Sarah's Home!!! – Tuesday Night, 9:30 PM Update, September 20th, 2011

After 12 days in the hospital, Sarah was released tonight just before 7 pm. She began sitting up at 3 pm and by 4, she was sitting in the chair. Her head feels very good. Although she is still struggling with vertigo quite a bit. The Neurologist was in to see her and wasn’t worried at all about that. He said it’s just a by-product of lying on your back for as long as she has been.

Though she is home, she is very, very weak and the doctors are telling her that she probably has at least another 3 weeks before she’s even remotely feeling normal again.

The prescription at this point is for her to be on bed rest for the next week which means very little movement and lots and lots of rest. One can’t underestimate the trauma she’s been through with this whole ordeal. But we are thanking God tonight that the headaches are gone. The leak in her spinal sack is apparently healed and we’re on the road to recovery!

The boys were so excited to see her walk through the door tonight! They made her a “Welcome Home” banner that is hanging across our sliding glass doors on the back of our family room. They just stayed near her the entire time until they went to bed.

The “Welcome Home Banner”

How to Pray:

• Pray that her body stays headed in the right direction and that her strength will return. 
• Pray for the vertigo to be gone and the nausea related to that to dissipate as well.
• Pray that no headaches will return.

We’re so thankful for all of you who have stood with us through this crazy and difficult season. We have felt your love and support and found strength in your comments and prayers.

Thanks for continuing the journey with us,

Matt and Sarah Keller
