Alexis had a little bit of a set back this morning. At 5 a.m and 8 a.m. she had a small seizure. The doctors were planning on taking Alexis off of the ventilator some time late morning, and now she will be left on the ventilator for at least another day. The will be doing further testing today to diagnose the seizure, and to see what this means for the future. She is heavily sedated today to stop the seizures and to keep her comfortable. She is being fed by a feeding tube through her nose. Unfortunately, it looks like she will be in the CICU (Cardiac Intensive Care Unit) at least until the weekend. If everything proceeds as planned, she will then be moved to a cardiac floor for a few days.
Prayer requests:
Please pray that the seizures are not long term, and that the testing comes back showing no side effects. Pray for wisdom for the Neurologist as the evaluate Lexi today.
Pray for Cherie's parents and Holly (her sister) for they are serving as serogate parents to the twins until we return home.
