A Great First Week

A week and a half of preparation plus a week of classes is now over, and in the 15 days in Texas, I have had no seizures!
I stopped trying the Atkins diet shortly after making the last post, as the fatigue was getting worse and it looked like any care I would need to take to maintain both the diet and energy would be more than I could manage.

I'm starting to think I see a picture in the past events.
Many years ago, I lost faith in medications to completely prevent seizures, after trying several combinations and still having regular seizures. My hopes turned to brain surgery.
Two years ago, my hope in brain surgery was challenged, but not shattered.
This summer, my hope in surgery was further challenged, while my faith in God's omnipotence was raised as we prayed that God might miraculously heal me.
My faith in God's power was questioned, but not damaged, when I had seizures after prayer for healing.
Now I am doing very well on a new arrangement of meds, and I am thinking that that might be God's ultimate plan of healing - through the first means that I lost faith in.

Praise the Lord, who works in mighty and mysterious ways!

"For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord."

Hello David,

Best wishes to you in the new school year. We pray that you have a great year at school and that God heals you.

My son still has seizures at a rate of about one a week. It is a major disappointment for us and our son Steve after trying many medications and surgery.
Fortunately 99% of Stephens seizures happen while he is sleeping.

May I ask what new medications you are now on.

May God bless you and answer all your prayers.

Walter and LiNa Martin

Hi Lina,
David is on Keppra and Trileptal, and starting a little Ativan every other day.
Are you on Facebook? Or send me an email.
Love
