Ally Update

Hi Everyone - I talked to Lisa this morning and wanted to update everyone as best that I can. A lot of information was passed my way so if I don't go into a lot of detail I will once I get confirmation as to what I am talking about.
Yesterday Ally had around 20-30 seizures just in a 7-8 hour period. Lisa called her pediatrician who then told them to go to the ER. At the ER they gave her another steroid blast and started the steroids again to help with the swelling.  They decided that they needed to transport Ally back to Oakland Kaiser hospital where she will remain until the steroids are completed.  She should be able to come home either Friday or Saturday.  They also did another spinal tap and everything from that looked good.  The doctors told Lisa that some of the test done a while ago came back positive for antibodies.  This means that the antibodies could be the thing that has caused the encephalitis.  So with that said they are starting her on a very low dose of chemotherapy that she will have once a month.  This is so it can bring her immune system down and basically kill anything that is not supposed to be in her body in the first place.  They are doing an MRI today at 2pm to be sure everything looks normal and to check on the swelling to see if things have changed.
Please Pray for the them as this is really draining on each one of them. Pray for answers Pray and believe that Ally is going to be healed from this and she can go on living her life as an 8 year old little girl.  Pray for strength, wisdom and peace for Joe and Lisa as this has been so hard on them both physically and emotionally. Pray for Katelyn and Morgan as they watch their sister go in and out of the hospital. Pray that the MRI comes back clean and shows NO swelling.
We all need to come together and pray for Healing KNOWING that our LORD JESUS WILL heal her. We know that He is with them every step of the way and knows what HE is doing.  This is where our faith in Jesus comes in, lets pray believing!!!

Everyone where ever you are tonight at 7:00pm sharp lets all pray for healing for Ally. There is something about prayers in numbers. Lets cry out to God together!!!!!!


and after that just continue for safe travels, comfort rest, wisdom and the peace that surpasses all understanding
