A Little Too Close for Comfort

May 18th, 2007 at 06:31 pm

We have a situation in our extended family that's hitting a little too close to home right now.

I've written about DS#2's hemiplegic migraines and seizures. Well, my cousin's 18 month-old daughter had a seizure this past weekend that ended up with her in cardiac arrest for 10 minutes. She was life-flighted to a larger hospital and is now on a respirator. They've done an MRI and she has damage to her brain stem.

The situation is not good and the parents and grandparents are having a difficult time coping, naturally. It's made me more aware of what could happen.

They all could use some prayers right now.

    Thank you, Julie.

    I just got an email from my aunt and unless there is significant improvement over the weekend they will have to decide on Monday whether they will put her in a nursing home where she'll live in a vegetative state for the rest of her life or pull the plug.

    They have a hard road ahead of them.

    What is her name? I want to lift her and your family up in prayer. I'm so sorry to hear of this.
