Tickets for Texas

About seven weeks till David leaves home and goes to Texas for school, if all goes well in the meantime. I bought plane tickets for August 19.

His status right now is that he has still had no seizures since last July 31. Eleven months! ("Normal" before that had been several days of seizures every month or so. That was with high doses of three medicines and the vagus nerve stimulator implant.) Things are a little different than several months ago since he asked for a lower setting of the VNS. In the fall and winter he missed several doses of his pills each week and felt no effects. Since the VNS dose was turned down, he now gets auras if he misses even one dose of pills. Having auras usually means he is getting vulnerable to having seizures.

Please pray that he will be stable so that he can go to this college that seems so ideal for him. And that he will be healed. We see Dr Maleeva on Friday July 31. It would be nice if we could get his VNS turned up higher again, but he in the past he has gotten insomnia from it, which triggered seizures, so it's not an easy question.

We are thinking of having a One Year Celebration on Saturday August 1 so please check back soon.

Thanks for the support and prayers. God has been Good!!
