Memorial Hermann

Well, here we are at the world famous Houston Medical Center...Memorial Hermann. After a whirlwind start to our morning in the EMU (Epilepsy Monitoring Unit) we were met by a very sweet friend, who happens to work with the Neurosurgeon that we might be working with should M have surgery after all our phase 1 studies are done, that was able to bring comfort and a smile to our day!

Thanks for your prayers. They are truly felt and we even got an answer today as we had an awesome nurse that was able to make us have total ease after our rocky start. So, as our day has come to an end, M has had 2 seizures recorded on the video monitoring system. Please pray that our time with the Epileptologist tomorrow morning will be productive and we will get a more clear direction to our time and answers in this long battle. We also anticipate that we will be having the MEG scan done fairly soon. The MEG is the main reason for us to be here as there are less than a dozen or so in the U.S. that can do this scan. From our understanding, this scan is able to better pinpoint the seizure's location in the brain without having to go into surgery. This scan will also be a good indicator if M is truly a surgery candidate or not.

Prayer requests:
M's peace
M's strength to endure another week in a hospital
Clear direction
Dr. S's openness to his approach and treatment plan
That we both would be vessels for Lord while here.
B's PET Scan at MD Anderson tomorrow would continue to show no cancer

Thank you all for your prayers! We should be meeting with Dr. S tomorrow morning sometime around 9.
