MRI’s and stuff

The power of prayer!!
Miss Ruby had her umpteenth MRI this morning and they found that much of the air in her brain had dissipated.  
Yippee Jesus!
So now the plan is to gradually raise her head.
G.R.A.D.U.A.L.L.Y.
We tried this morning for an ever-so-slight upward move with the bed {remember she had been in an opposite position, feet were raised}….so this was just a teeny tad of a upward move. 
BUT
Before long she cried as though in some pain, her heart rate kicked up and Ruby started to sweat.  
She was given some pain meds and her bed lowered to flat 
and she was happy again.
Her heart rate keeps kicking up off the charts though.
ugh.
So I guess the word would be 
ever.so.slightly!

Thank you for praying.
The prayers are, no doubt, working!

  1. Glad things are looking good.

    Hey, how dare you not give us a picture to see with the update 🙂

    Guess what? We officially became foster parents about an hour ago! Now we just wait (they don't think it will be a long wait) to see who God places in our home.

  3. I'm getting close to my "Ruby Grace Hour of Prayer and Thanksgiving"…it's at 7:00 p.m.! I'm signed up for that time for the next few nights. aahh, just Jesus and Me, talkin' about Ruby Grace! Me, telling Him how excited I am for ALL HE has done in her short life and how much I'm looking forward to watching ALL He's got Planned for her Future! Last night, I asked Him: "How is it possible to love a Tiny Girl as much as I do, when I don't even know her?" HE said: "If you know ME, then you know Ruby Grace!" I smiled.
    Kiss Miss Ruby Grace for her Aunt Jo and consider yourself hugged, Linny! xxoo Jo

  4. Praise God! I'm sorry to bug you with a question, but how does the air affect her heart rate? It breaks my heart just reading about her discomfort. I can't imagine how you feel, Linny! Hugs to you as you keep loving on that sweet baby!

  5. Praise God. We have been praying and continue to pray for her. May he give her sweet sleep and heal her little body. Praying for all of your family as you walk this out. Love L Florida

  6. Good news to read today. I'm always in prayer for Baby Ruby but will be praying soon during the time slot I signed in for. Praying everyone involved will be tuned in to Ruby's comfort and ability to tolerate any changes. Praying with a grateful heart that God has been gracious and is relieving the air on her little brain and asking Him to continue according to His wisdom.
    Linny & Dwight, I am so thankful that although Ruby is having to go through this painful ordeal and y'all are not able to take it away, that she is home in a family who can love her and cherish her. God is amazing! The absolute wonder that her little life was ordained before the foundations of the world! AMEN! Ruby, be strong and live sweet girl! God bless you.

  7. Praise God for this result of MRI this morning. He is control of all of this and loves Ruby Grace more than we can imagine. Praying and so thankful for what you and your family do for the "family of God"
