Just got an update from Mom and Dad.
Taylor is still in critical condition and her left lung is still collapsed. She is also running a fever now, which usually indicates an infection. The Doctors are busy trying to figure out what is causing this. They had her on an antibacterial medicine already but have moved her to something broader. They also performed an Echocardiogram this morning, this uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart. They haven’t gotten an update on this yet.
This morning they did a Sonogram on her brain and based off the results the Doctor ordered an EEG (Electroencephalogram; Brain wave test). Yesterday they said they were told it was too early to do any tests to determine brain activity due to Taylor being heavily sedated. So we aren’t sure why they decided to do these tests...
As I was typing this post I received a call from Dad and a text from Jeff. The initial tests show that Taylor may have suffered a significant brain injury from when she stopped breathing for 10 minutes. I’m praying that the key word here is “initial tests” and perhaps the fact that she is heavily sedated impacted the tests.
On a brighter note, the fluids in her lungs seems to be clearer, and this is a good sign And her pulse is stronger.
Jeff is asking for us to pray for a miracle.
