Journal entry by Jill Stevens —
I’ve lost count of the days I’ve been in the hospital. I’m now at UPENN Medical center. I’m being treated for something known as Calciphylaxis. It is a rare and dangerous condition that can affect people with end stage renal disease. It hurts like a mofo. As I continue to heal I will be here until at least the end of the week. I will then go to an acute wound care rehab for a few weeks as the wound is too big do care by myself.
They have gotten a pretty handle on pain management and if this wound would heal it would be a very big blessing.
i would like to say thank you to everyone for your outpouring of love and support I am encouraged and held up by all of this. Please keep me your prayers and I feel you j is anyone who would like to donate a kidney in my behalf that would be just amazing!! Thank you. I’ll keep everyone updated on here. Peace out ✌🏽
