Getting admitted

Kerissa • Aug 27, 2020

Hi friends, just wanted to let you know that the IV D10 infusions that I received for 5 days hasn’t helped this mito crash unfortunately, so my primary care dr. is directly admitting me to the hospital tonight. OHSU is filled to capacity sadly, so I’m getting admitted to Hillsboro Medical Center (which has recently joined/partnered with OHSU).

Here are a few things I’m thankful to the Lord for:

1) HMC has all private rooms so that means I don’t have to share one

2) my primary care dr. is so compassionate and caring and has been trying his hardest to help me feel better

3) the hospital pharmacy carries IV N-Acetyl Cysteine and Glutathione which are both antioxidants (we’ve been wanting to try these meds to see if it can help pull me out of this crash).

4) so grateful I don’t have to go to the ER and instead can be directly admitted

Thank you so much for your love and prayers, and I will try to keep you posted.❤This hospital stay will definitely be different as only 1 visitor is allowed per day due to covid. My doctors, physical therapists, and I all think it doesn’t make sense since people are allowed to keep protesting.🙁

Hi, friends, I had a whole other post ready to go with some good news, but instead, I have an urgent prayer request. I started experiencing sudden onset numbness, tingling, and weakness in my whole left leg, and it’s been so scary. 🥺 It just came on out of the blue. I was doing so well with physical therapy each week (able to walk fast on the treadmill and leg press 40 lbs), and now, I have to limp because my left leg is soo weak. I really want to avoid the ED as much as possible, so I saw one of my doctors today. She’s concerned I’m having a big motor nerve issue. 😭 The plan is to see a physical medicine specialist, have a nerve conduction study, get an urgent MRI done, as well as see my PCP and pain doctor on the 25th and 29th for further evaluation/testing. I know I already said this, but it really has been so scary to lose function so quickly. Can you pray that I will trust the Lord and not worry? It’s been very hard, so I’d really appreciate your prayers and support in the coming weeks. Thank you so much. ❤️
