It's Jenny again. First off, Jody and Mike want to thank you all so much for all your thoughts and prayers. I wanted to let you all know that your prayers are working! I believe prayer is a powerful thing and that Heavenly Father is hearing all your prayers and is watching over little Savannah.
Savannah has been seizure free since late last night and has started coming out of her coma. She can look around, drink juice and eat jello and say "mama". It's just so amazing to me that they have such great friends and family offering such wonderful support and love.
Our brother in law Aaron was able to contact Jody and Mike's bishop and he contacted a bishop in La Hoya , CA. to come help give Savannah a blessing. Its amazing how the church works and is so fast to help out fellow members. I teased to my husband, "the church is just as fast in communication as the internet" (which we have gotten amazing responses of prayers and thoughts from blogs, emails and facebook) It's so different from utah, where in our hospitals all they have to do is page overhead, "can we have 2 elders come to room......" and immediately 5 or 6 are up there. but it is also so wonderful that even in another state the church is just as willing to help out by having the bishop of a close by ward come to help.
The EEG and MRI came back with normal results showing that right now she isn't having other seizures and she has no tumors or masses. Her brain activity is all normal, so as you can imagine that is a huge relief to us all. The neurologist says he is cautiously optimistic. He wants to keep her until at least tuesday afternoon to make sure she doesn't have any more seizures. And wants her to get back to her baseline of walking and talking as well. Right now she can move a little but still can't hold her head up, which is mainly due to all the medications they have given to her. They still don't know exactly what is happening with her so they will be sending her home on anti seizure meds and have sent all the results to primary childrens hospital where she will be evaluated when they return back to utah. Jody says the hospital and doctors have been wonderful and they are thankful for all their work and thankful for all your prayers. Keep them coming as Savannah is still not out of the woods.
I will continue to update when I know more.

wow...I can't imagine being able to page elders like that over the intercom of the hospital. Usually unless it's a church activity Brandon and I are the only members there. I'm so glad Savannah is doing better! Our prayers are still wit her.
We are happy to hear that things are going better for Savannah. Our hearts just sank when we heard that she was sick...it kind of starts wearing you down when you hear of kids getting sick. We just all wish that they could be healthy all the time and not have to go through stuff like this. Please know that you are all still in our prayers and hopefully you can move back home soon! Love you.
We are so thankful to hear that things are going well. It made my heart sink to hear about little Savannah. Hope you can get home soon, and hope that you are all well.
