4 month old Grant is starting to crawl, so that’s crazy.
We are missing it because we’ve been in the ICU with Auds for a couple days. Going to be here for more.
Weekend could be better.

Yeah family has been rotating with the G-Man.
Same thing as last time but worse. She had a fever for a couple days that was controlled with Tylenol/Motrin, acting normal just a little tired. Then she woke up Friday and was inconsolable. After a couple hours we were about to head to the pediatrician and she was basically non-responsive, so ER instead.
A couple days and a whole lot of tests later, she did have some sort of infection and ended up with inflammation in various areas of her brain, with a couple small bleeds. She didn’t seem to be able to move her left arm and leg. Hard to tell if speech, senses, memory, etc are impacted at this point.
They are thinking it may be some sort of mitochondrial disease/disorder. She had a second round of sample collection yesterday; blood, urine, cerebro-spinal fluid. We’re waiting on results of new tests with all that to narrow things down. Currently getting heavy duty steroids for the brain inflammation, antibiotics, some supplements that may be helpful with these types of conditions, Tylenol, and being fed through a tube.
A couple small improvements today; she’s had some time conscious where she wasn’t just crying, and at one point when she was upset she did move her left arm a few times lifting her hand from down at her side to on her chest.
Keep the content going here guys, I need some entertainment I can fall back on.
No words. Fuck.
