Another one. Happened yesterday.
Fourth one. Her third occurred 1/3/12 and she was still recovering from that one. :'( Going to visit her in the next couple of days. Please keep her in your prayers. Thank you.

Update 1: Finished her MRI. Waiting for results
She's doped on drugs and trying to deal with the pain.

Update 2: Facebook post from mom
Sorry for taking so long to get this update out to all of you wonderful people! I still feel like this is not real, and it has been a very busy and emotional day. Good news is that Madeline is stable in the PICU at Duke University Hospital. God has been with her every step of the way and he is still with her. She is in good spirits, moving from the bed to chair for short intervals, and resting much more comfortably tonight.
Her headache and neckache is much better controlled on the Fentanyl pump. Her CT scan was finally done late this evening and they cleared her to eat. She has been asking for food ALL day! I thought that was a really good sign!
Dr. Grant said this bleed was not quite as large as her bleed in January. They will monitor her as they did last time for a few days to ensure there are no complications with the drainage of the blood.
I don't have an official report from the CT tonight, but it must be unchanged or someone would have come by to tell me different! Praise God for her progress thus far. If you ever thought Madeline was a fighter- stop thinking it- you can know it for sure!!!! Strongest young lady ever!!!!!

My update on Facebook
Update 2: Shes currently resting in her bed at Duke. She has had dinner and the pain is under control for now. The CT scans are done but we don't know the official results, but Mrs. Ray believes that since Madeline was able to eat, then she must be okay.

But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope.

Prayers and good wishes sent her way. I recently had my fourth stroke, but I'm not a teen - I have lupus/rheumatiod arthritis and vasculitis (bad combination). Strokes are no fun.
