Jennifer and Jack SUNDAY UPDATE

[Bonnie and Kona]

From Facebook:

Thank You God and for everyone who prayed and sent well wishes . We now have a pretty good idea that the source of infection is coming from my heart...also I have positive blood cultures in my port as well as my regular blood stream!!! I can handle anything as long as I knew what it was...there are some complications because I have a new closure device in my heart as well as I am on Plavix so taking the port out is going to be a challenge...if possible at all right now! Fevers are still high, not well controlled with advil or Tylenol but I am on the atomic bomb of antibiotics and I believe I will get better. Your overwhelming love, support and prayers have been my glue..and soon...hopefully I will be able to transfer care back..but will be here until I am stable....with my Addison disease, fever free, and the infection is well controlled, I am moved out of hotel and my amazing friend Susan Rish offered to fly home with me if I need help! I may be here another week or so who knows. I am grateful, so grateful a few more months of antibiotics is nothing, MY CF is very stable, my heart though infected is closed up, and when I get through this bump, I will be moving forward and back to life!!!!!! I can do this because of Gods abundant grace in giving me all of you! thank you from the bottom of my and my families heart to Christine Phillips and the Paw Pad Puppies and all my friends for raising funds, as you know I was only supposed to be here two weeks, now here well over a month and have to come back in June !!!!!!!

Sunday afternoon from Facebook:

So they have to take port out. All cultures from arm and port are growing bacteria on three different days, from six different sites. The surgeons are not in agreement about stopping my Plavix ...we need wisdom again as I can not get port out without holding it for a few days and the closure device to cover my hole in heart is less then a week old! The infection is in my joints and it hurts!

Your joints hurt?  Really? You are too funny.  You must hurt all over, just that much fever hurts.  You are one tough cookie, Jennifer.  Attitude is everything and you chose a great one.  So just keep hanging tough.  You seem to be in excellent hands.  We love you and pray for you.
