9-1-06, I got an email from BBS early today. I'm going to share it with you all because I know she has made other close friends on this board. Please continue PRAYING FOR BBS; she needs all our healing thoughts/prayers. She's 20 or 21 so life is just beginning for her.
Betty,
Thank you for your emails and PM. Even more endless thank yous for your prayers and support!
We found out from the doctor that he did not think I would make it through the last infection and was very worried . Not the greatest news to hear.
I haven't had much energy since that infection and have continued to have sinus problems and increased pain. Pain increases with infection.
Sinuses have gotten alot worse this week, so the doctor went ahead and put me on an antibiotic. I am doing a nasal spray too, and we had hoped that would get rid of the infection, but my body wasn't able to fight it off with just that.
The decision was made to use antibiotics instead of waiting out of fear that it would progress as it did before and I would end up with a severe respiratory infection.
That would be too much for my body right now. So hopefully this antibiotic will do the trick!
I hope you are doing well and enjoying your summer! It is suddenly much cooler here, due to the hurricane.
The change in temperature was SO fast...from 90s to 60s that it has been a bit much for my body. A bit surprised at that, but I think it's because it changed so fast and not gradually.
I hope I have spaced this, so you can read it. I will email and post when energy allows. I do try to read everyday, even on bad days. I miss some days, but can at least scan some most days. Take care! Blackbirdsings **************************** Bettyg

Dear Blackbirdsings,
You have been on my mind, so I was pleased to see Betty's update.
But not to hear that you have been so sick and had such a hard time kicking this infection! I am really sorry and will keep the prayers coming. Are you still going to med center in CO?
