Sunday the nurses and doctor told us we would be able to take Alexa home Friday. We decided not to tell anyone, for fear of bad karma. Last night we were still on for staying the night with her and taking her home Friday. We said bye to all our friends and took pictures with all the nurses. Then, this morning our nurse told us Alexa had a serious episode last night that required oxygen to stabilize her. So, they've delayed her going home again. I guess it's a good thing she's not going home until she's ready - we're just ready for her to be ready. The doctor doesn't know what's wrong with her yet. He's concerned that her episodes are becoming more frequent and that she's having a hard time maintaining her body temperature. They did some tests on her this morning and because her red blood cell count was low, they decided she needs a transfusion. They'll do that today at 1:30.
As always, your prayers are much appreciated, felt, and needed.

Trevor and Melissa,
We know that it must be hard to face the dissapointment of not being able to bring Alexa home again. We want you to know that we check her blog and keep your new sweet family in our prayers often. We are taught to be specific when when we pray and maybe now is the time we should all be specific. Our prayer is that the Doctors will be able to find what is causing these episodes and that they will be able to find a solution that will enable her to be home without further setbacks. This is our prayer for your family. Thank you for taking time to update the blog. Please know that although we don't talk much our love and compassion for you are always here.
Thanks for the encouragement and great advice. As always, your prayers are much appreciated!
