Urgent Prayer Request

11/7/10
They have the results from Penelope's cultures she has two kinds of staph in her spinal fluid from this most recent surgery. Today her fever was 100.5. The infectious disease doctor wants the bovine graft patch taken out because her body is fighting it. The neurologists don't want to take the patch out. I am in the... camp with the Infectious disease doctor because she can't stay on IV antibiotics forever.

11/08/10
This morning, she has developed yet another bacteria(score-bacteria 3 antibiotics 2), so the neuros finally see the light and have acquiesced to remove all of the grafts.  She will be having surgery sometime this afternoon and they will be installing a drain.  Once all of the infections clear, then she will have to have another repair surgery. 
Please pray-
For surgery success with no complications
For the infection to be driven from her body
To guide Dr. Owen and his team to do what is best for Penelope.
For Penny to have the cancer driven from her body and the osteoporosis fracture pain to be soothed.
For me to have the stamina, patience, & strength for a longer stay in the hospital.
