Today has been a much better day. Krissy is beginning to eat (a clear, watery diet), but she is keeping it all down. She woke up today with a swollen eye. It is her left eye and it is swollen shut. She looks like she has been in a boxing match, and it is beginning to look bruised. The doctor told us this may happen. But, she continues to take it all like a real trooper! She has been out of the bed a few times today, however it makes it worse on her head when she stands up and walks. The doctor told us today everything still looks good and we hope to start seeing seizures now. She did have one semi-gran mal earlier today...but they need alot of them to look at and compare.
We have a new roomate tonight. She is five years old and they are video monitoring her because of an irregular EEG that shows spikes in her brain activity. Boy is she a real talker! We had a discussion earlier about her leg that wanted to go home (so it keeps wiggling alot) and the other leg that knows they have to stay here in the hospital until the doctor says they can go home. She said her wiggly leg doesn't understand. So we had a real deep discussion about persuading her leg to stay. My kind of conversation lol. I had the opportunity to talk with her mom and found out her brother is autistic and has seizures . . . and now they want to check out her daughter. I shared with her about Kristina's adventures. The son was in the hospital two weeks ago with a ruptured appendix. She asked if I would keep them in prayer. I pray God will continue to use us as we are here.
For those of you that have been praying about Kristina's insurance and disability issues, we received some news today. It was good news! She has been approved for adult medicaid and disability benefits. What timing God has!! Truly an answered prayer!!
And....the nurse brought me a cot to sleep on tonight! I don't have to sleep sitting up!
God is good!!
Thank you for all your prayers, notes and calls. Now we pray for seizures!
I love you, O Lord, my strength. the Lord is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom i take refuge. He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. Psalms 18:1-2

Well I can see one reason you are there... no matter where we go, People need Jesus. I am sure they are thankful for the witness and testimony that you guys are bearing daily. Your common ground is a powerful tool to reach others. The door is wide open. I will be praying for the seizures to come and that the doctors will get all they need early. It may be selfish, but we all want you guys back here with us. We miss you and Krissy's smiling faces.
Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
James 5:16
