July 27th, Laceys Journey

 On July 24th, Lacey Malkerson had a level 4 brain bleed. She was airlifted to Abbott Northwestern Hospital where she is being treated by some of the nations best neurologist. After having a drain placed in her brain and repair of the aneurysm she still remains in critical condition in the NEURO ICU.

*July 27; Lacey had 2 code blue episodes and made it through. Doctors think it is from an over exaggerated vasovagal response and/or mucous plug in her lungs. Doctors discontinued a couple medications and they are watching her labs closely. She continues to be ventilated and sedated, her vital signs are stable and she is requiring a little less oxygen from the ventilator this morning. The doctors are telling us this will be a long journey ahead of us, as she still has a lot of swelling and pressure in her brain which is compressing her bodies ability to breathe on its own. They cautioned us that it will be a rocky road ahead with many ups and downs with at least 3 wks in the NEURO ICU. 
     Lacey pulled through 4 coding episodes by the MIGHTY hand of GOD and because you responded in prayer by the Power of the Holy Spirit. How could we have the words to thank you...
