Round 2 - 17 days in.

Hey all it Krysten,

So last night after 6 attempts they placed an IV in my neck. Turns out I have a blood clot in my left arm. Looks like Im gonna be on blood thinners for about 3 months but I will be switching over to oral medications after a while. Tomorrow I have my swallow study so please pray that I can pass it, this way I can eat and drink what I want.

Love you all, thank you for all the support and prayers.

A new journey

Hey everyone. 

On Thursday around 2 pm krysten was taken by ambulance to Baltimore Washington medical center for a seizure. Before this she had been complaining of headaches and stomach aches. When she got to the ER they did a CT scan of her abdomen and head when they presented us with what they found it was completely out of left field. Having nothing to do with her CF the test showed a bleed in her brain 1.2x1.8cm in size. They almost immediately put her on a respirator and we had her transferred to Johns Hopkins hospital. After some test that nightly appeared that the bleed was not growing. The next morning she was doing better, answering questions and fallowing commands. They took her off the respirator that morning around 11 am. By about 4pm her condition had slowly deteriorated. They put her back on the respirator and took her for a cerebral angiogram. This checks blood vessels in the brain to make sure they are all functioning well, They found nothing. Now at this time Krysten is still on the respirator, and doctors are doing a EEG. I hope to meet with the doctors soon to find out what the next step is to getting my wife home. I will try to keep this updated as much as possible. Please keep Krysten in your prayers. She is a strong women and I know she can pull through. She knows through her Faith in GOD that He can heal her. It's up to us to ask and praise Him  for all of the blessing in Jesus Name! 

We love you all!

Day 41 at Hopkins, Praise God

Day 41 at johns Hopkins and God continues to show His amazing glory. After everything Krysten has been through here the doctor told us today they are shooting for Tuesday to discharge her.  Slowly they are knocking off the oxygen, and antibiotics. She is walking a lot more, 10 laps today as well as steps. She says tomorrow it will be 11 laps. She gets stronger every day and gets much more active. i know she can’t wait to get home and see everyone. We plan to celebrate her birthday Saturday, and attend the CF walk on Sunday. We continue to praise God for the blessing we have received in all of this. We have grown stronger in our relationship, friends, family, and most important God. Please continue to pray for Krysten as she gets stronger, gains her weight back, and tackles the road to recovery.  In Jesus Name!

We love you all,

Patrick

One more day of healing in JESUS name!

Good evening everyone. It’s Krysten, attempting to get back some of her typing skills.

Today was an amazing day, Praise God. I walked 1250+ steps. Woohoo! And my legs don’t feel quite as much like jello when I stand up either. I got to go on 2 wheelchair rides as well; both were located at the cafeteria to break out some pickles from Subway. :P

I, also, had my picc line placed today. One huge step closer to the door. The doctors have high hopes that maybe in a week I could get out of here. Trust me loves I’m doing everything I can to make this possible. I have my swallow test tomorrow which please pray for….I wanna be able to eat regular food!

 

Patrick is still taking great care of me. He is the best husband a girl could ask for. And as soon as we are out of this storm I can’t wait to call him my own. I love him so much. & I love you all, thank you for your prayers. <3

 

P.S. Thank you for the amazing support of the CF walk. I’m blown away by the amount of donations, Praise God for you all!

 

I love you all,'

Krysten

 

Faith as small as a mustard seed!

Hey everyone,

Its day 27, and we have been convicted with a wonderful blessing in our dear nurse Yelena, She is a blessing as she prayed with us for a full recovery, nausea and slumber in JESUS name. I walked yesterday 180 feet, took a shower and started to get my apatite back. Today, I walked 270 feet with a lot more balance. They put me in for a transfer out of the MICU as soon as a bed in available. Praise GOD for positive steps forward and recovery. The doctor said today in maybe a week I can be discharged so please pray for strength and healing in JESUS name. With faith as small as a mustard seed HE will bring you through, and HE has with HIS amazing Glory. PRAISE GOD!

I love you,

Krysten

HEBREWS 12:12-13

¹² Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees, ¹³ and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed

Walking With the LORD!

Hey everyone,

Sorry I haven’t updated you in a couple days, it has been busy around here. Krysten is doing great today I went to bed at around 4am ad woke up around 7 to her saying ‘’ baby can we play a game” while sitting up and looking at me. I was so excited to see her awake and ready to go. As I said before the past couple days have been really busy, Krysten walked for the first time yesterday, and said this morning she was ready to walk again. She is also getting her appetite back thank the LORD! However she can’t eat anything solid so I know she does not like that. Today is going to bring great things. I know she is going to do great walking and will slowly gain strength.

LORD I thank you and praise you for YOUR glory over Krysten. YOUR Healing and patience FATHER YOU are amazing. I pray that YOU continue to bless us In the name of JESUS! I thank you for our family and friends. For working thru us for YOUR glory In JESUS Name AMEN!

We Love you all

Patrick

Isaiah 40:31(NKJV)

But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint

Krysten First Post!

 

Hey everyone its Krysten this time.

I had all my tubes removed today Praise GOD! And it has been a very long day, but I’m a fighter only by the grace of God J I was told I can eat today, but I haven’t eaten in almost two weeks so I can’t keep anything down. Please pray for my ability to swallow and keep food down. The doctors put me on a regular nasal cannula for breathing. I also stood up today, and Lord willing will be able to start walking a little tomorrow. I am very tired and restless so please pray for rest also. Thanks for all the love and support I hope to talk to everyone soon.

 

I love you all,

Krysten
