Thank you very much!

Friday is THE big day, with just so much hanging on this surgery for her quality of life as a person, wife and mother, but also for all our lives. We've ALL had to manage this illness.

Please continue to pray. Just last night I began to come down with strep. This virus that's carried infection to ears, throat or both has now gone through son-in-law, daughter and baby. I now have strep from it and pray that David doesn't get it.

I've started on Keflex tonight so I pray that it will begin to work quickly so that I can be what I need to be. I have alot to do before the big day too. Fever is maintaining for the most part, between 100 and 101.

If I don't feel alot better tomorrow night or have some indication that the antibiotics are working, I'm going to go to urgent care for a shot. My family dr. told me years ago that the strep I get is very resistant to antibiotics and that I should *always* get a shot of rocephin right off the bat.

I hope I caught this early enough. I had no choice but to address it. The pain is already horrible in throat, neck and ears. I do NOT want this strep to "settle" anywhere. I've had that happen before and it takes so much longer to feel better.

Please continue to keep us in your thoughts and prayers and I'll keep you updated.

I thank you so much.
