Urgent Prayer needed for Kaylie!

Thank to all of you have been praying for Kaylie and our entire family. You will never know what it has meant to hear of all those praying!

Kaylie has been doing really well at Brooks Rehab and her discharge date to go home is November 22.

Thursday night around midnight Kaylie woke up and starting throwing up. Right away we were concerned that the shunt has already begun to malfunction. LeAnne then remembered that a therapist that was working with her was home the day before with her sick kids. So we were hoping and praying that this is all it is. Kaylie threw up Thursday night every hour until about 5:00 Friday morning.

The doctor at Brooks thinks it was viral or flu, son they just watched her. The doctor also was checking her stomach and it was making noises but that it was tender when mashing on it. We were told that it could potentially be apendicitus.

Friday she was doing alright, didn't want to eat much until dinner. Well last night around 11pm I get another text that Kaylie was throwing up again. It concerns us that she is throwing up again after lying down for a couple of hours and about the same time as the night before! They drew some blood to check apendicitus  or maybe her liver. Doctor still says not related to shunt, but they were wrong about that is was CSF fluid leaking before the shunt.

LeAnne feels like it is the shunt! She has been right with Kaylie even before doctors came to that conclusion! We don't know anything for sure!

We need your prayers! We need them bad! Pray that God watches and protects Kaylie! Pray that it's not the shunt! Pray for wisdom for the doctors! Pray for peace for LeAnne and I!

  1. I will be praying for you. Please don't ignore your wife's gut feeling though because doctors are not always right. When my daughter's shunt malfunctioned and she had double vision they told me it was not related. I had to take matters into my own hands and take her to an opthamologist who saw the papilloedema when looking into her eyes (swollen/inflamed nerves). Throwing up can be a sign of pressure changes in the brain area. I have been praying for Kaylie since Irene told me about her. I was getting your updates via email but they don't come anymore.
