Jillian was admitted to the hospital on Saturday morning. She came home from college on Friday evening because she hasn't been feeling well and wanted to rest this weekend at home. When she woke up on Saturday morning she had a fever and looked very pale and run down. Jillian has a history of severe bleeding associated with ulcerative colitis. After a quick trip to the pediatrician she sent us over to the hospital for blood work and other tests. We've been here since.
They think there is something else going on besides the UC. Her fever keeps spiking very high 103 to 104 and they're searching for an underlying infection. At this point she hasn't really eaten since Monday or Tuesday and everything she does eat immediately comes out the other end so she isn't getting any nutritional benefit. In order to get her protein/albumin, potassium levels back up to safe levels they're going to need to put her on a feed tube tonight.
Prayers would be appreciated.

Sending healing thoughts to Jillian
How are you holding up?
Are you doing this solo or did Frank not go on his trip?

Cathy,
Cathy,
My thoughts are with you and Jillian through this ordeal.
Cathy,
I just saw this!
So glad Frank didn't have to go out of town, Cathy. I can just imagine how miserable he would have been in London, knowing what was going on at home.
Thanks for the update. We'll keep you all close in our thoughts & prayers.
