Delivered to Texas

Yesterday I left David in Longview, Texas. He is (sort of) settled into a dorm room on campus. We spent five days together going to all the orientation info sessions and visiting the school nurse, security, getting a local doctor, signing him up for classes--not too many and not too few, hopefully. Three trips to Walmart, one trip to Target, Office Depot, and Supercuts. The bank called this morning and said to stop.

Last month he had a second, minor seizure. He didn't lose consciousness which hasn't happened since when the epilepsy first appeared. But it was pretty depressing. We sorted things out and decided to try extra sleeping medicine in hopes that it would counteract any sleep disturbances from the VNS dose increases. We doubled his dose of Rozerem and he seems fine now.

David seems to be back to being stable. Moving away from home, with all the orientation running around craziness in 100 degree heat with stifling humidity, it seems like he would be at risk for at least one seizure, but he has been fine. He did have a day with several auras but that's it.

I kept asking if he didn't want to come back with me to keep me company on the way home, but he very sweetly said that though he would miss us, he was happy staying. He is very excited about his opportunity!!

Thank you for the prayers and support that have gotten him this far!
