A glimmer


Livie singing nursery rhymes and playing peek-a-boo.

Today was a little better, we had some great visitors, so that was nice. (: Alyvia is still sick, but she only has a low temp so hopefully the antibiotics have kicked in and are fighting the Meningitis.

She had a CT today and the spinal fluid in her ventricles isn't too much yet, thank goodness (: so we still have a little time until she has to have another drain put in. Neurosurg does not want to put the drain in until they absolutely have to because the type of spinal infection that Livie has is the worst kind, it sticks to plastic (which is what the lumbar drain is made out of.....so she wouldn't be able to get rid of the Spinal Meningitis.)

Today she "tooted" and started to giggle. It was soo good to hear her laugh! I have missed it.
Some bad news.... she has a bacterial infection in her stomach because of all the antibiotics she has been given, ironically enough to get rid of the infection they give her more antibiotics!

Megan,
I was so sorry to hear the new news. Sometimes I do not understand why some families have to go through so much at one time. Keep up the hope. I read this in the church news and thought of your family. "There is nothing that we experience, there is nothing that we go through, there is no sadness that we have that doesn't contribute to our refinement and help us develop ourselves and prepare us to return to our Father in Heaven" I know it doesn't make it easier to go through things but know that your Heavenly Father is Aware of you and you are his child. He will never leave you alone. We will keep praying (that includes Alli, Bracken, and Dallan) They are always asking about Lyvie.
