Hi! Great to see everyone! This is Brett. On Friday, Michelle flew back from Memphis and got back safely into San Diego. She was seated between two 400 lb women, so the nice stewardess moved her to 1st class(she will tell you all the details later). I got home from work and took her to the Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas, room 105. I could tell she was running a fever and felt really hot. Traffic was bad on the 5(the major highway here), but we made it.
Through an IV, she got some anti-nausea drugs, anti-biotics, and pain killers. She has lots of pain from a kidney infection, mostly on the right side. We spent the night at the hospital and the night nurse was really nice. She and Michelle are almost BFF(that is Best Friends Forever). Michelle wants to set her up with Scott, my Marine brother who lives out here. Too bad he deploys in a few weeks. :(
After an ultrasound and a visit by Michelle's OBGYN, we were told that she has a severe kidney infection and will have an off and on fever with chills for a few days. She will be staying at the hospital until she goes 72 hours without a spike in her temperature. The major problem is that Michelle's blood pressure spikes high when she has a fever and consequently that causes the baby's blood pressure to spike.
She will be here at least until Tuesday night. Fortunately, there is a TV in the room so we can watch the Baby channel or the Little League World Series (a local CA team won this year).
Please pray for Michelle's health, her kidney infection, and the health of the baby.
