Recovery, recovery … and recovery
Posted by: cjwallis on: June 25, 2010
It’s hard to sum up what this word means to me. But it has become to me a heavy word and one that feels never-ending at times. Meredith recovered from the encephalopathy, from the seizures and the coma. She relearned how to walk and run, how to eat food and talk, how to write, how to go up [...]
Meredith’s story
Eight year old Meredith has been in the hospital since April 27th, first in a medically induced coma and now for continued occupational and physical therapy. The doctors were baffled for over 3 weeks and didn't know what had caused her seizures and illness.
On May 13, Meredith was diagnosed with Acute Necrotyzing Encephalopathy after being transferred to Cincinnati Children's Hospital the day before.
On June 1, after slowly being eased off her anti-seizure meds over the course of many days, Meredith started rehab. The doctors estimate that she may be released in mid-July.
Please pray that Meredith continues to improve and respond with her therapies and pray for continued strength for Meredith's parents, sister and extended family.
