Need prayers and positive thoughts

Posted : 2/13/2012 11:34:36 AM

I dont post much but I need some prayers today. My husbands 25 year old cousin was perfectly healthy a few days ago. Now she is in ICU with her kidneys failing and a blood pressure of 61/48 and a massive infection, they say she is septic. They just told her mom to contact the red cross to get her brother home from the military base he is stationed at in cuba. It doesnt look good. Her name is Jen

I would appreciate any prayers and positive thoughts thanks guys

I had to put this up for someone on the IMHA page as well -- it was a **very** difficult weekend for many people somehow. Will surely be praying for this lady.

Thank you guys.. Her blood pressure is still very low. They have been able to figure out what caused the infection, she had a kidney stone that couldnt pass and that caused the infection because of everything backing up. She is still intubated and they are pushing a lot of meds because of the infection.

Sending strong, healing vibes to Jen and to all her family. I hope her young age, along with the expertise of her medical team, will help her beat the infection and reach a full recovery.

Hey I came back to see if there was an update, and there is! This sounds promising, finding the cause. Continued prayers for Jen, and her family immediate and extended. Goodness they must feel they are in a nightmare.

I was watching for an update and now I could do another candle with Jen's name. Erin, let her know we're all praying. Sometimes that is SO powerful -- to know that people you don't even KNOW are lifting you up. Not only is it powerful "prayer and good thots" but it is incredibly encouraging for someone who is so sick.

And low blood pressure is FAR better than high -- usually with renal problems you see HIGH blood pressure and that can sent it totally spiraling out of control. Low bp is worrisome yes, but she can come back from that. Especially since we're all lifting her up!! I-Dog prayers and good thots ARE powerful *smile*
