Friends.
Marci is not well. She went from 100% to about 5% in relation to mental capacity in about 2 hours around noon Saturday. She is in ICU in critical condition.
A quick road trip to New Braunfels to celebrate Kira’s birthday has turned into an unexpected drama.
Around 6 PM last night they came through with the preliminary diagnosis- Meningitis. At this time, they think that is the less ‘bad’ viral type, but they are still making sure. In their words, they have never seen a manifestation of this condition the way that Marci exhibited. She went down quickly with none of the usual symptoms. Her vital signs are normal, but she is not lucid and has discomfort at the slightest stimulus and can only express this with limited range of motion and short heart breaking cries.
So far, no change overnight.
Needless to say, I and the members of our extended families are scared, but hopeful. We are under voluntary quarantine for a few days. Luckily, this happened right before party guests started to arrive, so Marci did not have direct contact with that many people (it is contagious). And we are hoping the Kira is not a vector to all the other little ones that came. All of us are fine so far (knock wood). And Kira had a wonderful birthday party thanks to the fam.
What can you do? Pray and send good thoughts our way. Please- I love you guys, but do not send e-mail best wishes. When I do get online, I will probably want that as some escape. You guys are great and I know your thoughts will be with us.
I’ll provide updates as I can. I do not have admin rights yet after a PC reimage and we will have to see if I can get online easily or not.
Feel free to forward on. There are a ton of folks at work and outside of it that I will have missed.
