Isabelle is doing well. She had one blood pressure spike last night, which made me nervous, but with pain medicines it came back down. They plan on extubating her this morning which is great news.
The bad news...I had another seizure last night, while sitting next to Isabelle's bed in PCICU. Thankfully Phil was with me; it was short and all is well this morning. After having a seizure I feel pretty sick and weak for 24-36 hours. Please pray for strength for me today.
After returning to the Ronald McDonald House last night, and having a good cry about the events of the day, I had to smile. Why am I surprised when the trials come? This is our opportunity to bring glory to the Lord. He is NOT wringing His hands in heaven. His plans are NOT thwarted. He is sovereign and in control of even these details of our lives!! Pray that we will bring glory to Him and that those around us will see Christ reflected in our lives.
We woke up this morning to the news that AnnaGrace (9) now has the stomach virus that Sarah Mei had last week. Hers is upper (not lower like Sarah Mei's)...ugh!! So sorry Torie & Michaela!! Phil will be leaving the hospital in a few minutes to head back home while Torie hops in the car, in Charlotte, to head down here to Charleston. By this afternoon they will have switched posts. Pray for safety as they both travel today.
And of course...pray for our sweet Isabelle that she'll continue to progress, that her oxygen saturation levels will stay in the 80's and that her chest drainage will continue to slow.
Thanks prayer team!! What an encouragement it is to us to know that we have all of you joining us in prayer!
