Huge Step Backwards

I am sorry to say after looking like things were moving up that she had a lot of backtracking starting last night around 7. She began to really have tummy pains and throwing up. However, her muscle tone was down again and she could not hold her self up not even her neck. She threw up all through the night but even that was hard for her to do. She did it in her sleep some also. I was up most of the night trying to sit her up whenever I could to help avoid her doing it in her sleep and breathing in because I knew it might bring back pneumonia. The real scare was this morning when I woke up to her having a seizure on her left side. They gave her some anti-seizure medicine and that worked instantly. They took her temp and it was 102.5- now few hours later it is 101. They took her to get ct scan of head and that was normal. They were suctioning her stomach out again and it began to show some blood. The infectious disease doctor ordered a spinal tap to check for meningitis because of her having a fever again. They are checking to see how well her blood clots- it has been low. They are doing some other neurological labs with the blood work and with the spinal tap. Please continue to pray for Savannah and the doctors that we can find the answer. Hopefully it will be treatable and also pray that she has no more complications. She has had a very rough time these past 3 weeks and she was doing somewhat better and we were hopeful that she was turning around. Her body is evidently susceptible to picking up anything at this point. Hopefully she will not have any more seizures. That is a really scary thing - I am sure for her as much as for me. Thank you for your prayers and please continue.

  1. Jenn,
    Today I read on the Brian Keeter blog about Savannah. I have already prayed and will continue to pray for Savannah, you, your whole family, and all those who are taking care of her. May you all draw strength, courage, and comfort from the Lord Jesus Christ. May He touch Savannah as only He can do, and may all involved have the wisdom that God gives.
