Last Molly Update

I wanted to update you one more time on Molly, who we (along with many others) have been praying for. She was able to come HOME on Monday!!!! God is so good and has used this whole situation to work in many hearts about the importance and the effectiveness of prayer. I am happy to report that Molly comes with very little deficits, compared to what she could have, and will endure a bit of physical and occupational therapy here at home. Our prayer is now that she will continue to heal completely and be lead a seizure free life. Also our prayer for her family to get the must needed rest from this journey they have been on....and before baby #5 arrives in 4 weeks!!!
Thanks for praying. I know I have been blessed and challenged while following Molly's progress and I hope you have been to. It is important that when prayers are answered so QUICKLY like in this case that we should be just as quick to GIVE GOD all the honor and praise HE DESERVES.....


Praising God in all of His goodness,

One More Quickie Update On Little Miss Molly

Molly's second surgery went well and they were able to remove the portion they were after. Molly is actually doing better this time after surgery than she was the first go around! To make a long story short they Lord has yet again continued to answer our prayers.....no huge "side effects" at this point. PTL!!!

BLESSINGS,

Molly update...pray now more than ever!

Below it yet another update from Molly's parents....

The stimulation test went very well. Molly was exhausted and still did better than most. They told us that the test usually takes two days for kids her age but they were able to get all the information they needed in one day (even with a computer failure that delayed it 2 hours and required a replacement computer). That is answered prayer. The results of the test indicate that the location of the big seizures that we are accustomed to seeing is located in an operable spot on the brain. As I said before there are other places on her brain causing seizures that they cannot take away. So they do not believe that they can take them away totally, but they believe that the re-section can possibly eliminate the big ones and medicines can then control (stop) the others. They gave us a 30-50% chance of this.

Without the surgery they believe controlling seizures is 3-5% chance. We believe that right thing to do is to go forward with this surgery. It's an agonizing decision because of what is actually going to happen to her, but we feel that it gives her a chance to control these seizures which is a chance that she does not have if we do nothing. So at 11:00 am on Thursday morning she will go back to surgery to have this small section removed. There are some possible deficits that can occur due to this procedure. She may not be able to talk, walk or use her right side. They are all temporary and could take anywhere from days to months to recover. There is no telling whether or not she will have any of these problems but they are a possibility.
So here is the latest list of specifics to pray for.

Pray that Molly feels like she is lying in the palm of God's hand especially for the next few days.
Pray that the surgery has no complications and that it leaves no deficits.
Pray the surgery results in a life of controlled seizures for Molly.
Pray for the peace that passes all understanding be present in our hearts ( we have felt it).
Pray that the hearts of Molly’s caretakers are turned towards the Lord somehow through this ordeal.

When Molly was born 8 years ago we almost lost her. I still remember what my wife said, “Let's pray for everything and praise Him for anything.” We are back to that state of mind again. We take great comfort in knowing that Molly is being taken before the Throne by the fervent prayers of some righteous Saints. We take great comfort in knowing that the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe knew about Molly’s journey before the earth began. We humbly thank you in advance for your prayers.
Chad and Christine

Another Molly Update!

Here is a little blurb from Carepages, which a place were Molly's parents keep everyone informed of their ever changing journey. I copied and pasted it directly from their site.

Well, it's been unpleasant, to say the least. I think the worst part, after the amount of seizures Molly has had, is that they were in no way typical of what we see at home. Makes us wonder and question, and right now, it's wait and see what the Dr. says.I had called from RMH a little after midnight, and Molly was peacefully sleeping. I missed Chad's first two texts which began around 2:30AM. Short story is lots of short, small seizures, several rescue meds given in between, and then more small seizures. Right now Molly is on IV dilantin, and if that doesn't work, they'll give her more ativan. So we wait. Wait on what the Drs. have seen, wait to see if her seizures calm down, wait to see if Drs. need more, because they weren't typical...Chad and I are both feeling tested right now. We are discouraged by what we see. Please pray we will trust in God's amazing plan, even if He tells us 'no' to a scar tissue removal surgery here in Cleveland. Please also pray for Molly's comfort, especially her itchy head. Grandpa and I have had to stop her more than once to keep the dressing from working its way up and off her head. Please pray for Chad. He's attempting to sleep at RMH after a night that he'll never forget. I'm feeling some regret that I wasn't here to bear the burden with him. I know, God is using all of this for good, and you all are absolutely standing in the gap for us, but I am struggling to let God win the battle of the mind right now. So, that's it. Thanks for continuing to lift us up. Will let you know what we know by end of the day.
With love and gratitude,Christine (and Chad)

I think it goes without saying that Molly is in need of more prayers at this time. So again I ask for your continued prayers for this little girl who is being put through so much in order to get some conclusive answers. Also in case you were wondering RMH=Ronald McDonald House

Please Pray!

I have a few things I would like prayer for in my family.

ZACH: I took Zach to the doctor yesterday and found out he had Bronchitis...which it what I thought. I am thankful it had not yet progressed to pneumonia!! So starting today we are doing breathing treatments every 4 hours.

JULIA: Julia started her coughing yesterday morning and I also put her on breathing treatments. Since I am familiar with all the respiratory stuff, I knew she needed treatments as well......SOOOOO 2 kiddos doing breathing treatments every 4 hours on top of everyday stuff equals a really busy mommy!!! I'm not complaining, don't get me wrong. Today has went very well and I know the Lord is giving me extra patients and grace moment by moment.

TERRY: My dad is having neck surgery on Thursday morning at 11am. He has degenerative discs so they are fusing disc 3 &4 together and all that....About five years ago he had discs 5, 6, & 7 fused. Unfortunately that means he knows how painful it is to wake up from surgery, so pray for peace for him through all that.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS.......
