Starla went into remission during Induction I of chemotherapy, and began another round of chemo on October... 27, 2011.
On December 27, 2011 Starla was placed in PICU to have medication because the chemo had caused damage to her heart.
On January 3, 2012 Starla went into cardiac arrest after a seizure, She coded, and after 5 min. of chest compressions she was stable... her heart function had dropped to a deadly 6%. After being placed on ALL of the support medication available at the maximum limit, she was placed in a medically induced coma and on life support. we were told that Starla would not make it...there was nothing more medically that could be done, people just dont make it after such a low heart failure. This prayer page went from a little over 500 prayer warriors to over 15,000 in a matter of days. Starla's situation began to change daily.
In between the days of Starla being intubated, The Alabama Crimson Tide played in the BCS National Championship game...Team Starla supporter, AJ McCarron, quarterback, wore his Team Starla bracelet during the game, leading the tide to the 14th National Championship title and becoming the MVP of the game. The bracelet was given to AJ and his brother after a Christmas Eve visit to the hospital. This grasped the attention to local news stations, newspapers and etc, as we were contacted to discuss the Christmas Eve meeting with AJ with the news and newspapers...we accepted the interview and also askeed for prayers for Starla.
Starla made HUGE progress, shocking doctors and nurses. She was weaned from support meds, and extubated on January 22, 2012, the same night that a candlelight prayer was held at a park near the hospital. Several members of the community gathered...we continue to praise God for our miracle.
Starla is currently over a year off treatment and her heart has returned to its normal function!!!
