Bacterial Infection - C. Diff

Ferdousi will be in the hospital for a few days at least.  Further tests show that she has a bacterial infection called C. Difficile (see http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/c-difficile/DS00736).  It causes some very uncomfortable and painful symptoms.  Today when the nurses asked her to rate her pain on a scale of 1 to 10, she didn't hesitate - it was a 10 she said.  This is the same bacterial infection that Ferdousi had in January/February and was hospitalized for in Minnesota.  She's receiving antibiotics and by the mercy of God will get better in a few days.  I feel so completely helpless being so far away - not being able to help my sister or my parents.  Please keep my sister in your prayers.

  2. Ferdousi, there is one good thing about this. You have been down this road already and you know you can get back. I am wishing for your quick return home.

    Take care, Neda.

  3. what a beautiful smile-

    unbelievable.

    c-diff. i wish i could think of that as my nom de guerre/plume as some rapper/assassin
    blasting all the misplaced hate and hunger against what is lovely and alive. but you know,
    it's a impulse like so much else, mindless. it will never know what i can tell you today, and if we can connect again next week, what i would tell you again, i love you and find gladness in having met you.
