Day 15 in HealthBridge Children’s Rehabilitation Hospital
393 S. Tustin Ave., Orange, CA 92866
Dear Friends,
I am so glad to report to you how God's continual blessings flow to Melissa and our family. Her improvements are indeed miraculous.
1. On Sunday (6/22), the doctors are expecting to discontinue all drug-based medication. Pray that Melissa will continue to breath on her own in spite of absence of these medications.
2. The swelling in the brain seems to have increased. On Wednesday, June 18, her CT Scan showed the shunt was clogged. On Friday (June 20 @ 1:30 p.m.) she will have surgery to replace the shunt
3. Physical therapy is going well. Pray for her neck strength when she sits up. One major hurdle and benchmark would be her ability to sit up.
4. Melissa is now able to breath on her own for 10 hours per day.
5. Melissa received a new bed which will allow easier physical therapy maneuvers.
Overall, Melissa’s condition is has been stabilizing and improving over the last couple of weeks. Praise God!!
Prayer Requests:
1. That the minor brain surgery to replace her shunt on Friday, June 20 @ 1:30 p.m. will be successful.
2. The house is going through some termite work. In addition, the downstairs bathroom will be reconfigured to allow Melissa's usage. Pray that timing will be conducive to Melissa's eventual homecoming.
Pray for God's continued protection over Melissa.
In Him,
Michael
