MJ Update - Fix Me

[Guest guest]

It is update time again,mostly for one purpose that I will get into in a bit.

There are 2 weeks left of class and thenfinals week but I have no finals this

week, so my last day of class is June 3rd.

As of right now, my reportcard shows 2 F’s and 2 I’s but everything was

approved and done, why it isn’tregistering, I have no idea. The two I’swere

approved by the university to let me drop them based on all the paperworkI

submitted for dropping. Now I justhave to wait for the decision to catch up

with the registrar’s office. The two F’s are actually classes, where

myprofessors submitted my grades (An A and a but they haven’t made it to

theregistrar either.

So, I am not moving to GJ’sthis summer and will be staying here on campus, so

you will all know where Iwill be, so nothing different. I believemy last day of

class is August 20th, but don’t quote me on that justyet. is already

packing stuff upslowly so my rooms are become filled with boxes stacked all

around.

So, my health now that is adeep and troublesome topic. My lastupdate, I had

developed pseudomonas that were resistant to most drugs and for 4weeks used

Amikacin , the IV drug that I used via my nebulizer. Well that worked but

things just haven’tgotten any better as of yet. In fact myhealth has gone

downhill, quite rapidly this past week. I had been trying to increase my oral

intakeof food and liquids…and that was going okay, some days good, some

daysnot. My doctors are currently trying tofigure everything out but because of

my up and down days, asthma attacks, andsuch, they have made me go NPO (which

means nothing by mouth). Unfortunately, I am the one that is suffering. My

food intake not being there made me startto dehydrate so they allowed me to

drink liquids. Of course, more liquids make me reflux moreso I am having

trouble drinking and maintaining my hydration level, so now I amdehydrated and

the symptoms seem to be getting worse. Please pray and pray hard. Tomorrow,

Monday, May 24, 2010, I am going tothe ER at NationwideChildren’s Hospital to

be admitted to getrehydrated and for the docs to “FIXMEâ€. I made a video

last night to sharemy feelings. “FIX ME†is my new favoritesong, sung by

Straight No Chaser, and I told everyone that it took me 18 yearsto get to my

overweight status but only 3 months to lose weight. Please visit:

We plan to arrive at the ERbetween 10 and 11, maybe earlier. We arespending the

day trying to pack, finish up homework, and finalize things, emailprofessors and

such. I have no idea howlong I will be in the hospital but will try to keep

everyone updated. I did talk to a couple friends (thanks Kim & Kim) whowill

update on my blog - http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/mjpurk- if I can’t

access it from the hospital. Myfriends don’t have access to my e-mail so

tomorrow, only updates will be on myblog or FaceBook. You can friend and

I, if you want to, by looking us upvia our e-mail addresses. and I will

both have our cell phones and canupdate facebook from there. Please do not call

tomorrow as being in theER limits my access as there is often no service.

Assuming I am admitted, I or will leteveryone know ASAP where I am on 5

Tower. Until later, please say prayers that my doctors figure it out and

“FIXME!!!†Thanks

Love and blanket hugs:

MJ
