Update

The past few days have been a whirlwind. We've had a few good moments but a lot of hard ones too. Last night it was hard for Erik and I to pull our eyes away from the monitors. Things were not looking great, but it's almost 24 hours later and Lucy is resting better than she has for the past several nights.

Human emotions are a crazy thing. One moment Erik and I can be sobbing uncontrollably and then in a snap talking about making the bed. The tears come fast and heavy. And then we find strength that is unexplainable to make it through the next moment.

We spent a good deal of time today talking to doctors. I am begging for a schedule..a plan. But the reality is that there is nothing at all we can plan. Nothing.

We will remain in the hospital until Lucy is stable enough to come home. The goal is to get her home as soon as possible so that we can spend some good time together as a family. For that to happen everyone agrees that a full course of antibiotics to treat meningitis needs to be administered. That will happen over the next week with an evaluation at the end to determine if another week is necessary.

Thank you for your continued prayers, love and support.

  64. You're family definitely seems like a part of all of our families. We hurt for Lucy as well. We cry, we pray, we hope, we ask God for a miracle to happen, because I know He can spare this child and completely heal her.

    I, too, check your blog for any updates on Lucy, as we all sit here wanting to know what is happening. You are not alone, though I will never even attempt to know how you feel...but I hope you feel all of our prayers. I also pray that blogging is some sort of outlet for you.

    If you did need anything AT ALL, just let us know on here or facebook. Any of us could and would do anything you needed in a heartbeat and bring whatever to you. You have a family larger than you know, Kate.

    Much love.
    Rebecca

  66. If you ever wonder the profound effect this little girl has had on the world look at the counter at the bottom of your blog. She has touched so many hearts and has so many people praying for her and her family. You are amazing God has a plan through all of this even though right now I am sure that you are hating his plan I am certainly not liking it. However he makes no mistakes and Lucy is going to continue to do Gods work for years to come through others that have been touched by her life. I am so sorry for the pain your are going through right now I truly can't imagine but just know I am praying for each of you. Praying for things to continue to go in the direction of getting Lucy HOME.

  67. Dearest Kate, So grateful for the update, I have been holding my breath waiting to hear something/anything any bit of information on Lucy. My heart is heavy and hopeful at the same time. I've been walking around Bartlett for the last few days in a fog over this situation. Everyone is sending you such wonderful messages and I find myself completely unable to write with eloquence tonight. I just want to say to you one more time that I love Lucy, you and your entire family. God does make miracles, and I am praying for one for Lucy. I will not stop asking, praying, begging for one of his miracles period. My friend Brandi (Mignard) sent me a message to make sure I knew what was happening, she knew I would want to know. We are both FaceBooking our love for Lu, and praying for her comfort and a that the antibiotics will be their job quickly. We just want Lucy home. Sending you healing HUGS and prayers. ~ Jodi Ball

I know you said before that you read all these comments...just wanted you to read again...Lucy is making her mark on the WORLD! Sweet Sweet Lucy =)
    I HATE that y'all are going thru this..I like others cant imagine what you are feeling as a mother. I did this before but especially now, I sit and watch my little 3yr old girl sleep & just pray over her constantly...Sometimes we just don't realize until stories like Lucy's how blessed we all are. I hurt for you and your family! I pray for comfort and peace for Lucy so she can be home with you and the family. I pray for you, Erik, Precious Ella and Sweet Jack for peace as well.

I only pray that you all find peace and comfort and that your sweet Lucy can return to her home to be with you all. I think constantly about your sweet Ella. She seems like an amazing little girl and reminds me so much of my 8 year old daughter. Extra special prayers for her and her healing. Im not sure why these things in life need to happen... and I'm so sorry that you are going through this. I will continue to pray for you all.

    Kate,
    Every time I log into this blog, I see Lucy with her sign in the picture, HOPE. This is what she and your family have given this community and the people around the country that read this blog, HOPE. HOPE that no matter what, we wil have the strength to get through whatever he lays before us. Your blog has touched me so much, when my father died, I was so consumed with how I felt and how I was to cop with this loss, that I never realized how my own fathers mother was feeling. I could only fell my pain. Thank you so much for your honesty in this blog. You have truely helped me make some changes in my life, you have hlep me understand the love a parent has for a child. This blog is a testimony for the people who read it. I dare put a number on how many people you have lead to Christ through this blog, how many people you have helped cop with their on issues. I want to thank you for sharing your life with us, you and your family are truely a blessing. I continue to pray for Lucy, you, Erik, Ella and Jack and I pray that this community continues to have HOPE.

  101. Well said, Laurie. They say that God never gives us more than we can handle. I know at times in my own life, I found this really hard to believe and to take comfort in. But the hard times make you stronger. I'm in awe of your strength and compassion. Just continue to hold Lucy--there's nothing stronger than a mother's love for a child. There is no safer place to be in this world than in a mother's embrace. I pray for Lucy and your family for peacful days ahead when you are able to bring Lucy home.

  102. That has been one of my prayers for your family and one that I have asked others to pray; that Lucy will be able to come home and enjoy some time with her family. I will continue to pray for this...

  104. So much outpouring of love and support.....all because of this precious child. This has to be part of God's plan....bringing so many people together in prayer to show us there is still abundant love in people. We have so much madness going on in the world today, but one little girl can bring out so much good in people and bring us together in this, Thank you, Lucy. We love you so much.

  105. Kate, I do agree with Laurie - Thank You! for sharing - I notice several people say they have been checking through out the day for an update and I find myself doing that. So many prayers for Lucy - Lucy we don't know except through your eyes and pictures but we love her smile and the way she takes in your heart. God is truly using your family to reach many people - we will continue to pray that the sunshine touches Lucy's face - we will pray for a miracle - we will pray that his will be done - that if God should chose that the Angels open their wings to welcome our special little girl as she stands before our father - So much love going out for you and your family at this time...

  107. Hi Kate,
    I am so glad to hear that Lucy was able to have a restful night and I am so glad to hear there are moments when you and Erik feel unexplainable strength. That is God and the presence of the Holy Spirit. Keep looking at Jesus, He is carrying you through all of this.

    Continuing to stand in the gap and seeking a miracle for Lucy.

  109. Blessed Kate and family,
    I have followed your story for some time now and was introduced to little Lucy through a bible study companion in my home town. I have no words that are adequate. I find you to be a true profile in courage. May God grant all of you all that you need to meet the days ahead. My family is praying for peace,strength,calm in this storm,no suffering for Lucy. Your story truly humbles all of us. We take so much for granted in this life,but through you we should step back and all realize our many blessings both large and small. May God walk with you and Lucy.

    In our hearts and prayers,

    Sue

  110. How do you appropriately and adequately express gratitude to a mother who makes the time to update us all while in a near constant state of anguish? It is clear that you have been Lucy's source of strength. I could never be like you...I would be bitter and selfish and unsharing. I am in awe of your strength as a mother. Thank you for sharing your journey with sweet Lucy. I pray for continued strength for you.
