Happy Day

Today was a pretty good day!! Livie had the spinal tap and it went well, the nurse went to sedate her...but her IV was bad!! So they couldn't sedate her, however they went ahead with the procedure and she held perfectly still, she didn't even scream. She did so good! We started the 21 day anitbiotic count down today. (:
She was talking a lot more today. She is still not talking as well as she had been, but she is doing a lot better than yesterday, and she LAUGHED!! A good, loud laugh!! It was awesome, I love to see her smile. She also sat up in bed today, all by herself! She is getting stronger and stronger.
She still has C-Diff (stomach bacteria) really bad, her heart rate has been over 200 beats a minute (it should be 80-120) so she's been in quite a bit of pain, but we found a medication that seems to help her.
I have so much to be thankful for, the Lord is very aware of Alyvia and her needs and has blessed us in many ways.

Megan,
Just wanted you to know that you are not alone on Thanksgiving and we are still thinking about you and praying for your family. I am sure holidays are hard and I just wanted you to know that you are NOT forgotten. I was so glad to hear that things were a little better today. Stay strong and remember you are loved!!
