Today we continued to see Evangeline take baby steps in the right direction. She did take some breaths on her own today – yeah!! That is positive because when a person is on a ventilator they can lose the ability and strength to breathe themselves. Evangeline even responded to mom saying her name today. Amazing since that is not even a regular occurrence in every day life! The doctors did discover that she has a Strep A infection along with a secondary infection causing a UTI. She is already on antibiotics, but as soon as they determine the specific bacteria, they will target the antibiotics to fight those infections. Eva has been hooked up to an EEG for a day or so and is having some seizures but nothing remarkable for her. In fact, the EEG technicians monitoring her even asked if she could get off of monitoring because she was the most boring EEG they were watching. This is a first! Therefore, the EEG leads were removed from her head helping protect her skin from irritation. Finally, Evangeline has had some periods of alertness today. All of the signs seem to continue to be positive.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support! It is wonderful to know that so many people are lifting us up in our time of need.
