Dear friends,
Melissa’s fever continued for 6 days (above 105F), before it normalized on July 27.
On Monday noon, July 28, Melissa had two surgeries. One was to remove the shunt in her brain, due to bacterial infection. Lab results show her brain and trachea area are okay now.
Praise the Lord, the antibiotics worked, so for the past 5 days, blood and brain fluid lab results were negative.
Tomorrow morning, August 4 at 10:30 a.m., Melissa will have her 14th surgery. This time the doctors will put in a new shunt (her third).
On Wednesday, August 6, her medical team will meet discuss Melissa case. During this meeting they will finalize her heart valve replacement schedule. Following that, she will have surgery to replace her skull (removed early in her treatment to allow her brain to swell without creating too much pressure against her skull).
Please continue to pray for Melissa. Ask God to strengthen her body so she can tolerate so many surgeries and medications. Ask the Holy Spirit to anoint her with a joyful spirit; that she may understand that God has wonderful plan in her life.
May His name be glorified!
In Love,
Michael
