12:40 – We are still waiting to see Kayleigh. The doctor came out to talk with us at 11:40 and let use know that things went well and that they checked multiple ways to make sure the catheter was placed properly. The nurse practitioner just came out now to let us know Kayleigh is in recovery and starting to wake up. They are going to do a few more X-rays to make sure everything is in place before they let us in to see her.

Please keep praying that this surgery is what was needed and that she will rebound quickly. Pray for rest and peace for everyone. And please stop for a moment and tell the Lord “thank you” for all that He has done and all the ways he has answered our prayers. We are tired but not burdened. We know God is carrying this load for us and that makes all the difference.

Thank you for standing with us. We have needed you all greatly this past week and you never disappoint.

9:45 – Kayleigh has gone back for surgery to revise the VP shunt. She is always such a trooper but this morning, for the first time, she is in tears. And so am I. Please pray for peace for all. We know God is watching over our baby, it just hurts my heart to see her upset and not be able to fix it.

7:33 am – While preliminary results showed everything was working, after talking to Kayleigh’s neurosurgeon, he feels that the shunt is not positioned correctly and needs to be adjusted. That means surgery again. Thankfully, they will
Just open the same incision as before on her head and make the adjustment.

Please pray for sure hands and perfect placement of the shunt.
Pray for no complications and that Kayleigh will heal quickly – she was really counting on coming home on Wednesday. I don’t know if f that is possible now.
Pray they will be able to get Kayleigh on the schedule today quickly so she doesn’t have to go without food and water for an extended period of time.

I will post again when I find out what time surgery will be.

Thank you all,

We are still in the Miami Children’s ER. Kayleigh has had a CT scan and series of X-rays. Preliminary reports show the shunt is in place and working. It also shows the ventricles are beginning to return to normal size – thank you Jesus on all counts!!!

We are still waiting to talk to one of her neurosurgeons and will then be put in a room. We still are not sure what this was but we do know that God has answered our prayers again. How blessed we are to be protected by our Savior! Thank you for praying. No mater the time someone always answers my call for prayer.

Until later…

We need you again prayer warriors. Kayleigh has had a mild headache on and off today. I initially attributed it to us weaning the steroids and I’m sure that is a possibility; however, a little over an our ago Kayleigh began vomiting. She has had 2 episodes so far and her head is still hurting.

We called her neurosurgeons office over 45 minutes ago but they still have not called back. I called to check with them again and they tell me they have not been able to even get ahold of any of the doctors yet. We need for them to call us back so we can figure out what to do for Kayleigh.

Please pray for the vomiting and headache to stop.
Pray for the doctor to return our call quickly and that he would have wisdom for what we need to do.
Pray that for rest and peace for all of us. We are so very tired, and of course, concerned.

I know this is Satan trying to steal our joy from the beautiful miracle that is Kayleigh and all of the amazing things God has done. But Satan has no power here – we claim the matchless name of Jesus and where he stands Satan must flee. So get away from us Satan, get away from our daughter. You have no power here. We do not doubt that God is in control. We will not panic because that would mean we don’t trust God to take care of things – we know He will. We will not be shaken because we are held fast by the most high God – maker of heaven and earth. Whom shall we fear? We ask tonight that you all help fortify us with your prayers.

Psalm 18:30
God’s way is perfect. All the Lord’s promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection.

Isaiah 41:13
For I hold you by your right hand— I, the Lord your God. And I say to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.

Psalm 27:1
The Lord is my light and my salvation— so why should I be afraid? The Lord is my fortress, protecting me from danger, so why should I tremble?
