Meriah was discharged from the UVA Medical Center around noon today. Meriah is doing great!
The neurologist said that the last EEG was better than the first one, though it is not completely normal. (The neurologist hadn't said this before.) Meriah has a follow-up appointment with the neurologist in 2 months.
Adam and Crissy are happy to be home. Adam says the whole experience feels like a dream.
Meriah's parents look forward to meeting with visitors; however, they would prefer fewer visitors this week as they settle. If you would like to visit them, please call ahead to make sure it is a good time. The doctors have said that Meriah should not go out publicly for several weeks and that she shouldn't be held by very many people. If you are able to visit, please don't expect to hold Meriah.
What a journey. Praise God!

Jan says:
When we were praying for Meriah on the second day of her life, one of our group prayed, "Lord, we know we're in a battle and innocent lives are taken. But, Lord, not this baby, please? Not this one." And with tears we earnestly prayed for her life and health. Ever since that day, I have had a supernatural faith and trust in the Lord for little Meriah - and you, Adam and Crissy. And look at where He has led! It has been a privilege to witness miracles first hand. Thank you, Lord!
