Another Round

21. May 2008 by admin.

Sarah went in yesterday to have a port put in so she won’t have to have anymore needle sticks for blood drawls or medications. she made it through the procedure with no issues. She was then admitted to the neuro floor to get another round of IVIG. She had a bad weekend coming into the procedure.

Logan had a soccer tournament up in Troy, so we decided it would be ok to just get a hotel room for the weekend so we didn’t have to get up so early for games. In the middle of Logan’s second game I get a phone call from Kim telling me that Sarah had fallen during a seizure and hit her head on her surgery site and broke it open. Since she works at the Atrium she called the charge nurse and they stapled her up. So our plan of the kids having a fun weekend of swimming and getting in the hot tub at the hotel just didn’t work out. Logan’s team did well going 2-1, but the team that beat them went 3-0 so they didn’t win their bracket and we didn’t have to stick around for the late Sunday game.

Sarah’s seizures clustered on our way to the hospital to have her port put in. She had 10 seizures in an hour. She calmed down once we gave her some medication. She had another EEG today before she was discharged. We were told that everything was still on the left side, which in her case is good news. She got to see her favorite nurse Barb and her favorite massage therapist Susan. They both have been great support for her.

Kim received a call from the Make-A-Wish people and they are trying to rush through a wish for Sarah. We may be headed off on a little vacation in the next couple of weeks. 

We were also informed that a bunch of families/friends from our community are planning a basketball tournament / carnival benefit for Sarah at Kingdom Sports Center in Franklin on July 12th. When I get a full schedule of activities I will post them.
