Poor Little Jaime-Loo

So, for those of you who have heard, Jaime (my little sis)is in the hospital in Idaho Falls, ID. Here is kind of a "quick" run down of what is going on...she went to the hospital last thursday because she was having really sharp pains in her side and the pain had lasted for a couple days, so she figured she should go get it checked out. she checked in at rexburg memorial and they transported her to idaho falls ICU right away. at first all the doctors thought was wrong was she had a kidney stone...which by it's self sucks, but that wasn't the only problem. she also had developed infections in her kidneys and other large organs which was causing her vidal sign to pretty much go haywire! The doctors were also detecting toxins in her blood stream which is quite deadly! so at this point we were all pretty scared. the good news is after a more recent blood tests, they could no longer detect any toxins!! talk about the power of prayer! the doctors were able to remove the kidney stone and there are no more....but then we were left wondering why she still isn't getting better. she can't eat, sleep, or even breath on her own. Leave it to good old Kim Gardner (who just happened to be in Idaho) to do some investigating. she found out something that the doctors weren't telling us. we all thought that Jaime still had a good functioning kidney, but her other kidney had died probably years ago because it was all dried up. so now we were worring even more because now we know she only has one kidney and that is the one that is failing on her. here we are almost a week later and we still don't know why she is not getting better. all the doctors do is run test on her everyday. the most recent thing the doctors are testing for is to see if she has any immune disfunctions like arthritus or lupis. needless to say she is still one sick little girl and all your prayers are much needed! if she stablizes for a straight 48 hours we will be able to bring her home this weekend and she will then go straight to CHOC hospital...but that would kind of be a miracle!! so until she is stable....she will be in idaho falls.

thank you so much already for all your love and support. our family has had a really rough year this year medically, but this has been our most critical so far. Jaime is still in the ICU and in need of all your prayers. we love her so much and just want her to come home! Thanks again!

Once i hear some good news, i will be more then happy to report it. so until then.....
