ISabel has been Fever Free all day!! Praise the Lord!
Cat Scratch Fever...
It all began 3 weeks and one day and one night ago.
Isabel was struck with a 104.5 fever on a Saturday night. It was pretty high around the clock for 2 1/2 weeks straight. I was popping in IB prophen and Tylenol. After the first few days into the virus we took her in to the doctors. We were told to wait it out and see if the fevers would go away.
By that Thursday they weren't gone. So we took her in again. So they did further testing-red and white blood cell count. Thankfully that was normal and clear!
Once again we were sent back home thinking this was viral-still keeping watch.
Fevers were still high and around the clock.
Thankfully too Isabel was responding well to the Meds. It was as if she was totally fine when she was on the them-just when the fever hit it took a lot out of her.
Though more waiting...
One evening as Stefan and I were sitting in the living room; Stefan was quietly praying for her and specifically asking the Lord to make things clear for us. Well, not even 5 minutes later, our kitty Oreo came around Isabel and began to play with her hair. All of the sudden Stefan said, "Cat Scratch Fever!!" I turned and, "What?" He said, " I bet you that what it is!"
"What's that?" I say.
He quickly got up and began researching the symptoms online. He said, "yup, symptoms match pretty well."
So he called a friend of ours who is a doctor-"thanks Heather!", and asked her. She also looked it up, and said that seemed to be a good guess.
So we went back to the doctors to be tested for it-which is a blood test. Our doctor was pretty certain that all this was viral.
We continued on giving Isabel Meds, while the fevers seemed to be lowering and becoming less frequent. We had her prayed for constantly!!!
This past Monday we actually and finally received the results of all the blood tests they did.
It wasn't Lyme Disease, Mono...etc...other blood testing they did.
It was
CAT SCRATCH FEVER
So Stefan was right...that was the Lord!!! The Lord made it clear and answered our prayers!
Isabel is now on Anti biotics now and doesn't really have anymore fevers. At the most 99.0.
So we are so grateful to our Lord for revealing the answer and walking us through this really difficult trial of the unknown.
God is so faithful...
One of the areas that I know for a fact for me is laying down my children before the Lord. Completely handing them over to God, knowing that He loves them more than I ever could.
IT was so hard for me not to worry...many phone calls and questions were made to ask for prayer, encouragement to trust in God and not freak out.
Again I was holding onto to Christ with all I had and yet, God in His mercy and kindness, was always there walking through this with us.
Praise God and to Him be the glory for her healing!!!
