I haven't posted in a whole lot of detail, so I will try to catch everyone up now. Last Wednesday (February 16), Zach's Grandma Scheller had a stroke while she was standing up. This caused her to fall, and when she fell, she hit the back of her head and had a seizure.
The seizures continued and the doctors performed surgery around 6:00 Saturday night to try to reduce the blood building up in her head, which would hopefully cease the seizures. They were very unsure if she would be able to withstand the surgery. Zach called me at 9:00 (I had already agreed to babysitting and I knew I couldn't do anything at the Hospital, so I went ahead to babysit) and told me that she made it through surgery and was in the ICU recovering. When I got home at 9:45 we went back to the hospital to see her. She was still having seizures, but looked better than I thought she would after brain surgery. We went home around 11:00 that night.
Sunday morning we got up and went to visit her at around 9:30. She was still having seizures and looked a little worse due to the blood draining out of her head and down a tube. They told us to not really try and talk to her because any sort of stimulation seemed to trigger seizures. Today Zach's mom said she is doing maybe a little better as the seizures have become a little milder. We hope this is a step in the right direction for her.
Please pray for God's will in this situation. Pray that her seizures would stop and that God guide the doctors and nurses treating her. We appreciate all of you thinking of our family and will keep you updated.
