It is a great Christmas. We have so MUCH to be thankful for.
To recap the year:
David had two brain surgeries this summer. (Thank God for brain surgeons, neurologists, HMOs, and paying jobs!) (Dates: late May and end of July.)
The second surgery didn't go well. (Thank God that the surgeon was on top of things.) (8/1)
David had what amounts to a small stroke but he recovered quickly and fully.
Even though he couldn't get the part of the surgery that would have healed his epilepsy, he may be healed anyway!!!
His VNS implant (an epilepsy therapy, like a pacemaker) was not turned on properly after being turned off for surgery so he went 7 weeks on almost no dosing before we discovered the problem. Thank God for that--that is how we know he really may be healed! (9/19)
God faithfully, relentlessly, unremittingly brings good out of evil. Having my boy be unresponsive in the ICU for a day or two was (and is) heartbreaking. But the path since has been full of blessings, little and big. We are learning to look for them and to love them.
