Rounds


The doctors just did rounds. (I have to say it felt a little like Grey's anatomy, there were residents, a chief, a big circle, etc.) The main concern right now is that her left pupil is largely dilated and not very reactive. This could be because of brain swelling, seizure activity, etc. They are going to do an EEG this morning and probably an MRI for more definitive answers sometime later. She had a few other problems in the night, oxygen level, etc. but overall her labs seem to be ok.

The dr. this morning explained how quickly and aggressive the particular strain of bacteria is. She was septic very quickly and we are just so thankful we got her here when we did.
Please continue to pray for:
*Her left pupil.
*Brain "injury" vs. "damage". We want injury which can heal. Please pray limited damage to her sweet little brain.
*Ava..
*Any signs of improvement-just so hard to see anything right now.

I want her to smile again. I want her to run around with Ava in the playroom we are making for them. I want to hold her and feed her look in her big, pretty eyes. But mostly I want to glorify God through whatever happens. So comforting to know that he is holding her when we can't touch or hold her ourselves.

Thankful we serve such a Mighty God. Trusting him for anything that happens. Thanks for praying with us.

We are praying constantly.
"Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." Ephesians 3:20
"Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever." (Hebrews 13:8)

My hearts for you and my tummy is in knots for you. I know how scary those tests can be, all of the doctors hovering around talking in a language that you can barely understand, all of the "wait and see"...waiting and just praying that your baby will be just fine.
We are continuing to pray for you. She is in the best hands ever: her mommy's, daddy's and most importantly the Lord's.

Megan told me what is happening - I am so sorry! I am praying for you, and will use your little list to pray specifically. Be strong and courageous just as you are already doing.

Heidi,
Melissa called me this morning and asked me to be praying. Please know that I am. I cannot imagine the agony you are going through. But...what a might God we serve! We will call upon his power to heal your sweet baby girl. Praying constantly...love, Callie.
