ABBY THE FIGHTER


After being home for almost 2 weeks. Everything was going good. Abby started not to feel good, and said "she was scared because she felt sick like when she was in the hospital". I layed her down for bed. When her daddy checked on her about fifteen minutes later, she was having a seizure. We called 911 and was taken back to Cooks Hospital. She was placed on a ventilator for a short while then taken off. Her blood pressure was extremely high and caused her seizures. After a day a monitoring in ICU she starting having a seizure again, which was yesterday.
Her seizure was so strong that the medicines to stop the seizures made it hard for her to breath on her own. She was placed on sedation, a breathing ventilator, feeding tube and a surgical placed blood pressure moniter. She received a MRI to check if she had any brain damage from the seizures. We ask everyone we know to bombard the heavens for her, we asked for the Zoe life of God to enter into her. We played continous worship music at her bed side. The doctors said she would have to be sedated on a ventilator for a few days.
While the next day, which is today. The MRI showed no damage to her brain and some swelling of the brain that is totally reversible and will heal itself. After talk of one to three more days of sedation on the ventilator, and people praying for Abby she was taken off the ventilator as of 4:00 pm today. She is a little groggy but breathing on her own, talking and making her daddy laugh. Her blood pressure is stable with medicines and no seziures in the last 24 hrs.
Yesterday was so hard as a parent to see your child go through so much and not be able to do anything for her. I believe God allows us to go through those situations to stretch our faith and call on the one that can make a difference. Abby is still going to have battle, but my little girl is a warrior and is going to get through this with VICTORY!
