The nurses here are the best. They remember David from his visit last year and it's like picking up where he left off. Last night Liz said "God and adrenaline--that's how we make it here. Mostly God." I said that's how I manage at home too.
Our care group met in David's room last night. I get overwhelmed with how blessed we are. David is getting this fabulous medical care and treatment just so he can have a normal life, and we have wonderful friends who find their way through the hospital on Friday night to encourage us and pray. And the nurses didn't complain about a rather large number of visitors!
David was kind of down after everyone left because he felt so tired and dull and not able to pray. I urged him to think of himself as the paralyzed man in the bible account whose friends did all the work of carrying him yet he got all the blessings and healing. I think he needs a lot of encouragement at this point.

David, it's so wonderful to have the family of God rally around you and be lifting you up when you are too weak to do it yourself. I'm sure it's humbling but at the same time, this is a season where God is showing you again, even though you already know, how much we need the body of Christ. I'm looking forward to seeing you in person soon (we'll be down on 6/2) and will continue to pray for you here for good seizures, coming from the right spot and a quick release! Love ~ Diane
PS Don't be naughty (I love that word) and scratch your head! :-)
Dear David:
Although I am far away from at this time which I feel I should have been with you, but by God blessing there are so many people around you. Love, Nasser

Saturday May 24: David is eager to have seizures. He has had some auras (warning feelings) that usually mean that seizures will happen pretty soon. The doctor wants at least three seizures that are well recorded and look similar on the EEG record. Then he can get the probes removed and go home.
