Eleven to go

Not that we are counting the days, or anything.
David felt a seizure coming on today but it didn't develop. Yeaaa!
He hates Ativan.
He doesn't feel like he is sleeping very well.
We increased the dose of one of his other meds starting this morning so maybe that will help him sleep better and have fewer auras/seizures.
Please pray for the poor boy.
Thank you!

Thirteen days to go

Now I have accepted that surgery won't happen today. But we prayed for Deborah who had the surgery appointment this morning.
We have to hang in there till Monday 5/19.
David had a seizure today. He has nearly had one a few times over the weekend so the storm was brewing. I gave him some Ativan but he doesn't feel too good with it so if this keeps up we may need to find something else so he can be more comfortable.

It Is Earlier...

The news was that my appointment was moved from the 20th to the 19th.
One less day!
Mom also told me that she told R.C. that "we are ready", in case any earlier opportunity opens. :)

Might Be Tomorrow...

Miss R. C. from the doctor's office just called and asked to talk to Mom, and asked for her cell phone number when she heard that she's not here. Before Mom left, she asked me to call her if R. C. called with news that I'll have tomorrow's appointment. I asked if I could leave a message, but she wanted to talk to Mom - making it uncertain at the moment whether it's the hoped-for news, but also giving evidence that it's something important that the parents need to know promptly.
I'll call Mom in a few minutes and then follow up on this post.

Steady On

It looks like we will have to hang in there for two more weeks. David did really well this week but this weekend he has had almost-seizures three times. He would feel like one was coming and go sit somewhere but they never developed. We have Ativan and gave him a little bit. It seems to really clamp down on the seizure activity.

But also--Tuesday hasn't come and gone yet. I am still hoping and will listen for the phone tomorrow just in case something happens so that he can go this Tuesday after all.

Surprise Change of Plans

We got a call this morning from the surgeon's office, with news that I will have my original appointment - May 20. It is a surprise, and somewhat of a disappointment after the excited anticipation, but it appears to be God's plan, so so be it.
It will mean absence from graduation, but it also will mean that I can directly attend my classes and have more time to set up things to be present with Webcam.

Thank you all for your prayers, and please continue!
God bless,
David Nemati

Beautiful Sleep!

David's sleep has been getting better and better. Today he woke up looking really good. Ahhhhh.
