Hospital Day # 11 - 12/12/23 PM
UPDATE: Brittney’s symptoms are slowly worsening. Please keep praying!! We can’t thank you enough for your prayer. We really need her to turn a corner quick & start improving!!
This morning at 9am she started to have some cognitive processing (couldn’t think straight) and noticeable coordination issues. She got to the ER ASAP where they discovered a serious brain bleed. She was given platelets and flown to UL.
Her symptoms are slowly worsening: memory & cognitive issues as well as coordination, strength and fatigue concerns.
Brittney’s brain bleed will be monitored for the next few days at the UL ICU. Her condition is very serious but her care is excellent. We are not sure yet about a brain surgery to remove the bleeding; it depends on some more tests ahead in the next few hours and over the days ahead as well.
Ways to pray:
- for the brain bleed to stop
- for no blood clots to form (since she just had 4 stents emplaced last week this is very concerning as she has to be off blood thinner now)
- for pain relief (these are the worst headaches she’s ever had)
- for no long term brain damage
- for wisdom for her neurosurgery team on whether or not to operate
- for wisdom for all the rest of the hospital care team
Luke 1:37 “For nothing will be impossible with God.”
Picture: Brittney was so thankful to attend Sophia’s Christmas dance recital Sunday night - she always loves our family photo!
