Prayers for Sara

Grams and Papa had a huge sleepover last night. We had Papa, Grams, Mommy, Daddy, Emma, Steven, Sara, and me all under one roof. When Sara woke up from her morning nap, she started having seizures. When Emma and Steven were about the same age, they both had seizures. Theirs were both diagnosed as Febrile Seizures caused by a high fever. They only lasted a few minutes and they quickly recovered.

But Sara's manifested itself very differently. She had a fever, so Mommy gave her a cool bath to try to get her fever down. But she wouldn't respond or show signs of improvement. We took her to the hospital at Talihina, and they gave her medicine to stop the seizures. The doctors decided to Life Flight her to St. Francis Hospital in Tulsa, but there were storms in the area. They couldn't get the plane to land, so they took her by ambulance. Aunt Nicky got to ride in the ambulance with her so she wouldn't be so afraid.

Uncle Rusty and Aunt Nan were at St. Francis waiting on her when she arrived in Tulsa. She made it without having any more seizures, so she got to be put in a room instead of ICU. They are still running tests to determine why she is having siezures. Please pray for her and the rest of the family.
