FIRST AIRPLANE RIDE FOR JULIA

5/10-Sunday a.m.
Dear friends,
Julia had her first ambulance & airplane trips!! We found out Saturday afternoon that the hospital in Atlanta was planning to life flight her to Atlanta. We thought helicopter, but they flew a plane to our airport in T'ville. They transported her by ambulance from Archbold to the airport, then by plane to Atlanta, then ambulance again to Egleston. WOW!!! William, Melissa, and children, my parents, Dawn, Chris, Kristen, & Catherine Mulford came to see us off! I think at this point all they plan to do is continue her course of i.v. antibiotics, do another blood culture, and if no other fever, they we will have our appointment in the morning as planned. They also need to see that her blood counts are coming back up. They may release us shortly after that, but I'm not sure at this point. Julia's blood pressure has been running quite high, and we will be addressing that more this morning. Hopefully, our next blog post will be from home. :)
As always, thank you for your continued prayers.
Love,
Sharon

  1. I didn't get my first ambulance ride until I was 32 years old, Julia! You're a step ahead of lots of people, I bet. We arepraying that eberything takes a turn for the better. I am sorry you have been sick and sure hope that, with all the other people praying for you, you can just feel our love and prayers like a great, big hug! I am sure the doctors are all doing their very best for you. Tell you mama and daddy I know they are doing every thing just right, too, and you will have a better week this week. I sure will be praying, especially tomorrow, that things go well. Take care, Julia :)
