WOW are you all the bestest group of people a girl could have!!! I so appreciate the prayers and support. You have NO IDEA how much it helps me get through. This entire 1 1/2 year process thus far, has aged me 10 years-I swear.
I have excellent news-prayers are really workin!
How many people pray for their child to have a bacterial infection? Seriously?
Well when you child cant effectively fight a VIRUS- you do.
Alexa looks AMAZING today!! Like a whole new girl. Antibiotics are workin and her immunity levels have sky rocketed-in a good way, so much so that they are testing to ensure her immunity level is where it says it is. The test called IVIG. So lets pray that God is showing his power.
If her immunity is LOW then they want to attempt to SAFELY administer IVIG to her. Alexa had an anaphylacitc reaction to that last time they attempted it-like serious!
So Im not too sure Im down with that-even attemptig it again is reall scary, so they may have to get through me FIRST cause Im not thinkin thats gonna happen.
BUT lets see what happens first.
She has gone back to being demanding and ordering me around for 3 different flavors of ice cream and all that fun stuff!
Needless to say, if all stays well, no fevers, she can get through the night without O2 then we can go home tomorrow!!!
YEAH!!! Im still going abit nutty here-not havin any good coffee! You know me and my Dunkin Donuts. I hardly slept at all-the chair by day bed by night does not cut it. No complaints-it could be worse, I know.
Also an update of the CHaD fundraiser-they were hoping to raise $25,000, and they raised $34,000!! Yeah!! And to all of you who may have participated-thank you!
ll let ya know!

Yay! Thanks for the update Lauren. There are TONS of people praying for you, so I am so glad that our prayers seem to be helping!
Awesome news Lauren! Thanks so much for the update! Continued prayers that she won’t need the IVIG.
Wonderful news, Lauren! Thanks for keeping everyone updated. Glad Alexa is doing better – hoping you both will come home tomorrow.
Sorry about the coffee situation and the sleeping arrangements.
YEAH!!!! Glad she perked up a bit and it can be treated. Continued prayers for Alexa (oh ya and you too 😉 ) and finding good ice cream and coffee. Hugs, Nicky
Yah! Lauren this is GREAT news! I’ve been waiting to hear how things are going and it’s nice that all the prayers are being answered! I know none of us like to have orders barked at us by our kids but in times like this it is surely welcomed, I’m sure! Hope that all goes well today and she can make it home for a speedy recovery. Just in time for her princess party!
YEA!!! This is such good news!!!! So glad Alexa is doing better!!! I wish there was a way to send you some good coffee!!!! If I could, I’d deliver it in person!!! Continuing prayers for Alexa to fully recover and not need to IVIG!!!
Oh, happy blessings!!! This will make MY birthday a brighter one! Hi, Alexa! Glad you’re feeling better! Keep on getting well & driving Mom nuts(ier)!
I’m so glad to hear this good news! The prayers worked. I sure hope she gets home to have a great birthday party!!

Wonderful news Lauren! thanks for letting us know and I’ll keep Alexa in my prayers that she can have a birthday party fit for the princess!
Great news! I’ll keep prayin’!!! I hope you get some good coffee soon! 🙂
Lauren,
I’m doing the happy dance, can you see me? We spoke via e-mail last week and you know that I couldn’t be more excited for you! I have everything possible crossed for a positive result on the test. And isn’t it funny how when our kids are feeling ill that we get so excited when they start to boss us around again. Just love those little voices of joy! I am terribly sorry about the DD coffee. I would die with out mine 🙂 Everytime my guy goes back to the hospital my hubby knows that he can’t come back in the morning unless he has found a DD coffee. Please keep us in the loop. We’re here for you and your princess!
What wonderful news! Praying that she continues to improve and can go home tomorrow and have her Princess party this weekend!
WOO-HOO.. Go Princess Alexa! SO glad she is doing better. Princess power and prayer power? This “bacteria” is toast!! She will be at her party for sure…I just know it!! Sorry about the coffee. YIKES…I love coffee too, so I feel your pain.
such good news, i’m so happy for you! instead of your kahlua drink, you should ask for a valium drip instead!
Lauren, I felt this morning when i read your other post, everything is going to be ok….I am too doing a happy dance for both of you….Alexa is an amazing little girl…and you are a terrific mother to her….big hugs and happy thoughts for both of you…
Praise God!! That’s awesome news, Lauren!! Give Miss Princess a hug from her PSF Aunties!

