Let me give you the facts now and feelings later so you can pray. We met with the neurosurgeon today - the damage to her brain is the equivalent of a 45 gunshot wound. Because she is so well physically right now and stable, their biggest concern is developmental. The prognosis isn't good. At the same time, the dr said I cannot tell you 100% what she will be like, the final decision is in the hands of God. Isn't that a good thing to know!
Tomorrow morning she is going to have a reservoir put on the brain to relieve the bleeding and over the next few weeks it will clear up the spinal fluid. Medically, not that big of a deal. In fact, the pediatric dr said the blood will go away. What is left behind when the blood is absorbed - no one knows but the Lord.
This is very heavy to carry, and our hearts are overwhelmed at all of you who are helping. We are reading the comments and we will be reading the websites sent to us. They all help. We are off to try and get a little rest. More later

Hi Jarrod and Jenny, I'm new to your blog and wanted to comment and let you know that I am praying for Sara and your family. Sara is such a precious little baby and I've got tears in my eyes from reading this post. Praying, praying, praying!
ReplyDeletePraying for you and your family. I have a daughter who is slightly developmentally and physically disabled due to brain trauma and although it is hard at times, the joy she brings far outweighs anything else. I grew up at Paron and know that you have a strong church family loving on you and praying for you.

Hi Mrs. Jennifer -
ReplyDeleteWesley remembers to pray for Mrs. Jennifer's baby who is too little at bedtime prayer.
I am so glad God gets to make the big decisions since He can see the big picture and knows what will be best for us. I know He can heal Sara and she will be a darling princess. I'm praying for your princess.
Jared and Jennifer ya'll are in our prayers daily. God is still a miracle worker but sometimes His miracles aren't exactly what we ask for yet, they are still great and wonderful. Love ya'll Kasey, John and Sara Mikal Rink

Praying for the procedure tomorrow to go well. Prayers for the doctors, the nurses, and all your family. I'm glad to hear that Sara is physically stable and I admire you all so much for your faith and willingness to turn your daughter's life over to God.
