Wide Awake :)


Alegria is wide awake at the moment. We have cut back on the pain meds and also started feeding her again, both of which seem to be working well for her. It was so nice to see her eyes open!!!

She did have another episode this morning in which they had to bag her. It began and ended all very quickly (probably less than 5 minutes). While it was not what I would have wished, it was good to see exactly how to handle and assess things in a calm, effective way.

We really do not know how long we will be here at this point. If all goes well, it may be that we will be home by the middle of the week. If the episodes continue to be frequent, they will keep us here longer until we can determine the best course of action. No one honestly expects that the episodes will stop completely either way, but we will now have all the tools available at home to best help her and we will leave the rest in God's hands.

Please pray that God will continue to give us wisdom, direction, and strength. Please also pray that God would see fit to help Alegria breath better on her own.

Thank you all,
Jill
