Pray for Meredith

2 prayer concerns

Posted by: on: July 6, 2009

Meredith is getting sneaky in trying not to swallow her medicines.  Some of these med sessions, particulary 9 AM and 9 PM, are becoming quite the ordeal.  We have been trying the medications in different forms but haven’t found the best solution yet.

Her right heel seems to be getting more painful.  It’s a nerve sensation thing we think, part of the nerves regenerating according to doctors.  The PT told us to touch it as much as possible to desensitize it.  But shes in a lot of pain when you do that.  And it’s hindering her walking and putting weight on that foot.  Doctors have ordered a litacain patch for it tomorrow.


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.
