I just want to say thank you to everyone for all of your prayers today! Aiden is doing much much better than he was this morning. He is in the PICU at Willis-Knighton Pierremont for constant observation and IV administration. He had a CT scan, X-ray, EEG, and lumbar puncture for spinal fluid done as well as blood and urine tests. His fever went from 104.4 at arrival down, back up, and down to 99.4 this evening. He still has not eaten today and may have to be fed via feeding tube. His is responsive but very lethargic and somewhat sedated. We are awaiting results from all of the tests because he had a prolonged seizure this morning and the cause is still unknown. Also, we are unaware of the reason for the convulsions that last about an hour to an hour and half this morning. The doctor believes that it is viral which is good or bad depending on what it is. It means there isn't bacteria multiplying, but if it is something like meningitis, it's hard to get rid of and very dangerous.
Please keep him and my sister and Jake in your prayers! He has been through so much and more than most of us could imagine already and he's only 18 months old. I just want all of you to know that I am so impressed with you and God has blessed us beyond belief with this church family. You all continue to impress me with the way you handle things and she was so touched by the text messages you sent me and all of the prayers and messages on facebook! I bet you never saw Facebook as a blessing before I really think it changed my sister and my mother's view of christians and even Brookwood. They had been scared by a church in the past, but it meant so much to them that you all cared so much for someone that you had briefly or never even really met! I cannot express what it meant to Tiffany! She was in tears reading many of the facebook messages and status changes from you! Thanks so much! We love you all and you mean the world to us!
Love,
Monica
Here is a picture of Aiden that makes me smile so I thought I'd add it!
