Unfortunately, Ava is back in the hospital. She had an unexplained seizure lasting quite some time and was transported via ambulance to the ER where she was intubated and is now in the ICU. She will have a CT scan to assess what might be the cause of her seizure; her platelets are really low, so they probably want to make sure she doesn't have any bleeding in her brain in addition to assessing other things.
Your continued prayers are immensely appreciated. Please pray for Gwen as well, as she witnessed the paramedics coming for Ava. Thank You, Lord, for providing today's manna. We receive it by faith and cling to Your mercy.
Update: CT scan came back normal, no intracranial hemorrhage. It's possible that the seizure could be a side effect of one of her medications (methotrexate). If so, Ava can be pretreated with medication to avoid this in the future. They will get an MRI to see if Ava's seizure was medication-related or not. Thanks for your prayers.
