Praise God!! Thank you, thank you to all who prayed for my recovery. Honestly, neither my team or my hosts believed that I would be able to fly home this morning. The doctors do not know why caused this over 24-hour illness, but all I can say is that I have never been this sick in my entire life. After a whole night of disgusting symptoms that I will refrain from describing, we concluded that it was best for me to see a doctor since I was unable to recover on my own with over the counter meds and drinking bottles of Gatorade.
So around 6 pm on Sunday evening, Tom, our host, took me and two of my teammates, Chung-in & Andy, to the international hospital in central San Jose. After 2 IVs and lying in a hospital bed for 3 hours, I still did not feel better. My body was so weak, my entire body was in pain, and my head was dizzy. According to the blood test results, I had an intestinal infection, which the doctor concluded was E.coli. Since there was nothing else the doctors could do, they released me and prescribed 4 different pills.
After a good night's sleep on Sunday evening, I was ready to take my medication. I had 2 of the best "moms" on- the-go who took care of me, fed me, and made sure I was doing everything possible to regain my health & strength.
Monday morning , I was able to eat a little bit. Chung-in made me rice porridge. :) Unfortunately I was unable to keep much of it in my system. I felt a little better but still skeptical as to how I would survive the long plane ride home including a 9-hour lay over in Miami. My body was still weak and I felt dizzy after standing longer than 5 mins.
God answers our prayers! Currently, I am on the road to recovery. I have my voice back and apparently my color is back. Thank you for all of your prayers! I desperately needed all the support I could get. I surrendered this illness to Him, trusting that He is the ultimate healer.
