today's events

Oh my gosh! I can't believe we are STILL in the hospital. Jesus!, Set your people free!

Ok, now that I got that out.....

LP didn't happen. Macie caught a glimpse of the setup and then saw the neurologist drawing up some med in a syringe, and then she was done. Even with sedation she was not consolable. It was a hard day with that whole event, hard on a mom's heart.

So it was rescheduled for today at 4pm. She will be in a sedation suite and will never know that anything is happening.

It seems like we will be able to leave tonight, but not promised.

The LP will show if there is increased intracranial pressure. If so she will get meds to treat it. If it is normal, we will leave with a likely diagnosis of post viral neuro involvement. That just means that she had a virus that ended up affecting her neurologically and all will return to normal in time.

Her vision is better today. She has iv fluids going so she is peeing more.

She can't eat until after LP is done so I'm asking for specific prayer that there is a cancellation early in the day and she gets moved up.

Thank you for continuing to pray for us. Those of you that visited MayMay yesterday made her day. It was such a blessing to all of us to see love poured out on her.

Side note: please also be praying for Emily Hallman. She is Macie's age, autistic, and had a tumor removed from her spine this week. She had an MRI this am and hoping to see no more tumor anywhere.

The things that were scary to us are the very things that the Hallman family are actually going through. So please, if you think of Macie, think of Emily too!

Lindy and I had NO IDEA that Macie was even sick!!! I am sooooo sorry that we haven't been available to you all. Your family is so special to us and we ache with and for you. Ok, we are on top of the game now. We're going to see you soon and we got a game plan. If you are home tomorrow evening, then I got something for you all. I'll keep up with the prognosis. Macie, I got something for you (Just you!!)

Bound to you - The Thompsons

We will so keep praying for her. Cody has had a great day. I wanted to do soooo much more for her yesterday, but the thing that would help her the most would be GOING HOME! Bailey
