Rachel UpDate - Still a long way to go but getting there

My oldest daughter just called me about one of the 8th grade students at her school. The girl, Rachel, collapsed at dance class this evening with a brain aneurysm. She was CareFlight-ed to Children's Medical center and is being prepped for surgery now.

My daughter, their principal and some teachers are on the way to the hospital to stay with the family.

Any prayers, good thoughts and healing energies you all could send for Rachel, her family and the school family would be great.

The school lost a 6th grade boy the weekend before last in an ATV accident and the staff and students haven't completely come to terms with that loss yet and now this.

 

Sendng my best wishes Toni, and hope everything turns out ok.

 

Just talked to my daughter. It was a 2 inch aneurysm that burst and caused a stroke before she hit the floor at dance class.

The Dr. said it was the largest aneurysm they have ever seen in a child that size.

 

Every healing thought I can send is being transmitted to the young girl now Toni.

 

Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers going out for Rachel and her family.

All I know this morning is that she has no movement on her left side and a little on her right side. They are keeping her sedated for now and on a ventilator, she is more comfortable, painfree and it will help the swelling go down. She is having an MRI this morning but they don't know if it will show more than what the ones at 6:30 p.m. and 2:30 a.m. showed. She will probably be kept sedated for another 24-48 hours, so until then they don't really know just how extensive the damage to her brain is.
