Eva Update #5

So we were hoping there wouldn't be any more of these ... but here's the latest news on Eva:


Since being released from the hospital in mid-December, Eva has had two more episodes with a rapid heart beat. Once while we were in LA with Corrie's parents on 12/26 and then another this afternoon. We were able to break her out of the episodes on our own and her doctor was "excited" that we are catching and stopping them.

The unfortunate news is that since she has had two episodes within 10 days, they now want to put her on a different medication. At 8am on Monday, we will be headed back to the hospital so that they can put her on the new medication and they will have to monitor her for 3 days! We are not looking forward to another hospital stay.

Emotionally this has really taken its toll on us. We are keeping the faith and remaining in relatively good spirits, but it is extremely difficult to adjust to life in the 'real world.' Corrie began working full time again this week and my work season is picking up now that students are back.

Pray for peace and patience. While we wish things were different, we have to learn to live in this new normal for our little family.

Thanks for journeying through this with us.

Love,

Adam & Corrie
