The docs identified the bacteria: abiotrophia. They are waiting to verify that this variant of strep is susceptible to the antibiotic treatments she is receiving. She should be discharged if test results reflect this tomorrow (Monday) morning. The plan is to do 4-6 weeks of at-home Penicillin G and Tobramycin treatments through the PICC in her arm. Further echocardiograms will be done at the end of this period to monitor for severe mitral valve regurgitation that could lead to heart failure in the future.
We are asking God to completely heal the valve so that surgery is not necessary. Also, we continue to hear of more people each day who are praying for us and we are convinced that we could not have made it to this point of our journey without your prayers. God is so faithful. Thanks, again and again. We’ll continue to keep you posted.
To Lindsi and Stephen-
ReplyDeleteI am praying for a full and fast recovery. I am glad to hear that they have identified an organism so the right antibiotic therapy can be administered. I am covering you in prayer Lindsi... say strong sister. God is good, all the time, everywhere.
Love,
Cammy
