URGENT prayer request... updated
My 20-something cousin Jenny has not been feeling well for a week or so, and over the last couple of days was suffering from incessant vomiting, blurry vision, and low responses. She had an appointment with a neurologist this morning scheduled, but last night the rescue unit was called because she was completely unresponsive to her husband Jeremy's request.
The hospital in Cambridge immediately called the flight for life and flew her to Omaha. She made the trip, but the prognosis isn't good at all. They don't know if she'll survive. She and Jeremy have three little kids at home, Ava (4), Avery (2), and Avlynn (less than a year!). Please pray for the family, and those who will be traveling to Omaha to be with her during this difficult time. We will post new news as soon as we get it, but please, please, please pray for her.
*********************UPDATE********1:30pm******
Dad just spoke to Uncle Gary and she is undergoing some blood thinning treatment to her brain in an effort to try to slowly loosen up the blood clots, now referred to not as one big blood clot, but several smaller ones, according to the MRI. She can now answer "yes" or "no", but it is barely audible. Uncle Gary said she can squeeze your hand, but there are no responses or reactions in her eyes; she just stares. I guess any movement and response is definitely progress, and that's great! We're hoping to know more soon.
She will be a little out of sorts for a while today due to the effects of the treatment, but we should know more by evening. Thank you to all of you for the phone calls, thoughts and prayers. You can't imagine how much we appreciate it. We are hopeful for a good result here and your support means the world to all of us. Thanks!
