Gracie Lou


Hey everyone. I wanted to let everyone know what is going on with Gracie. She has been sick for over a week. Running a fever of 102 or higher. Thursday morning she was still sick, but no fever. She asked Jill for help up to go to the bathroom. Jill helped her stand up and she fell to the floor.

Jill called the nurse for Kaiser and she instructed Jill to take her straight to the hospital. Thursday they did a CT Scan and it was clear. Then they did a spinal tap, and that was clear. There is an infection in her body. (besides the tonsils and sinuses that she was having problems with already).

The blood results tell them that there is an infection somewhere in either her heart, lungs, other major organs or soft muscle tissue. She is still unable to walk or even stand up. She is at Memorial Hospital in room 318.

She is very scared and very sad. She kind of hallucinates with the fevers. She doesn't want anyone to touch her, including Jill and myself. These are scary scary times. Jill is really having a hard time. She needs some support.

They are keeping her until they figure out what is wrong. She is still running fevers, but not as high as when she was at home, before the medication given to her for the sinuses and the tonsils.

Please keep Gracie and Jill in your prayers. I am going to try my hardest to keep updates on here about Gracie.

Love you all!
