Prayers needed for Sara

Some of you may remember the deal with Sara several months ago. To make a long story short, she developed a hematoma in her head. For those of you not familiar with medical terms, let me explain. It's where a bubble of blood develops, usually in your brain area. It's very bad, because if you get blood actually on your brain, you die.

Her hematoma several months ago was formed by a skull fracture. This morning, she has another suspicious-looking 'bubble' on her head. My mom just called us, and asked us to pray. She's very upset right now, because this same thing happening in the space of just a few months...doesn't look good.

Sara bumped her head last night Mom thinks, and that's probably our cause. Please pray that Sara will be OK, and that we'll be able to get this fixed without getting into any trouble with the government.

Thanks!



Update!
Sara is okay, no alarming symptoms and the ped doesn't seem worried. Were supposed to get a CT scan but didn't have the $750 to fork over and since Sara seems fine otherwise I decided to skip it. Ped called at about 6 pm and asked about Sara and said she wanted to see her on Mon at 9. She did not seem alarmed when I told her I didn't get the CT done, just sympathetic about the cost. So we shall see...

Praying for little Sara! Keep us updated. Can the hematoma heal and go away? Sounds very scary!

It will eventually go away on its own, but it just bothers me that she gets these soft bumps. I have six other kids and we've had plenty of bumps on the head! If she got huge goose-eggs that turned purple I wouldn't worry, that's 'normal' for a bump on the head. These soft ones though scare me...

Going to see the ped again this AM, will update after we get home.
