After a multitude of tests she's back to square one, but she's feeling better than she has for many months.
The blood cleansing is finished, and the tubes have been removed from her jugular vein. She received two units of blood.
Her blood pressure is almost normal, and none of the tests showed anything abnormal.
The verdict now is that the MS is attacking the part of the brain which sends signals to the heart. This is causing the slow heart rate and low blood pressure which in turn is causing the seizures.
She hasn't had a seizure now for two days, and that's longer than she's gone in months.
If the seizures resume, the next stop is UCLA where they will check for automic responses to determine which part of the brain is being attacked.
She's not fixed, folks, but God granted our prayers. She's not facing any new and deadly malady, just the same old MS.
I know I left out a lot of people on the ping, but I want to thank you all so very much for your prayers.
I told Faith that a lot of people were praying for her.
She said, "Well, it worked, as usual. Tell them all that I thank them and God bless them for their love."
1 Cor.13:13 - "And now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love."
Faith at Seaworld last year:
Prayers are a given.
To God be the glory. She is very beautiful. Thanks for the update and I will continue to pray for her and her family.
I'm jumping up and down happy right now.
I know it sounds strange to say that I'm happy the MS is all that is wrong, but I've come to accept that just like she has.
Thank You God!
I will say a prayer and I hope life brings joy and healing.
God didn't give her any children of her own, but He gave her to all the children she meets.
Halloween, two years ago:
I LOVE your tag line!
May God bless you and your beautiful baby boy!
It's sleep time on the drilling rig.
May you all have a night filled with our Lord's peace that passeth understanding.
May God wrap you in His loving arms.
+ To God be the Glory, great things He has done ...
I'm glad she's better but I'm praying for remission and a complete healing.
That's wonderful that Faith is able to come home. But we're NOT done praying yet Uncle TC!! Faith and you both need us and we're all going to keep this going for her.
Isn't it wonderful how everyone rallies and comes forward for the good, the much needed love and prayer for one of our own? We forget politics, and other issues and join together for one purpose... to help Faith. God does work wonders... and helps us put our priorities where they should be.
Our prayers have never stopped for Faith, or for you, and they will continue..
Our love and hugs...
*TT*, Beth & Nana
Beautiful Faith, May God continue to place His loving hands on your body, and heal every cell.
This is Logan's Miracle Room. We have seen God's miracles, and we humbly ask for miracles to continue in the lives of Faith and her sweet daddy.
Love,
Donna
We're still praying for the twins!
I'm glad that Faith is feeling a bit better. We won't stop praying for her, though. <:)
Faith our Prayers continue for you.
TC Praise Be to God and in Latin too.
I wish we could give blood but we can't.
Good reminder though with Faiths' medical needs that if you can give blood in most towns RedCross comes through monthly.... take a nap and give some blood everybody. Oceanperch.
