Pray for Meredith

New discharge date

Posted by: on: July 7, 2009

is July 29th!  They’ve added two weeks to Mere’s rehab b/c she’s doing so well.  And they’ve already scheduled her outpatient rehab at Cardinal Hill starting August 6th.

Her foot is still in pain but she’s hobbling along on it even better despite the pain.  She took her meds a little better tonight.  We stuck the pills in bites of cupcake which she knew had pills and tried not to eat, but we got in anyway.  Only took about 30 minutes as opposed to over an hour.


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.
