Pray for Meredith

Archive for July 15th, 2009

With Laura Campbell wearing out Gigi and Papa in Mississippi and Josh staying with Meredith, I had one quiet night last night at home — all to myself.  Even though I was looking forward to it, I spent most of the time home imagining what life will be like in two weeks when we’re all home together.  Life will definitely be different than it was between all the medications, liquid thickeners, Meredith’s learning to do things all over again, her high energy and short attention span — but it’s an adjustment I long to get to.

She continues to do well in therapies.  And her medications today went better.  She did have to have some IV fluids this evening for hydration, but her renal panel on blood work was normal.  May the Lord continue to protect all of her systems as He has so faithfully done for her these many weeks.


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.
