Christopher GeorgeLocation: New Market, VA, USAI am a dabbling singer/songwriter. I play guitar, piano, mandolin, and upright bass. Though I enjoy fairly limited influence from the very wide world of genres and talent, I am enjoying the process of reducing this limitation.

Meriah update (August 25, 7:30pm)
Submitted by christopher on Tue, 2009-08-25 18:45
We have arrived at UVA and are visiting with Adam and Crissy.
They have received MRI results. The head doctor said there are brain abnormalities, but they can't say what the outcome will be. They can't say that there are serious problems, but there is widespread evidence of oxygen deprivation, which causes physical changes from what it should be. They don't know exactly what it means. They will have to keep checking Meriah's brain's development periodically.
Right now Meriah is doing everything normal for her age. The head doctor had a more optimistic tone. It could be that nothing is wrong, or that she'll have a limp, or be near sighted. There could be potential problems with seizures.
Meriah's tremors are only occasional now. She is not doing all the odd tongue movements that she was doing, but she is still on the phenobarbital, which may be inhibiting this.
Meriah's feeding tube was removed. She is still getting some nourishment via IV. She continues to nurse eight times a day.
Meriah is back on oxygen because she had a hard time maintaining her oxygen level while nursing.
We don't know the status of the seizures at this point, but keep this in prayer. Pray that she will be able to get back off of oxygen. Pray that she will be able to get off the IV and nurse on demand.

Christoper, Thanks so much for keeping us updated. Our God is an awesome God and we will continue to pray that He will heal Meriah. I work in an office with neurologists and they told me today that amazing healings have taken place with infants that they have no medical explantation for!!! Please let Adam and Crissy know they are in our hearts and prayers. We miss you and hope you can feel all the love that is in our hearts. May all of you have a peaceful night. Please give Meriah a hug from Uncle Rick and Aunt Mary

Christopher,
Convey our love, hugs and prayers to Adam, Chrissy, and Meriah. Tell them Jerry and I are surrounding their family with prayers and love for God's continuing blessings. Tell you Christopher for your continuous updates. Without them those of us receiving them could not be kept abreast of what's going on.
Keep blessing us with your improving Meriah.
God bless and protect you all.
Mama Linda

Thanks Crhristopher for the MRI update. May we all continue to keep our eyes on God as we have seen Him work miracles throughout this journey. He keeps His eyes on the sparrow so we know He is watching Meriah! Keep praying--He is listening! Even though you do not see Him in that hospital room He is right there with you & Meriah with His arms stretched open wide--He loves us all so much!! Ron & Janet
