Lexi is doing well breathing on her own, and is now on a little bit of oxygen through her nose. Lexi continues to have issues with high blood pressure. The nurses put her back on blood pressure medicine tonight to help reduce it down to normal. Our other concern is for her tremors. At a high blood pressure level, Lexi starts shaking and the doctors do not know what the cause for this is. They are saying that they believe it is not seizures because there is no change to her heart rate and when they hold Lexi's arms or legs the movements stop. If this was a seizure the movements would continue even if being held. The doctors may do another EEG tomorrow just to better diagnose what is happening.
Prayer requests:
Pray that Lexi's blood pressure goes down because currently it is extremely high. Pray that the doctors can find a cause for and stop these tremors. Although the tremors are not causing Lexi any harm they are very un-nerving.
Praise:
Jon's business professor was very understanding of the situation and is willing to help us out in any way needed. Continue to pray as we seek to find a solution for his History class in hopes that we do not have to pay for it twice.
On a side note:
We had a special visitor today...One of the assistant coaches(from the Buckeyes) came up to Lexi's room to pay us a visit. He said that Coach Tressel received an email from someone telling him about our situation. He brought Lexi an autographed poster from the team. Luckily, Lexi was in her OSU hat. The coach then took us down to the third floor to meet James Laurenitus and Marcus Freeman and Brutus!!!! The players are not allowed in the ICU. We appreciate whoever sent the email as this was a bright moment in this difficult situation (For those of you who don't know, Jon is a huge fan!!!)

A Prayer for You
I said a prayer for you today,
And know God must have heard.
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word.
I didn't ask for wealth or fame,
I knew you wouldn't mind.
I asked Him to send treasures
Of a far more lasting kind.
I asked that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day,
To grant you health and blessings
And friends to share your way.
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small,
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all.
It's difficult to know what to say in times like these, but when I read this, it sounded appropriate.

This is from someone who received the prayer email:
A Prayer for Lexi and the family from Numbers 6:24-26 ...
MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP (GUARD) YOU, MAY HE MAKE HIS FACE TO SHINE UPON YOU AND SHOW FAVOR TO YOU AND BE MERCIFUL TO YOU, MAY THE LORD LIFT UP COUNTENANCE UPON YOU AND GRANT YOU PEACE ... AND BRING HEALING AND MIRACLES ACROSS YOUR PATH, IN JESUS NAME ~ AMEN.
Still praying! Praying for the BP! Praise God about the bottles and the poopy diapers!
Even though we cheer for Maize and Blue, that is cool what the Buckeyes did!!!
