Thank you to everyone who took time to pray for Lexi and her MRI this morning. She was able to lay still for most of the test. They were able to get clear enough pictures to determine that, once again, the MRI is normal. The Attending Physician for neurology came in this afternoon and spent about 45 minutes with Lexi. According to the neurologist, Lexi's condition is "perplexing" to the neuro team. They are, at this point, at least trying to come up with a "best guess" as they have done every test that is necessary and possible and they are all coming back completely normal. Lexi also had an upper GI test done today to study her digestive track. This also came back "acceptable" and will hopefully give us some more information on Lexi's feedings issues. We will know more details about the test on Monday.

Specific Prayer Requests:
PLEASE continue to pray for Lexi's feedings. She is still not interested in having anything put into her mouth. Obviously, she needs to get some interest before we can try oral feeds again!

Pray for me as I travel home. My parents are staying with Lexi tonight and Jon is heading back to Columbus Saturday afternoon. Jon and I are spending the first night home together in exactly a month! I will get to be home for 2 nights- which is a much needed break!

We will post again on Monday. Thank you for your continued prayers as we have now been in the hospital with Lexi for a month! It means a great deal to us to have so many people still interested and praying for Lexi and her recovery!
