Julia Update

So we have our first update: it turns out she has blood around her cerebellum. This is what was causing the seizure like symptoms (turns out they weren't actually seizures - EEG confirmed). The indications they have now is that the bleeding has stopped (which is great!), now we just have to wait for the blood to reabsorbed into the body. There is some risk with this (akin to dirt in a bathtub clogging the drain), but hopefully all will go well.

As a result, they are going to transfer her to Children's Hospital so that in the (hopefully) unlikely event that there is a "clog" they have better docs/equipment on hand.

Because the hematoma is around her cerebellum there shouldn't be any cognitive damage; if anything it will effect balance or motor skills (but again, that is worse case scenario).

So we are not out of the woods yet. Once the blood is absorbed, they will be able to assess if there is any damage to the cerebellum. Please be praying the the blood is absorbed seemlessly and that no damage is discovered. We have a lot of reason to be hopeful, but cautiously so.
