Sunday night David had such a bad aura he thought it was going to turn into a seizure. It lasted a while and finally went away. It was heartbreaking. But he hasn't had any more since.
Two weeks ago we saw Dr Maleeva and he had her turn down the dose of his VNS as it felt a little irritating when it went on. So I blame the lower dose for this aura.
I could have blamed sleep deprivation but I don't. David enrolled at Glendale Community College and the only available section of the math class he wanted begins at 7:00 am. The rest of us have been in shock for the last couple weeks as he has gotten himself up, dressed and out the door at 6:15 every weekday morning. He walks down the hill one mile and catches the bus, then rides the bus back home after class and calls me for a ride back up the hill. He looks so happy to be "moving" -- independent, mobile, and back to doing math again. He is still working through the Foundations of American Thought class and making dinner for the family most nights.
A small Christian engineering/technical college called LeTourneau, in east Texas, accepted him and offered a generous scholarship. (We're not sure about sending him so far away, till we see some more stability re seizures.) He is also hoping to be accepted at Biola, and is applying for some scholarships. These things all have pushed him a lot but he is learning some new things and becoming more organized.
Speaking of moving, we found a buyer for our house and if all goes well we hope to find something in Pasadena or Altadena that is cheaper so we can free up some $ for college tuition.
Thanks for checking in. I'll try to post more often.
