Our fav doctor was in today and reassessed her. He was a little encouraging. she is certainly better physically than she was last week AND both eyes responded when he touched the cornea! Not a huge response but she did respond for the first time and it was in both eyes!
Corneal responds is a basic brain stem response but it shows that a tiny bit more of her brain stem is responding! PLEASE pray for more responses! I am encouraged! We pray that her whole brain stem will respond as well as the rest of her brain!
"Our life maybe a crazy life but it's our life" I'm married to a pastor of a small rural church, who is also the prison chaplain. We have 5 kids, each with their unique story. I love gardening & we all love the outdoors. Our life is not the way we planned it to be, but we are learning to trust God in every area. Come and read about our life as we live it to the fullest!
Standing with you in prayer for whatever the Lord has for Selah and your family...HE IS FAITHFUL..
ReplyDeleteHope your thrift store shopping is successful.

well I figured you could probably use a wee laugh under the circumstances. When I first read this (obviously very quickly) I thought it said 'cornmeal' response. I was like-they want to put cornmeal in her eyes? How cruel. Yes, you can laugh and I am not ashamed to admit I so totally got that wrong (thankfully)...on the serious side-I will continue to lift you all up in prayers.
ReplyDeleteStill PRAYING Yvonne!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy for good news!
ReplyDeleteGreat!! Still praying for your family
ReplyDeleteEncouraged by your news! Sending lots of love and as many prayers as I possibly can, for Selah's continued responsiveness and for all of you. God Bless! ♥♥
ReplyDeleteGreat news!!! Praise the name of Jesus! We'll keep praying!
ReplyDeleteAny small response is a blessing and an encouragement. I continue to pray for Selah, for the medical personnel, and for you her parents. Our daughter has had multiple periods of deep coma due to an illness. Realizing the causes and the coma itself is different, I do want to pass on that when she has awakened from coma she relates conversations that took place at her bedside. Keep talking Mama. She may well be hearing you!
ReplyDeleteI check your blog once, twice, sometimes three times a day for updates. Every time I hope and pray that there will be a beautiful post that God allowed her to be healed. See a picture of her sitting up on that hospital bed, perhaps? That she proves everyone wrong again, and she will be healed and be Selah once again! She proved everyone wrong who had dismissed her, wrote her off as an orphan who would spend her days rotting with so many others. She proved them wrong with her parents by her side. And I pray and hope she will prove everyone wrong once again with her parents still by her side and one day show her beautiful smile to the world. (And maybe someday learn how to say 'I told you so!')

ReplyDeleteGo Selah Go!! I am rejoicing over this miracle and I know God is smiling down at you. May He continue to be merciful and hear your pleas to heal your daughter.
ReplyDeleteyou don't know me, but my husband and i pray every day for you. Not just for Selah, but for your husband and your whole family. my husband prays particularly for yours. God bless you. i can't wait to hear more encouraging news. (ps. i hope this is an encouragement: I have a cousin who is autistic and drowned in a pool last year. they couldn't get him breathing for over 20 minutes AFTER they pulled him out. He was "basically braindead" according to the dr. but one dr said because he was young (7) to give it a few days. now he is home, happy, fully functioning as himself and he gets more and more social everyday!)
