Asking for prayers… (cross-posted)
July 31st, 2008 by Del
I’m asking for prayers for my best friend Renee and her daughter Aubrey who has been sick for the last 12 days now. It started out with a stomach ache that lasted about 7-8 days and that was the only thing she complained about, then in the last 4-5 days it has gotten significantly worse to the point where she can’t eat and has lost so much weight now that she’s weak and frail and needs carrying to just use the bathroom
The doctors took some blood work from her earlier this week and still no real diagnosis other than it was either salmonella poisoning or a parasite… they weren’t sure. Renee and I had been talking about it for the last week that we thought maybe it was a parasite, but now it’s gotten SO much worse since our talk on Monday that it’s becoming a HIGH possibility that maybe that is what’s causing it. David got a call from my friend asking for help since he works at the clinic and I think he was able to get her back in today because all Aubrey is doing is having bowel movements that are nothing but liquid and battling fevers as well… whatever she has is slowly but surely getting worse now. She hasn’t eaten in about 6 days now and just yesterday her dad was able to get a toaster strudel in her, but only to have it come right back out in liquid form that same morning. Her son isn’t sick and is in perfectly good condition so we honestly don’t think it’s salmonella poisoning, we just really hope the doctors can tell her something or refer her to MUSC for treatment and further testing to see what is causing it.
Haley’s sad because this is her best friend and she wants to play with her and knows she can’t because she’s that sick, I wanted to go over there to show my support but I’m afraid of how Haley will react to seeing Aubrey so ill… she’s VERY emotional and like me extremely sensitive to what others are feeling.
Please please please say a prayer for her, I love this girl almost as if she were my own and my best friend Renee feels so helpless and distraught over it
She asked her mom and grandma this morning if she was going to die and that just served to make every single one of us cry… she’s really scared now the poor thing ![]()
We’re going to pick up some flowers and a card for her in the hopes that it at least cheers her up somewhat and Haley’s drawing a picture for her to let her know she loves and cares about her and wants her to get better soon.
