As we come to just under the 2-week mark for going home I’ve felt a fatigue start creeping in.  Almost like my body and mind anticipating the return to home, to a greater chance for rest.  I know there will be changes in our home life and some new challenges.  But I am truly tired of institutional life and the stress that comes with it.

Meredith’s personal videographer (and violin teacher!), Mrs. Doty, took more great videos of her today and posted them on her facebook page.  If you want to view them, just send her a friend request and she will gladly accept.  The doctors are going to try to taper down Mere’s labatalol (blood pressure med), so that will mean one less medication.

Blessings to you all, especially Aunt Eloise in her recovery!


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.
