thursday night update:
well, God wanted to get all of us on our knees again to pray for ellie. around 9 this morning i got a call from the hospital letting us know that ellie had a temperature and that they had just witnessed a series of seizures in our little girl. matt was away from the hospital at the time so i called him and he rushed back there and then jenny drove me up there and dropped me off so we could spend the day with ellie. they did a spinal tap on ellie to rule out any infection and thankfully that came back with good news, no infection. however, they did an EEG, where they put a bunch of electrodes on her head and watch her brain waves and stuff, this afternoon to confirm the seizures and how she acted during them. she is basically having constant seizures so she is on medicine now to stop those and will be on medicine for awhile. tomorrow morning they are doing an MRI at 9 and that will give them a better look to see if what she has going on in her brain and if there is any damage. the neurologist warned us that they might not find a cause for her seizures even doing the MRI so we will wait and see.
i guess the thing to pray for is that the seizures just stop. that would be incredible! but please, also just pray that if the doctor's find something, it is treatable and not scary for matt and i. we would appreciate any and all prayers on ellie's behalf. matt and i said today that we had stopped praying earnestly throughout the day during the last couple of days and then we wake up this morning with this news and know that God wants us back on our knees begging for Him to heal ellie and that we would glorify Him in all situations. i think the hardest part for me is thinking that she is in pain or discomfort and i just don't want that for her. however, as we watched her today, i think the medicine is doing its job and relaxing her and that is comforting to her mom. :)
i am sorry this wasn't another "boring" email day but we can pray that those will resume shortly!
love-
matt and abbie
