Quiet Josie Day...

7/17/10 Quiet Josie Day...
We have had a pretty quiet day today and for that we have been thankful.
Josie's breathing tube came out today without much problem and she has been
breathing on her own most of the day.
The evening however has been a little bit harder. Josie started having seizures
around 4pm today - she has clusters of them and then she will sleep for a
while. The doctors and nurses have told me several time tonight that this was
to be expected because her brain has gone through quite a trauma. They have
given her 2 anti-seizure meds and so far they are still not under control.
Watching her is quite painful to me. I can touch her and sing to her though
whenever she goes through a seizure. I am getting tired, but just don't want
her to go through these seizures by herself. The nurses and doctors are
watching her extremely close - which is reassuring to me.
For now, please pray that they can get these seizures under control and that
they are not harmful to her brain and the healing that it needs to be doing.
God is with us - we have felt him all along the way - He is the great healer
and He is the one in control of Josie's little life. With God - there is always
hope.
