Dr. Broussard spoke with Lester around 8:15 this morning. He said:

  • The hematologist is giving her hemoglobin to help her bone marrow to produce red and white blood cells.
  • The anti-fungal medication attacked her bone marrow. He has halted this medication. He thinks that if it was strong enough to attack her bone marrow it may have been strong enough to attack the fungus. Testing will be done to see if the fungus is still present in her lungs. The results from these tests will not be ready for a few days. In the meantime, she will be administered medication which is used to treat bacterial infections. If the test results show that fungus is still evident, he will then treat her with a less aggressive anti-fungal medication that will not attack the bone marrow.
  • Clinically, Dr. Broussard says, she looks good, her white blood cells are up, her vital signs are good, and her sugar is good. They are concentrating on the blood at this time.
  • Her doctors continue to research for the best treatment possible with their ultimate goal being to get her better.

May these doctors be granted divine knowledge and wisdom on how to treat Grandma Foreman so that God's perfect plans and will for her may be fulfilled. An excerpt from Proverbs Chapter 2: "For the Lord gives wisdom".
