Pray for Meredith

Meredith had a special visit today from 3 recent TCA graduates and their moms:  Megan and Jenny Jackson, Hannah and Katrina Cowen, and Bonnie and Sandi Guinn.   In PT she got to walk to each of them in the hallway and stop to give them a hug.   And she LOVES the American Girl doll they the girls, including Emmie and Caroline Berkhardt, got her.

She started taking her medicine by mouth today and they’ve gone down, although a bit reluctantly.  The doctor also arranged her med schedules so there are only 4 or 5 doses a day instead of 8.

What I’ve noticed the last couple of days is how much the nurses and therapists are impressed with Meredith’s progress.  They seem overwhelmed by her.  As am I.  But may I only point to God’s grace and power even as I smile with joy at the amazing little person He made her to be.


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.
