Macie Update

Thank you for the prayers already lifted.

Macie was admitted to the hospital Sunday and we are still there. And we are still testing for different things. The main concern at this point is that her vision is altered and are eye movement is abnormal, but it is slight. She already has had a normal ct scan and is about to go for an MRI any minute now. They are checking for an abnormality with a cranial nerve resulting from the virus she has had in her system the past several weeks. We are hoping that is confirmed because it will be an actual answer and it will get better in time. If not confirmed by MRI she will see neurologist and discuss further testing.

Her stomach is not hurting today (first time in 12 days) and she slept well. We feel like she is turning a corner from that aspect. She is asking for food which she can't have until after MRI is done. This is the first time she has asked for food without being prompted since last Friday. So there are some good things happening for her this morning.

We are praying this is the last test and the last day of being in the hospital.

Oh, we are also waiting for urine culture to come back as first urinalysis was abnormal. Hopefully that won't be something that keeps us hospitalized.

Thanks again for your prayers!

PS. If we stay again tonight, and you are capable of visiting I'm sure she would love to see a friend. :)
