And He said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."
2 Corinthians 12:9

Seizures

We are so blessed to have you as a friend and faithful prayer warrior!! M, B and I have truly felt your love during this frustrating journey. How do people without dear friends survive??
While we are all exhausted from life in the hospital, we are also blessed in that we are finally receiving answers....The Neurologist has determined that M's episodes are really "temporal lobe seizures". As no family history or trauma exists, they deduce it is from an unknown cause. The diagnosis while initially scary, is welcome. We now have a starting point to begin treatment and healing. They have administered the anti-seizure medication and it is working.
The plan is to experiment with the dose, reach a therapeutic level that stops the seizures and then tackle the POTS and the diabetes insipidius. The good Aggie Neurologist believes we may see some spontaneous improvement in the latter two by successfully controlling the seizures. Please continue to pray as we still have such a long way to go. The medication has not relieved the nausea and dizziness, as of yet, and M will need assistance for some time.
Prayerfully, her health will improve and she can eventually return to work and the "normal' life she and B so richly deserve.
We are blessed to be surrounded by supportive family and friends like you!
Thank you,
Love,
M's Mom, M and B
