recent bout with kidney failure and as of my follow-up appointment today am
still fighting that. At this time they are working but still at a decreased
level. I began running fevers again on Wednesday and last night they were
up to 103. My doctor told me at my follow-up appointment that he didn't
know what to do anymore. He doubled the dosage of antibiotic that I am
on....from 500 mg Cipro twice a day to 750 mg three times a day. When I saw
him this morning I didn't feel too bad....but as I am sitting here writing
this tonite I feel awful. I am going from having the chills to sweating.
My temp is 103.8. I am scared. I hurt everywhere. I don't know what to
do. I am very scared that this is the infection that will be the end. I
have been given the highest levels of iv antibiotics to try and beat this
and it hasn't happened. I have a pain in the right kidney area that I have
never had before.!

all the pain is gone....but it isn't happening. I am turning to you, my
friends....for your love and support. Please pray for me.
