MERRY CHRISTMAS
Merry Christmas from SUPER BROCK to you!
The doctors have begun their discussions with the infectious disease team, and as of right now, we are being told the doctors want both an MRI and another lumbar puncture (LP) to help them decide how many more days on antibiotics Brock needs before leaving the hospital. This will likely take place on Friday or Monday. In order to get the best possible images for the MRI, Brock will need to be sedated. Please be praying for the entire procedure- there are always risks when putting anyone under general anesthesia. Pray that the clot has SHRUNK, or better yet, DISAPPEARED. Pray that we will see a DECREASE in the amount of white on the scan (areas of his brain that are dead/inflamed). Pray we don't need additional weeks of antibiotics and can begin talking about getting Brock HOME!
I'm spending Christmas incredibly thankful for the progress our sweet SUPER BROCK has made over the last two weeks, and for the ways that you all have reached out to BLESS us in this journey.

You got it. Praying here in La Grange!
Just as a comfort to you, I wanted to let you know that I was diagnosed with Spinal Meningitis at 2 months old, and was expected not to survive. I am now a 33 year old mother of 2 and have had no side effects from my medical treatments. Prayer really does work! I'm praying for all of you.
I have a story similar to Andrea's....my nephew was diagnosed with bacterial spinal meningitis at 9 months old. He was given a 0% chance of survival....and IF he did survive he would be severely handicapped in one or more ways. Three weeks in the hospital and he was discharged with my sister and her husband being told only time would tell what those handicaps would be and how severe. We had people praying all over the world for him. He is now 26 and has a VERY SLIGHT learning disability....YES, prayer does work!!
