Drawing from Drew

3-14-16 Part 2

Thank you all for your prayers!! God shows us he is faithful!! The doctor came in to tell us that there had been a clerical error, and the resistance pattern of the infection was not in fact the case!!! We still have Klebsiella Pneumonial, but it is not the antibiotic resistant strain!! Praise God! They should be able to treat it with the "normal" antibiotics, and have taken us off 2 of the "heavy gun" antibiotics we were already on. Tomorrow morning they will know more and probably switch us to a different antibiotic. The cultures taken in Rochster still have not grown any bacteria, so it is possible that the infection is already responding well to the antibiotics we've been on. They give them 48 to grow anything before declaring them negative, and two negative cultures clears us of infection. With this development they say we may not have to be hospitalized the full 7-10 days, we could finish some of the treatment at home. How great would it be to be home for Easter after all? I won't get my hopes up, but we can pray ;)

Thank you all for your prayers!! It really is helping Drew!
