Sarah's Medical Update – Saturday Night – 8:15 pm – Sept. 17, 2011

Day 13 of the headache :: Day 9 in the hospital.

It’s Saturday night & Sarah’s sad that she wasn’t at Next Level Church tonight! We miss our NLC family!

Sarah had a great day all in all! She was able to take a 5 minute shower sitting down but she loved being able to wash her hair and put on lotion afterward.

Around 3 pm, The PICC line was installed. The procedure was pretty intense and unfortunately took 2 tries. Which means that it was much longer and more traumatic than we wish it would have been. However it is in and in the right place so she is now able to receive her antibiotics without her veins burning and “on fire.”

This afternoon started the experiment of cutting her medications in half. So her headache is back a touch but they said that would be the case. It was gone throughout much of the day but it is creeping back a little this evening.

Sarah is eating well. Which is great and Drew and mommy had cuttle time this morning and he watched a movie while she rested.

Prayer wise it’s very similar to last night.

Pray that the tear will continue to heal, and that the headaches will diminish.

The plan as of now is to remove the drain on Monday and then to observe her for a good 24 hours. So most probably the earliest she could go home is Tuesday.

She wanted to make sure you all knew how thankful she was to everyone for the cards, prayers, flowers, chocolate, food for her family and caffeine!

Thank you for believing with us for complete healing.

Matt, Sarah, Will and Drew Keller
