Special prayers needed for Abby

Just got off of the phone with Kelly. Abby has a yeast infection (fungal infection) in her blood. Yeast tends to attack any foreign object it encounters in the body and the fear is that it will attack Abby's pick line, the line that delivers her nutrients her medicine...everything. If the pick line is removed then Abby will have to have multiple IV lines that only last 3-4 days each. Also, there is the possiblility that the yeast could enter the spinal fluid which would mean the resevoir would have to be removed from her head & then she would have to be manually tapped again, which is not good.

They are still waiting to hear if she has a staph infection too (bacteria infection) - hopefully she does not because the antibiotics she is taking for the yeast infection may encourage the bacteria to flourish from the staph infection. Kelly & Ryan will know within the next 24-48 hours the status of the yeast and staph infection.

Kelly wanted this posted right now so we can all pray for Abby.
