She's home. As you can see she's doing better. The doctors tell us that it will be months before she's fully recovered. She's having a very good night. The best one this week.

We got a call from her doctor that they found things in her spinal fluid that indicate that she had a strep infection. A strep infection in the spinal cord is meningitis - very bad - that's not what she has thank God. However it's possible for the remnants of this infection to cause her delirium, along with other symptoms that wouldn't be apparent in her such as decreased coordination and blurred vision - she already has those.

 

The good news is it's very treatable with steroids and antibiotics. She started the antibiotic this evening and we see the neurologist for the steroid later this week. Best case scenario is the first course of steroids does it and she's well on her way to normal in two weeks. Worst case is two months.

 

Today was a bad day because it's the first time that she has indicated that she is aware that something is wrong. That part is heart breaking. When I put her to bed I had to assure her that she will still like baseball. She's crying about that right now. It's tearing me up.

Glad to hear it's not as serious as could be. But I know it had to tear you up to see her upset. I'm sure there's a quote or scene from Terance Mann in Field of Dreams that make her relaize baseball will be there for her when she's ready to cheer for it again.

 

Tell her the power of MGS is behind her.

As an update Penn saw the pediatrician yesterday. Her condition causes her to have no filters and she used language that would more indicative of her brother the sailor. Her doctor noted that the language was contextually appropriate which means that she's recovering as expected. She was also concerned about her summer home work last night. We are a ways off but moving in the right direction. The side effects of enough antibiotics to cure a horse are nasty but mild compared to the delirium that they are reversing. It looks like they've got the right diagnosis. Of course the bills are now coming in ---- yikes

Thanks guys I really do appreciate the concern and prayers. We have a professional grant writer in the. Congregation who is doing a go fund me page. I will let you know when it's set up. This illness has raised awareness about the cost of a child's chronic condition for a middle class family. Lots of people assume that a child like Penny gets free health care and a monthly social security check. Nothing could be further from the truth. It goes by my income which is okay which means we get nothing in regards to assistance for her. This is a back breaker.

 

Enough of that.

 

Penny continues to improve - each of the last two days have been far and away her best. She and Kersti came to church last night. She's starting to recognize people's names and stuff associated with them. Today we are trying a Rays game after church (we have a little six game flex plan).

 

Two huge follow up doctors appointments this week. Her pediatrician and my wife's doctor have both said that a course of steroids will help speed her recovery. The neurologist would order that and we see her Monday morning.

Huge progress today! Penny could not type two days ago. She did a full paragraph today.

 

She's on the computer catching up on her favorite baseball players. She's very excited to see that the Brewers are still in first. She's basically lost the entire past month. Hardly remember anything. I'm hoping that happens to me too.
