Need Prayers for Our Daughter

Coalfire · Post by **Coalfire** » Fri. Mar. 25, 2016 9:35 am

On Monday evening, our daughter Abigail was helicoptered to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia after being found not breathing. We were told based on scans that she has brain damage which they expect to be minor developmental delay and possibly vision issues. Based on the fact that she in only 4 mouths old she could have a full recovery because the healthy parts of her brain will likely pick up the slack for the damaged areas. Her issues so far are that her brain has been on overload and she has been having seizures because of it, as of today she is 8 hours without a seizure which makes us optimistic that her brain is finally responding to the meds so it can rest and heal. We have a long journey ahead and are asking everyone and anyone to please pray that she makes a full recovery and that she is able to come back to us. All we want is to hold her and love her but she needs to be off the ventilator before that is possible.

Our baby abigail had a seizure this morning around 815 so she is still having them. They have upped the anti seizure med to the max they can give her. If she has a seizure again they are going to basically put her in a medically induced coma they said it will give her brain a chance to rest and reset itself than we will go from there.
The hope is that the upped dose of meds works and we don't have to do the coma procedure. Thanks for all the prayers so far this little girl needs all the prayers and love she can get right now
