Just when we thought we were out of the woods

She was doing great.  Ate some lunch had a good walk, 2 laps around ICU.  Played two games of uno with me and then everything went downhill.

She said that she was feeling kind of nauseated.  The nurse gave her some medicine and she said that she wanted to lay down.  We got her situated and then she kept pulling at her arms saying that she couldn't get comfortable.  Her heart rate was racing and so was mine.  The nurse and I finally got her calmed down and she went to sleep.  I ran downstairs to get something to eat and came back and the nurse said she woke up and wanted to move.  The nurse moved her to her side and I came back.

I sat down and then her arm went stiff and I called the nurse and she started having a seizure.  Everyone one from the floor came running.  I just kept talking to her and then she finally calmed down.  They told me it was about 15 seconds, it felt like hours.  Kirk was on his way from cleaning out her apartment.  I texted him and asked him how far away he was.  I asked him if he could drive a little faster because Alyssa needed a blessing.

When she was trying to talk to me all she could get out was blessing and hot.  I told her, Dad was on the way.  Kirk, Patrick & Christopher, (Kirk's brothers) came rushing in.  They were about ready to give her a blessing and she had another seizure.  They got her calmed down enough for them to give her a blessing.  In the blessing Kirk told her that she was going to be fine and that Heavenly Father loves her and her time on the earth is not finished.  After the blessing they did a chest ex ray and took her to have have a ct scan.  This came back negative so she doesn't have any bleeding.  They think it is a reaction to that medicine.  We will not be giving her that medicine again.

She was resting comfortably and then she was in pain again and they gave her some more medicine and she asked if it was going to give her seizures.  The nurse assured her that it would not.  I hope we have a better night.

  1. Alyssa, this is Sister Walker from your BYU ward. Can't tell you how concerned we are for you! But after reading your dear Mom's updates we are encouraged that all will be well, eventually. What a strong, brave girl you are. And so blessed with a wonderful family. Our ward will be fasting for you and praying especially hard. Have faith in the priesthood blessings you've been given, there is such power in them. The bishop and I will be driving up this afternoon to visit sometime, if you are up to it. Take care, sweet girl.

  2. Kirk, Annalee and Alyssa,

    Thank you for giving us an opportunity to help last night. Christopher, Josh and I were glad to help your dad move your things from Provo to Brigham City.

    Get well soon, so we can help you move your stuff back from Brigham City to Provo. We're all looking forward to it.

    Continue to be strong, the Lord is not done with you yet.

    Patrick (Brenda and Zach)
