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.
A Little Too Close for Comfort

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.
