One More, and Some Updates

I had a seizure this morning at about 9 AM. After having a seizure last night, there was good reason to get to bed early, and I had less difficulty than usual getting to sleep. However, I woke up around 4:15 AM, and after about 2 and a half hours of trying to get back to sleep I gave up. I did some Bible reading, ten chapters of Luke, then read some of the Gospel Primer, and then got into conversations with my brothers, who had finally woke up. In the middle of a conversation which was being interrupted by Sam's giggles, an aura started, I got up and swiped a magnet, got back in bed, and woke up around half an hour later.

After about one seizure every two weeks during my first semester, and now three seizures after trying some adjustments of my medicines during the break, Mom, Dad, and I are thinking that I may have to forget about Spring '10 at LeTourneau University.

It will be sad to leave after the first semester, but I have faith that I will be able to return for Fall '10 and on. With around 8 months at home (with some community college classes), I have hope of finding another way to have my brain scanned and surgically therapized (I'm not sure if that's a word, but it is intuitive).

Thank you all for your prayers.

I was worried that my GPA was too low to keep a scholarship, but I found the grades online and was elated to find it higher than I had expected. Praise the Lord for inspiring grading on curves!

Two seizures

Tonight David had a pretty bad seizure. Last Tuesday night he had a really bad one. A few days before that, Dr. Maleeva had given him some samples of an extended release form of one of his meds so that he would just take it once a day rather than twice. Then if he forgot his morning dose it would only be one med, not both. When he had a seizure last Tuesday we immediately went back to the old form of the medicine hoping that he would be stable again. But tonight he had another seizure.

Please pray. We are learning that we can choose not to worry, and to try to trust God and rest in his plans instead. We think God will work out everything for David for the best. Imagining how he has gotten us through before this, and how he will get us through in the future, is better than imagining the bad stuff.

Thank you so much.

Two Finals Down, Three to go

Yesterday I did the final for Concepts of Lifetime Fitness (referred to by students as "Fatness"), and I am confident that I did well.

This morning, I took the final for General Chemistry Lab 1, and I am expecting about 82% on that test.

I also took the English Proficiency Test today, which decides whether I need to take a review class. I am expecting somewhere between 90 and 100% on that, but I do not know what score is needed to pass.

There are several things that must be done by midnight Friday, and some other things that must be done earlier.

Next week is the official finals week, with the finals for Intro to Psychology and English Comp 1 on Monday and the final for Calculus 3 on Tuesday.

Please pray that the end of the semester will go as well as the rest of it did.

God has blessed me abundantly so far, and I hope to finish this semester strong.

Thank you for your prayers, and please continue.
