Thank you for praying – Eloise is home!

Thank you so much for praying, it definitely felt like the tide changed after people started praying!

Eloise was discharged from St George’s yesterday afternoon, with consultants all happy that it was an undiagnosed infection, that had responded well to IV antibiotics (Eloise is ‘on fire’ now these have kicked in) and that it wasn’t a shunt infection or blockage.  Eloise is super fortunate not to have had any shunt issues to date, so we keep praying that this continues. 

Eloise is being sent home on further oral antibiotics, but will also start a prophylactic antibiotic over the winter months to help her weaker immune system.  It won’t help viral infections, but the hope is, is that it might help prevent and/or fight bacterial or secondary bacterial infections.  We hope that this might mean she has less infections and/or they might not impact her so severely (neurologically in her case). 

Thank you so much for praying.  It is so wonderful to be all at home together again.  We are all much more peaceful after a few anxious and unpredictable few days.

We missed a few things this past week, including our church nativity.  But Eloise introduced the hospital ward to the Christmas song the children had been practicing for it.  We thought some of you might enjoy it too.  Whatever Christmas looks like for you, we pray you find moments of Joy.

For those that pray:

  • Give thanks that it was ‘just an infection’ and that Eloise has responded well to IV antibiotics
  • Give thanks for all those involved in her care.
  • Pray that Eloise gets stronger – that she doesn’t pick up so many infections, and that infections don’t impact her neurologically.
