This is Michele's sister posting. Michele called this morning asking if I would update Gracie's situation so we could quickly gather as many prayers as we could for Gracie.
Yesterday, at home, it was noticed that Gracie's left arm and leg weren't moving. Michele called cardiology and they told her Gracie may have suffered a stroke and to bring her back to Primarys.
After she arrived last night the news seemed good. The CT scan didn't not find a clot in the brain, and she was already moving her left shoulder. They did, however, suspect there were clots somewhere else in the body. During her Cath Lab on Tuesday the doctors tried three times to find a vein that wasn't blocked. They fear that this may have dislodged a clot, causing the stroke.
Michele came home to sleep while Tom stayed at the hospital last night. The plan was for Gracie to get an MRI today to find out where the clots may be. Unfortunately Michele got a call earlier this morning informing her that Gracie's heart rate is high and her breathing has become labored. It looks as if the stroke has caused sweet Gracie to go into heart failure. They are going to intubate her and do a Echocardiogram and a MRI. They fear there may be a clot in her heart.
We are asking on this Valentine's Day to pray for Michele and Tom's little sweet'heart'....and hope for another miracle.
Thank you so much.

Thank you, Stephanie, for keeping us informed. I am so sorry about this downturn in events. Your little Gracie has brought such joy to your family and has made you stronger people.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you! Thought you might appreciate the words of a hymn that came to my mind - How firm a foundation - Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed, For I am thy God and will still give thee aid. I'll strengthen thee, help thee,and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, upheld by my righteouus, omnipotent hand. The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose I will not, I cannot, desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never, no never, I'll never, no never forsake! Love the Lewis Family.
I was just in SLC visiting my children and thought of you since I knew you live there, somewhere in the valley. I wish I could do something for you and your family. Please know that I pray for Gracie every day.
I don't know if you remember me or not, but we bought your house in Lehi from you and I am Matt Alger's sis in law. I have been following Gracie's blog since she was born. Your faith and Gracie's story touched my heart as our family was going through some tought times with our little one. We had our baby at Primarys for 5 weeks last summer, so I know how the "Hotel on the Hill" is! Just wanted you to know that you are in our thoughts and prayers at this time and we are hoping that Gracie will get that new heart soon!
