CJ update

CJ was resting. They say--one of her doctors says that when she got the respitory infection and started the antibiotics, instead of the body's natural antibodies attacking the infection they started attacking the immune system instead. These are the abnormal spots in her brain on the MRI...they say the nerves up there have a white coating on them and her immune system is eating the white coating off the nerves and it shouldn't be.

They are keeping her sedated, pumping her full of antibiotic, anti-viral meds and steroids. Her oxygen level had dropped some today so they put her on oxygen. She woke up a couple of times and tried to talk but her mouth was so dry she couldn't be understood except for when she said, I can't right now. We don't know what she couldn't right now, but we understood it. She also said something about Tylertown, but again, we don't know what.

She has a neurologist, a gastrologist and a regular doctor and I know they aren't spelled correctly. But I don't care. LOL They say she will get well, it will just take a while.
