More Iky Testing

According to dad, "it was an electrifying day with some shocking experiences". Ok, Dad has a warped sense of humor and he wasn't the one having to comfort Katelyn as she cried and screamed (but it did make her laugh tonight when he came up with the phrase).


All that to say, we headed back to UC Davis this afternoon for some more tests. They did some brain wave and nerve conduction studies. The good news is that it was painful , the bad news was that it was painful!! This means that the pain indicated the nerves were working in some capacity but it was very difficult for her to go through. We don't know the final results but there was some "weird" responses by the nerves on the side where she isn't able to feel touch.

(Katelyn's memory of the experience is a follows: awful, terrible, painful, they electricuted me and poked me!)

But, that is done now and hopefully will lead to some answers or atleast rule out some more things. The good part of the afternoon was seeing a few of her favorite nurses at the hospital and having ice cream in the cafeteria with our dear friend Faye who went with us. (Praise God for her being there to help me comfort Katelyn).

Her neck strength continues to improve and she spent 2 hours tonight painting with her Grandma :)

Please pray as we continue to pursue a second opinion and look into other medical facilities for guidance.

Please pray for her to get some sleep as she continues to wake up every 2-3 hours at night to be turned. (Robert and I could use some long term shut-eye also).

Last, please pray for Rebecca as she left Sunday morning with her Girl Scout troop for Lassen camping and won't be back until Wed. night.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support along this journey!
