A couple weeks ago Evangeline got a cold.  As she was finishing up with the cold, she got hit with a 12-hour stomach bug that saw her unable to keep anything down, including seizure meds.  This all led to a significant amount of seizure activity.  ‘

Last Sunday we determined that we thought she may be okay to travel for our Christmas trip.  After arriving at our destination Evangeline did not have a good day.  We administered some rescue medication that we hoped would help her through the difficulties.   The medication improved her condition making Tuesday and Wednesday good days.  However, Wednesday evening the problems returned.  Early Thursday morning we decided we needed to return home to be close to our preferred hospital. 

This roller coaster of events culminated in a trip to the Emergency Room this morning.  The doctors administered heavy doses of medication to stop the seizure state that had overtaken our precious little one.  This evening Mom and Evangeline are settled in with the doctors monitoring to see how she responds. 

While this is not the Christmas we expected, and it is difficult to have Mom and Evangeline in the hospital, we still celebrate Jesus as the reason for this holiday.  We appreciate your prayers for our family during this time.
