yet again my partner needs prayer [View all]
You may remember in March that I posted that she needed prayer due to a difficult root canal which was interacting with other problems. Well now there are even more complications piling on. The root canal is in a tooth whose roots can poke into a sinus cavity, and the endodontist managed to poke through, exposing the sinus to mouth bacteria. This in itself is not rare and generally not serious, but in her case it resulted in a persistent infection that jumps right back in every time she comes to the end of a course of antibiotics.
It also ended up aggravating an old chronic issue which, when provoked into inflammation, affects the trigeminal nerves and in bad cases can create serious dangers to major blood vessels. This could be life-threatening.
It may also be a partial explanation of her neck pain, and history of headaches on one side.
She is very frightened, and also very frustrated with a series of unhelpful doctors. Some of this crosses between specialties, and in the specialty that should have the best handle on this (ENT), they are being reluctant to take this seriously, as few of the symptoms are obvious and measurable.
She is literally preparing herself for the possibility that she could die of medical neglect. But let's not let her be neglected in prayer. I'm no believer but I am praying. I hope as many of you as possible can join me.
