My daughter has a brain infection

[maureenreynolds]

I had a call this afternoon from the couple who are raising my daughter's child to say my 38 y.o. daughter was in the hospital on our Eastern Shore with a brain infection. She has been prone to sinus infections for a long time and this dr finally thought there was more to it, did a cat scan and found that the infection had gone to/was in the brain.

They have been waiting for a bed to open up at the UMD Medical Center in Baltimore as it's beyond the scope of the hospital over there and I expect her to get to Baltimore by 8pm. While the doctors say it can be treated with antibiotics, googling those words certainly put the shivers in me.

This is certainly not what I expected this weekend, but is it ever for this kind of thing? Prayers and good thoughts are greatly appreciated. I know you all have great connections with the One who Makes all Things Possible, each in your own way.

Thanks for being here. Maureen

Oh Maureen, what a worry for you! Those words do sound quite scary. I will certainly be sending prayers and healing thoughts your way for your daughter and for you and your peace of mind. Keep us posted.

Oh Maureen that sounds scary - my thoughts and prayers are with you!

Sometimes I look up and say, "Do you think maybe you could spread it out a little better?" I'm sorry, Maureen. Dare I say, Don't Google? My doctor's wives friends say that when you google medical stuff you just add to your worry and stress. Don't borrow trouble, Maureen. Breath and take it one day at a time. I know I don't have to tell you this because you are an old pro, so to speak. Good luck and you know we will all be here thinking of you and your family.

Oh Maureen. I'm so very sorry. Here's more positive energy being sent your way. No more Google is my vote as well. It's great for general questions but the specifics are outside the scope of Dr. Google.
