My little cousin and his update.

Hello my friends I recieved this email from my aunt the other day it on how my little cousin's progress is coming along. Christina I know you will be able to relate with him. Dear Family & Friend's: I told you in my last email that I would keep you all posted as to what Gil & I find out regarding Micah's testing. And in all honesty, Yesterday was a very draining day emotionally & physically.Our appt. was 1:45, and we went and anxiety was running high. On top of that we had both little one's with us (w/o their naps). UGH!!! Doctor finally entered exam room at 3:00. By then we were all pretty irritable and frustrated. Micah's EEG showed abnormal discharges on the left side of his brain. At this time the Dr. felt he was having partial seizures and felt that Gil & I needed to make a few decisions on medication or further testing. We left the office with information on 5 medications, also told to consider an Ambulatory EEG. The original EEG that was done on March 6th was only about a 30 min. EEG. The Ambulatory EEG is done for 24 hours, in which Micah would go in to have wires attached and head bandaged and then sent home with battery pack to record brain activity. Then go back the next day and have it removed. By doing the Ambulatory EEG it gives the Specialist more information to go on and to know whether they happen more daytime or sleeping, and how frequent they happen.We were originally told that it could take another 6- 8 weeks to get appt. for Ambulatory EEG. I called this morning and they told me May 24 & 25th. I then asked if they had anything sooner, and nurse said yeah "We have two cancellations for April. DUH! So of course, I advised I wanted one of those. His next EEG will be done on April 26 & 27, which will be the 24 hr. Ambulatory EEG. Once that is completed, Ped. Neurologist will be better able to advise on best choice of medication without having us guess from the 5 we were told about. As always We are so thankful for all your prayers and thoughts. Along with our faith, your kindness, support & love is what sees us through. Thank you.Gil, Donda and Family So if you would like to pray for them they would really apreciate it. Thanks so much guys.

I'm taking advantage of the wonderful weather and also trying to get in shape so I'm able to stay up for those long nights and early mornings it takes a lot out of ya. Well, I should get started on my research paper. I hope to talk to all of you soon. Take Care and God Bless.
