Becky's sick again

Got a FB update. Please keep Becky in your prayers, thoughts and hearts and she fights another battle.

Hate to bring you bad news again but, once again, I know Becky would like her MedHelp group to know.

Here's what my sister Amy posted and I think she puts it best.
"Please pray for my sister Becky. She is back in hospital and very sick with a bowel infection (c defficile). They cannot operate because of the infection and are trying to keep it from spreading to her kidneys. She is very weak and has a big fight ahead of her. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers."

Thank you!
Ashley

I wish we could all be there and wrap our love around Becky and Deandra both. This is very hard to read. I just pray everyday for a miracle and I think about little Ty and it breaks my heart. Sending out much love,

I haven't heard a word about Deandra lately. That's not a good sign. I'm so thankful to Ashley for sending notes as often as she can. She lets Becky know that everyone here is thinking of her. Even though the news isn't always upbeat, it still helps to be in touch, almost like being there even if we can't be there physically.

It is just so unfair!  Becky need to be here for Ty.  She has endured so much pain and I am so sad to hear this latest update.  Becky and Deandra were both so young when they were diagnosed.  This is a really sad time to be losing them both!

I just got back from being away from a pc for over 3 weeks, this is not the news I was hoping to see, my heart breaks for Becky and Deandra, so young, here I sit at 80 and see this happening to them, they both are such dear girls, I treasure them so much, they were with me all the way through it with leslee,  the one thing that I hold on too,  is that they are both fighters and have shared their lives with all of us, a life that has been full of love and compassion for others,  I still pray that God will grant  them miracles   Marty

I wish I could share another sweet happy moment but the note wasn't so good this time. I know we never can predict how much time any of us have and sometimes we feel like we're riding some cosmic yo-yo. Great moments that bring us joy and hope; other moments when we slip into the darkest thoughts. Today is not an UP day. Here's what was just passed on to me:

Another quick update - just about to head back to the hospital.
I think her time is nearing - I know she's fighting so hard right now.
Its so hard to think of her so full of life a couple weeks ago and now to be writing this.
I told her I've been updating you guys and you could tell she was trying to say something back to me.
Love, Ashley

I'll be praying that she'll get a little snap and ride that string to the top again.

Irene, thank you for these updates on Becky. It just makes my heart ache for her and for Ty and all her family. There really are no words to say, but I am thankful that for her family, she has her spunky sense of humor still. That must bring them some comfort. Sending her lots of love and prayers,
Colleen

Ashley sent a note saying she spent the night at Becky's bedside in the hospital. Seems Becky still has trouble breathing. Sometimes she's talkative, sometimes not. Ashley played a couple of her favorite movies while she was there. Even though she wasn't real responsive, you never know if she might be hearing it all. My Dad was like that. He loved the TV show Three and a Half Men. Looked like he was sound asleep but then would suddenly laugh at a funny part. :-)

Seems Becky's Mom offered her a drink and she popped back, "Yeah, a Coors Light." So Becky still has her sense of spunk and humor.

I just came in to make sure all the ladies new what was happening with Becky! I am so worried I just keep checking everywhere for news... you dont want to keep asking as her family have enough on their plates.

You have made my day I was only just thinking I wonder if Ty has been able to see her - I am so warmed by the news that they have spent some time together. How lovely of you to bring something nice to the table I want to give you a massive squeeze for that :)

Lots of love to you all as always Xxxxxx

Last night in my exhausted fog I posted a note about Becky under Deandra's update. I'm sorry. It seems Becky has pneumonia. Looking back now I wonder if it wasn't a blood clot after all but the start of pneumonia. Hmm. If I had to choose, pnuemonia is easier to treat. Clots are downright scary.

A touch of good news, Ashley said that little Ty got to visit with Becky and they had a nice time together. I can picture the smiles and love filling the room.

My mum had this infection after her bowel obstruction op in Dec. She was very poorly for 4 weeks and is still recovering from it now. She lost 4 stone because of the infection. Keep fighting Becky.