Prayer is a powerful tool, so glad it is working. I just know it is going to be an awesome party. Be well Lauren..lots of love to the family!
GREAT news! We will continue to pray.
Such a positive and uplifting post. I’m so glad to hear about Alexa’s improving status. I have been thinking of you all since I read the prior post yesterday. You & Alexa will continue to be in my prayers:) Good coffee is so important isn’t it:) …I have to have my fix from Dunkin’ Donuts daily before taking on the day!
Again, let me know if you need anything…I wish I could call the charge rn so she can notify staff that’s coming into work and they can stop and bring you some coffee:) I think due to HIPPA they might think I was a little wacked:)
Hugs to all! Hang tight! Keeping you all in my thoughts.
Thanks for the happy update Lauren,we’ll keep praying cause I know it does work!!!!
Hang in there!!!!
I’m so glad Alexa is doing better.
so glad to hear Alexa’s doing better! After spending 3 weeks in the hospital w/my oldest daughter on a vent my heart goes out to anyone in a similar situation! We will be praying for her speedy recovery.
Praise the Lord! That was exactly what I wanted to read when I came to your blog today!
That is so awesome to hear. Thank god. I hope all goes well and she can go home soon!
Yeah for Alexa!! So glad prayers are being answered and your stay in Hanover will be brief!!
Well, the prayers never stop! You need all you can get and we all have a lot to give out! HE will answer! Have faith!
Wish we even had a Dunkin Donut in this time, I’d do my best to fly one out to you!
You hang there, the Princess will make it home!
Lauren,
I’m so relieved to hear Alexa is doing better. I have read about her on your blog, and she seems like an absolute joy! My thoughts and prayers are with you, Alexa, and the rest of your family.
I don’t know you, other than through your wonderful blog, but I’m so happy to hear that things are looking up. I’m sending my positive thoughts that Alexa will continue to improve!
Yay!! That is awesome! I hope for a full recovery right away!! 😀
Praise God! He is good – all the time! So glad Princess Alexa is improving!!

I am glad to hear your princess is doing better, I hope you will be home soon.
Oh, so glad Alexa is improving! I hope she will be feeling wonderful for her Princess Party! God bless you all always 🙂
Great news Lauren! Thanks for keeping up updated.
I am so glad that she is doing better. I hope she is home tomorrow. I’m praying for you guys.
Awesome news! Keep us updated, glad she’s doing better. Prayers are still coming your way!
such good news lauren! Keep us posted! Hopefully she’ll be ready for a great bday party!!!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!!!
On With the Princess Party!!
YES!!! (raises fist in air) Praise the Lord!! Well the docs can think all they want about giving her that nasty stuff, but we know it’s God that’s raising her immunity levels.
So glad Alexa is on the mend. Hope you get home tomorrow. It is tough without good coffee. Take care of yourself and Alexa.
Lauren,
I certainly have had Alexa in my prayers and am so glad to hear that she is doing well. Thank you for your comment on my project at SCS. And thank you so much for the bottle card! Can I just say that even in little ways God is so mysterious. He must have directed me to your website knowing that you needed prayers and I needed an idea for my sister’s baby shower! I ran out to Michael’s and bought the ribbon immediately and made the boy bottle today. It is SO much cuter in person-the picture is cute, but doesn’t do it justice. I’m CASE’ing it as my invitation with only one change! Thanks so much!
Thanks for the updates Lauren..I have Alexa in my prayers
and family as well.
I am so glad to hear that she is improving. Dartmouth is a
great hospital…I am sure she is getting great care.
Keep your faith…Take Care.
Prayers for all.
Dee
good to hear!!!
Ohhh Lauren, I am just catching up on your blog and read the news of Alexa. Thank goodness for the better news today on her progress! May she keep strong and fighting!! Will keep thinking of you all!
Awesome news! I will keep the prayers coming!
I am so happy for you and your family that is is not a virus. Alexa is certainly in our prayers. I can’t imagine how it is when your little one is so sick. You are such an inspiration to all of us. Cheers, Beatrice
So glad she’s doing better, Lauren . . . continued prayers coming your way.
Thanks so much Lauren for the update! So glad she is doing better!
On another note, we don’t have any Dunkin’ Donuts left in MN!!!! I have been so bummed about that for YEARS! So glad they are still around somewhere!
