Bethany [Bishop] Roam

[Sweet Pea]

The following was just posted on the Prayer for Bethani Blog:



Bethani was admitted to UC San Francisco last night. They were able to give her medication to help her get some much needed rest. They also are giving her medication to help her nausea. They expect her to be there for three days for observation and test.

Thank you for your prayer! We serve a Great God!

Bethani Roam Bethani Roam, a 24 year old evangelists wife in the Western District, who is recovering from a liver transplant, woke up this morning unable to keep her medication down. They called the doctors in San Francisco to discuss her problem. After looking at her blood work the doctors told them to come straight to San Francisco that her numbers showed that she was in full rejection of her liver.

The family is asking for your prayers! Please pray that God will reach down right now and touch Bethani. God is able!

Good News!
According to the Liver Team Bethani's labs are getting better. Her main liver #'s are going down which means the anti rejection medication is working! This is the news we have been hoping for. Also if her numbers continue to trend downward then they will not have to put the camera down her stomach and check the bile duct. We thank God for this wonderful news!

She has endured 2 very difficult days in which she has gone through a biopsy, and lung draining procedures. Last night the doctors noticed her oxygen level was a little low and so they had to drain fluid from her right lung. This was not an easy procedure but necessary for her oxygen level. They where able to drain 2 liters of fluid off her right lung.

Where to from here?
Now the plan is to put a feeding tube in some time today so they can get her some much needed nutrition. This too has been difficult for Bethani to accept, however it might just help her with the nausea problems that she has been having as well as strength for recovering.

Your prayers are definitely helping us through this crazy time, please continue to pray that this nausea subsides enough to eat and keep meds down and lastly pray that we get a complete recovery from this rejection.

My sweet little wife is in a lot of pain. Please pray for her.

Bethani and I are looking forward to our first Christmas with our son Wyatt!

with much love,

Brian, Bethani, & the "little man"

I received word last night that Bethani is facing her third round of anti-rejection drugs, her body is starting to reject her new liver for the third time. This is very uncommon, but since she is so young and was previously healthy, her body really is viewing this liver as an invader. She is very ill, and in excruciating pain, and she is not allowed to take anything for the pain.

She has a one year old baby to take care of, and they have continued to try and evangelize during this, but her doctor has told her that she has to stop and take care of herself if she wants to survive. This family has been to hell and back, and they desperately need our prayers.
