10:30am--Doctors Round

The doctors rounded to little munchkin Levi's room around 10:30.  Since he is still having seizure activity present in his brain waves, which they measure with the EEG, they are upping the dose of the seizure medication that keeps him in a coma.  The dr. said that this is not good, because he should not be having any brain activity while in the coma.  He said the infection is very bad and his prognosis could be worse.  We think that means that he has a higher risk for brain damage. (Again, we are in constant prayer, and ask that you stand in agreement with us, that he will pull through fully with no ill effects!)  On a side note, his body has not responded to anything (the illness, meds, etc) with normal results, and it has been mentioned that he has a high tolerance.  So we are believing that he's just a little trooper and trying to fight it himself.  They have already upped the dose but we do not yet know any results.

His blood pressure is still holding stable and they are lowering the med for this a bit!  They are starting TPN, which is more nutritional than regular IV fluid.  TPN has lipids, magnesium, carbohydrates, and more things that the body needs, so this is a very positive thing! 

Our little munchkin is fighting hard in there and we know that Jesus is holding him in his hands!  We appreciate everyone who prays for him.  Please don't be shy about following us or posting comments.  Even if we don't know you, we appreciate your help in boosting prayers for Levi and his recovery! We pray special blessing over everyone who is praying and believing with us!
