Welcome back! Have you visited our new site, Saving Naturally, where we help you live healthy and spend less?
Me again :)
Thank you all so much for your prayers! I know that God was using them this morning, as I was able to get into the ER with a relatively short wait time, and the doctor who was on call knew just what was wrong with me and exactly how to treat it (I'm not sure that every doctor would have known so precisely what to do with my situation. I will fill in the gaps later, but suffice it to say that I felt God's presence very much throughout the ordeal.
I am feeling MUCH better from the procedure that the doctor did. I am, unfortunately, on antibiotics and have to go to the hospital every 12 hours to receive them through IV because the infection was so severe. I truly feel on the mend, though, just as soon as I have a really good, looooong nap!
I'll be back in a day or so... thanks everyone!
With love,
Stephanie

Did you have strep throat? Just wondering because I just got over that, too! I've never had it before, so I just thought I had a very sore throat. I didn't know it could make you that sick! Once I started having fevers of 103 F, my husband (an ER nurse) did a rapid strep test and sent me to get a bicillin shot. I HATE taking medicine, but I was so glad I got that shot!! I felt SO much better after about 2 days...
SO sorry you're sick, Steph!! It's so hard when you have little ones, too. They have a hard time understanding about mom being sick... Here's hoping and praying you get well soon! --Phebe

Praise God! It is great to be able to use natural remedies for the majority of illnesses, but I think it is wonderful that God gave us amazing minds that can develop antibiotics to help our immune systems for those extra severe infections.

You and your family have been in my heart all day! Thank you so much for the update, now get some rest.
[Reply]
Rest well, if and when you can. Praying that the little ones will be "big" helpers to you as you mend.
[Reply]
I'm very relieved that you are on the mend. My spouse has been on 24 hour IV antibiotics on a pump twice before. It's a pain to wear it but much better than being in the hospial.
REST UP and take care!

Been thinking about you and was glad to get an update! I'll keep praying.

Keep hanging in there! I'm encouraged by your recent posts and by what your husband said - there is such joy in salvation and how awesome that we have been able to experience that grace! Praying you enjoy His grace as you rest and continue to get well.
