Forgive me for not keeping the website up to date. I have bee posting to Facebook and honestly just too tired to post to the website as well. But here are all the posts from Wednesday in order… I will post today’s shortly.
11:50 a.m.
I need all my prayer warriors on over time duty. Kayleigh started feeling badly this morning. She has a terrible headache and has been vomiting since before 6:00 am. I don’t even know what to ask you to pray for. Just pray.
1:08 p.m.
Please keep praying. I was able to email her doctor. We gave her a large steroid boost hoping that will get things under control. She woke 30 minutes later vomiting again but sounding a bit more like herself. She is asleep again right now. Please pray that she is better when she wakes. If she is not we will need to take her to a hospital on the island. That certainly would not be ideal but we know God is in control. Thankfully, He is still graciously granting me peace, even in this. I know He will make the path clear, please just continue to cover Kayleigh in prayer. I will post again when she wakes.
3:30 p.m.
God is not answering my prayers quite as I have asked. We are going to be going to land to have her checked at a hospital here. Please pray specifically for traveling mercies and that we will be able to get her home safely. Pray for skilled doctors to be able to help her. Pray for me as I travel with her for safety and wisdom. Pray for a miracle. And pray for God to be glorified in every step. I cannot see the path but I know He is not surprised by this. I know He is in control. And while my mother’s heart is scared, I know my God is bigger than this.
Also, Tim is traveling with only a passport card. We are trying to see if there is a way for him to get a temporary passport so he can travel with us. I don’t know if that is possible and we certainly don’t want to do anything that will slow down getting Kayleigh home and feeling better.
7:08 p.m.
We are in Jamaica at the hospital. I don’t even know what city. We are waiting for labs, a CT scan, and then for a neurosurgeon to get out of surgery to look at it and see if she needs surgical intervention or if she is ok to fly.
I spoke with our doctor at St. Jude. He is waiting for the neurosurgeon to call him tonight so we can make a plan. Dr. R says it could still be other things, not the tumor, but we won’t know until we see the scan. She is currently getting fluids while we wait but she is still sleeping and responds very little. Please pray the fluids help. Please pray for a miracle. Please pray we can afford all of this care as well. They do not take our Blue Cross insurance here and I do not know if we have any other insurance from the trip. I am working on that now.
I know God is bigger than all of this. We trust him above all else. Even today, especially today, God is good.
1:58 a.m. Thursday
Quick update… We are still in the hospital in Jamaica. Kayleigh is still sleeping, we cannot get her to wake up or open her eyes. She had a seizure while we were here and they gave her medicine to calm her brain. Unfortunately, it makes her sleep too so we don’t know if it’s pressure causing her to sleep or the meds. We are praying it’s the meds and that she will wake up!
If she does not wake on her own they will have to put a drain in her head to relieve the pressure. Med evac has been called for her. We have wonderful people who have moved heaven and earth to find this nee evac and get her back to the states. We are so thankful. We are also thankful for the wonderful people here in Jamaica. The staff has overall been kind and helpful.
Tim was able to get special clearance to fly with us even though he only has a passport card. Please pray that we continue to find favor with the people we come in contact with. That Tim will not have any problems flying and we will get Kayleigh back to the states swiftly.
Pray for Kayleigh to wake up. That surgery is not necessary. For no more seizures. For peace, grace and mercy.
Even as I sit here, often times in tears, I hold tight to the fact that God is sovereign. He has been good to clear a path for us. That his way, plan, and timing are all perfect.
Kayleigh’s verse – Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.
Pray big my friends. Ours is the God of miracles. Claim one for our girl now.
Much love,
‘Carrow💜
