Neurologist just visited the room, after looking at the EEG results. Commented that the results were nothing out of the ordinary for this condition. Still some confusion on why her pupils are so different, and has ordered an MRI for this evening to take a better snapshot of the brian/spinal cord. Kaiya's temperature has stabilized, she is still in a medically induced coma.
In the meeting this morning, the doctors commented on how extremely aggressive this strain of bacterial menengitis was in Kaiya. Very quick to invade the blood and spinal fluid, we are very thankful we got her here in time.
Continuing to pray that:
*Kaiya will live
*There will be no long term brain damage from the swelling & pressure in her head
*Her body responds well to the antibiotics *Heidi and I will have patience as we wait for any results
*Ava will maintain normalcy without Mom & Dad. (This morning I went to Heidi's sisters house and was able to be there for Ava when she woke up. I fed her breakfast, and was able to spend some time with her before coming back to the hospital. She is in great hands with Kevin, Melinda & the boys.)
Thank you to everyone for the text messages, emails, comments, prayers & encouragement. You may feel far away but you are helping us through this time.

Hi DeKornes.
Every once and a while we check up on your blog after stumbling on it a while ago...we are incredibly saddened to see the recent posts and you are all in our thoughts and prayers. You never think you know what stress is until your own child is involved. We pray for all the best for you and Kaiya.
