[Oasfaa] Vicki Hendrickson

[Emerson, Kristina K]

Hello,
It seems that the doctors believe Vicki has/had the Epstein-Barr virus.
Most 
people know this virus being related to Mono. It also has been related
to 
stuff like chronic fatigue syndrome, Hodgkins disease, and different 
lymphomas. The virus can mess with any organ(heart,lung,liver, and
kidneys). 
The doctor said this may have contributed to a lot of what Vicki is
going 
through. Fortunately, most of the sharp, bothersome pain has gone away.
She 
still has her moments. Right now, the the 2 things Vicki is having
problems 
with is the nausea/vomiting and her kidney function. The kidney 
function(urine production) is still not where it needs to be so she is
on a 
diuretic to help this. The nausea/vomiting is what is wearing Vicki out
as 
you would expect. Please keep praying that Vicki can get back to 100%.
Hope this answers some questions.  
  FYI, her room # has changed to 1442.  

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers!!!!  I also want to thank
you for showering her with cards and emails...she is in awe of how many
she has received!!!

Thank you!
Kristi
