Yesterday was a great day for Parker and her family!! Here's the scoop.
Around lunch time the did an MRI. Thankfully, since she is so young, they gave her some anesthetic. While she was out, they were also able to do some neurological testing. She did great, and woke up from the anesthesia wonderfully! The neuro team came and reported that she didn't have Guillain-Barre’ Syndrome, but rather ADEM. This is a HUGE answer to prayer! ADEM is treated with high doses of IV steroids. There are no long term effects, and she should be able to go home after the IV steroids are done, which is about a week. Even though she'll still be in the hospital, the doctors encouraged Jack and Kristy that they should start seeing an improvement in the next couple of days.
Parker was resting well when I left late last night. I think her momma and daddy were going to be able to rest well too. What a blessing it was to see the burden lift from them, and join them in praising God for his grace to Parker!
Praise God for his hand in this! That's what Jack kept saying over, and over yesterday. I also know that they were greatly encouraged knowing that they had so many people surrounding them with prayer.
