Round 2 - 17 days in.

Hey all it Krysten,

So last night after 6 attempts they placed an IV in my neck. Turns out I have a blood clot in my left arm. Looks like Im gonna be on blood thinners for about 3 months but I will be switching over to oral medications after a while. Tomorrow I have my swallow study so please pray that I can pass it, this way I can eat and drink what I want.

Love you all, thank you for all the support and prayers.

A new journey

Hey everyone. 
On Thursday around 2 pm krysten was taken by ambulance to Baltimore Washington medical center for a seizure. Before this she had been complaining of headaches and stomach aches. When she got to the ER they did a CT scan of her abdomen and head when they presented us with what they found it was completely out of left field. Having nothing to do with her CF the test showed a bleed in her brain 1.2x1.8cm in size. They almost immediately put her on a respirator and we had her transferred to Johns Hopkins hospital. After some test that nightly appeared that the bleed was not growing. The next morning she was doing better, answering questions and fallowing commands. They took her off the respirator that morning around 11 am. By about 4pm her condition had slowly deteriorated. They put her back on the respirator and took her for a cerebral angiogram. This checks blood vessels in the brain to make sure they are all functioning well, They found nothing. Now at this time Krysten is still on the respirator, and doctors are doing a EEG. I hope to meet with the doctors soon to find out what the next step is to getting my wife home. I will try to keep this updated as much as possible. Please keep Krysten in your prayers. She is a strong women and I know she can pull through. She knows through her Faith in GOD that He can heal her. It's up to us to ask and praise Him  for all of the blessing in Jesus Name! 

We love you all!
