It's Friday night and we are still in the ICU. We thought we were taking a turn for the better Thursday. Then this morning Mac had a seizure while Mo & I were in the room with him. This led to a CT scan (which showed no bleeding in the brain) and he's been on an EEG all day. It showed two more little seizures even though it wasn't visible to us. He also got the fluid drained from his abdomen to see if that would help his blood pressure go down. He has been very uncomfortable and drowsy all afternoon. So here we are again, a huge puzzle to the doctors and running another series of tests over the weekend and giving him more medications. The neurologist thinks it is related to his blood pressure, but of course, each specialist has his own take on the matter. Once again we are exhausted and scared. Ana and I brought Mac in 3 weeks ago today for a pain in his side. I never envisioned I'd still be here with him. Please continue to light the candles, say the prayers and think positive. Mo and I are in agreement that it is your prayers that are getting us through this.

  3. www.gratefulness.com is the website that you can light a prayer candle for Mac. Our school librarian started it for Mac. The candles need to be renewed every 48 hours. Consider starting and ending your day with a prayer for Mac and light a candle.
