Kenzie's Care

A couple weeks ago Makenzie (Kenzie) Gregory began having a severe headache.  Her mom, Stacie Gregory, took Kenzie to the doctor twice and had several phone appointments and phone consultations with doctors and nurses.  All of them told her it was just the flu and needed to run it's course. On Friday January 16, 2015, the headache was too much to bare and Kenzie's right eye began to swell so she was taken to the hospital. After several misdiagnosis and two hospital transfers she wound up in Kaiser Roseville's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit where they diagnosed her with Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis (CST) resulting from a sinus infection.  Kenzie has suffered 2 strokes which caused some brain damage.  Her pituitary gland has been damaged and she now has 2 forms of diabetes.  She is on hormone therapy to replace what the pituitary gland can no longer do. She also developed 2 blood clots in the main arterys behind the eyes and under the brain.  They are preventing the blood from properly flowing back to the heart so pressure is building up in Kenzie's brain.  They are now giving her blood thinners to try and shrink the clots so they can pass and hopefully dissipate before reaching the lungs. CST is very rare.  It can cause blindness and cognitive problems but is also very deadly. Stacie has been at the hospital with Kenzie 24/7 and has depleted all of her leave time at work.  Kenzie is expected to be in treatment for months. We are asking friends and family for their prayers and any support they can provide.
