Friday was another long day. Kate had a lot of anxiety, but she only showed courage and kindness. The first doctor and two nurses met with us to go over her chart/history etc. After reviewing records, doc glanced over at Kate and quietly said, "you know you have a walking miracle sitting there, some medical explanations are from prayer." He shook his head and kept reading her chart, then said, "kids with this many lesions, size and location, don't just walk out of here, and don't look like that..." The power of prayer! Thank You everyone!
It was wonderful to be reminded of our miracle. However, it was an emotional reminder of how bad things were and how she still has health issues. Next, it was time for the needles. The nurse was gentle, the IV went pretty well. The MRI results were good. However, still some concerns, we must have another MRI in four months. Kate will be on the four month schedule, we had hoped to be on the six month testing. If her headaches increase we will go to ER. The optic nerve damage is not healing, her vision will be closely monitored.
Her lungs are not clearing up and she has had some chest pains. After the tube down the throat she has once again begun the non stop coughing. Fever has set in this evening. We will be with Longview doctors tomorrow. She is upset about missing school, again. Kate is frustrated about being sick, she wants to be healthy!
Please keep praying for Kate, and the many, many sick or hurting children, so many need love and prayers.
