We were hoping to hear from the neurologist before posting this, but I know many of you check this often and we want to keep everyone informed. We are in MUCH need of MANY prayers for little Lexi.
Lexi had another seizure around 6am this morning. They are looking to add an additional seizure medication, but will wait until we have seen the neurologists. They do have her hooked up to the EEGs (to measure her brain activity) and will keep her on it until they figure out what all is going on. The spot between her brain and skull that is bleeding is very small and they do not think this is what is causing the seizures. This is actually a big praise! There have been no strokes or any permanent damage done to the brain! They will most likely wait until sometime next week to do the MRI.
Today, they will again work on weening her off of the vent and will start to decrease her sedation medication in hopes to get her breathing on her own. They will keep the breathing tube in place even after they take her off the vent to help her make sure she's getting a full breath every time she breathes. She is back on her feeding tube
Prayer Requests:
Pray that the seizures can be diagnosed and a cause determined so we are able to get Lexi on the road to recovery.
Pray that the weening of the vent goes well and that Lexi can become less sedated today.
Pray for Jon's classes- he is trying to finish up his degree from Liberty University. Obviously, he hasn't thought much about classes for the past week! He is asking for an extension but this is completely up to each professor (he has 2 classes). If the professors agree, he can submit forms to get an extension. If they do not agree, he will have to retake the classes AND pay for them again. This is obviously not in our financial plan! Pray the professors have compassion for him and this situation!

He will cover you with His feathers and under His wings you will find refuge; His faithfulness will be your shield. You will not fear the terror of night or the arrow that flies by day . . .For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways they will lift you up in their hands...He will call upon me and I will answer Him...taken from Psalm 91.
We love you, Alexis, Jon and Cherie
