It’s Been A Week

First of all, THANK YOU for everyone who thought and prayed for us during Hannah’s stay in the hospital. She did so well and took everything in stride. She was literally “tied” to a bed by her hair and never once tried to run or get down or escape. It’s like she just knew what to do. 

So, we arrived around noon Monday, they hooked her up and the monitoring began. By mid-day Tuesday the doctors thought they knew the issue but wanted to observe her another night. There was never a seizure to capture, but there was lots of activity. What was determined, is Hannah has eses seizures. Her brain does not seem to settle or slow down at night which could be the cause of her sleep issues, focus issues, speech issues and so on. Again, left unchecked and unmedicated, could cause neuro-regression. Whew, yes that’s a lot. 

So she was discharged Wednesday having meds and a plan to repeat the EEG in a couple of months. 

Of course, being the guy he is, Keith has been researching since we heard the diagnosis and reaching out to others. If the medicine does indeed help the eses it could be huge for Hannah. 

Right now it’s a lot of wait and see and a lot of H adjusting to medication. Just in time for school to start, haha. 

We know that this was not accidentally found and the Lord has big plans for Hannah. We thank God that this was discovered at age 5. 

Please pray the medicine can be adjusted properly so that Hannah can handle it and it not only prevents seizures but controls the eses. 

Right now we are taking it day by day. 



The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 
Lamentations 3:22-23
