Linda has been been admitted to LDS Hospital. Here is what we know as of today.
  • Her kidneys have completely shut down and she’s already had a couple of dialysis treatments. Upon arrival at LDS hospital last night, they relocated her dialysis shunt from her groin to the right side of her neck in preparation for her up to receive constant dialysis treatment instead of the periodic treatment that you would normally receive. They’re thinking this will help reduce the buildup of any toxins between treatments while her body’s fighting this infection.
  • She’s still unconscious, in critical condition, and on total life support.
  • Her incision from her 4-hour surgery yesterday has been left open so that the swelling and infection can subside before they can close it properly. They plan on taking her back in to surgery in an hour or so to irrigate and clean her abdominal cavity and incision from further infection and pus. Her current doctors also suspect that her enlarged uterus was not the cause of the infection so they are hoping to find the source during surgery.
  • She is suffering from a severe strep infection.
  • Her heart is functioning at 50% of normal capacity
  • She had a 107 degree temperature yesterday but it has subsided to a 102-103 level today.
  • Her coloring and skin temperature is much better today.
  • She has yawned/moved her mouth for the first time within the last hour.
We know that Linda has a long road ahead of her but for now we are hopeful. We are grateful for all of your thoughts and continued prayers.
