Karina and your entire family. We believe in a great big God who can do so much more than we even imagine. We are praying for healing and peace. We are also praying that God will protect you all from evil and that you will all be sheltered under His wing. My girls are praying for you constantly and wait expectantly for the amazing things God will do. We love you girls and your family. God bless you!
Love, Kari and the Price family
We are also fervently praying for Karina...and for your entire family and will continue to do so. Tomorrow morning early, there will be a men's prayer group praying for you here in Gig Harbor.
