My daughter has a brain infection!

Not the news I ever imagined hearing but...

I had a call this afternoon from the couple who are raising my daughter's child to say my 38 y.o. daughter was in the hospital on our Eastern Shore with a brain infection. She has been prone to sinus infections for a long time and this dr finally thought there was more to it, did a cat scan and found that the infection had gone to/was in the brain.

They have been waiting for a bed to open up at the UMD Medical Center in Baltimore as it's beyond the scope of the hospital over there and I expect her to get to Baltimore by 8pm. While the doctors say it can be treated with antibiotics, googling those words certainly put the shivers in me.

This is certainly not what I expected this weekend, but is it ever for this kind of thing? Prayers and good thoughts are greatly appreciated. I know you all have great connections with the One who Makes all Things Possible, each in your own way.

Scrappers are the best people for support! Maureen

Rule #1-- Never ever google medical conditions!! Ah!!

Rule #2-- Just ask your O-fam for good thoughts and praters and you have them.

How is she actually feeling?

Praying for healing for your daughter and peace for everyone who loves her. I agree with Faerywings...stay off the internet. Cast your cares upon Him. He cares for you. The internet doesn't.
