Happy December! Jon and I never imagined when this all began that we would still be in Columbus in December. Once again, we thank everyone who follows our blog and supports us with prayers. We have been so encouraged by the comments that have been left daily on our blog. We know many of you read it and we love getting comments from you as you pray for our family and little Lexi!
We have also been encouraged by the new team of doctors that we received today. We have received a clearer plan of action by both neurologists and cardiologists. Unfortunately, the majority of this plan involves waiting another 3 days to see if Lexi has any improvements before they do any further major testing. Lexi's neurological problem still remains undiagnosed and "puzzles" both the cardiac and neurological teams. The neurologists have decided to take her off all seizure medications. This should help her become more alert and allow them to assess her more accurately, as well as work on her OT and PT therapy that is vital to her improvement. We will also be seeing an opthamologist and hearing specialists so the doctors can begin determining exactly which cranial nerves have been affected.
Prayer Requests:
Pray for Alexis to show improvement, specifically in the next 3 days as her medication begins to wear off. Please pray that she will not have any side effects from being off her seizure medications. The next tests are more involved and we are hoping to avoid them.
PS
Alexis wanted us to pass on that she has added new pictures to her slide show, as well as to her "Group Prayer for Alexis Hocanson" page on facebook. She loves to show off how cute she is!

We are continuing to pray for a quicker healing than the doctors expect. Jon and Cherie, you both have amazed me with your faithfulness through this entire situation. Your trust in each other and in the God you serve is evident!
