During good times, and especially during bad times, the Divine Mercy holds a special place in my heart ever since I saw the image of the risen Christ with those words, JESUS I TRUST IN YOU.Nine year old Ds#1 woke up this morning and had a seizure. He was not ill nor had a recent head injury. His exam and blood work at the emergency department were normal. Simply, he had a seizure and we don't know why.
He will have an EEG, probably two, to see if that shows any signs of epilepsy. Even if that is normal, he still has a 1 in 4 chance of having another seizure in the next 3 years. Yet if it is normal he will not need to see a neurologist or be treated with anticonvulsants. Here is a good article I found explaining exactly what to expect from what happened today.
Though I have seen many seizures working in the emergency department, it simply does not compare to it happening to your own child. Please pray along with us for his good health.

I have prayed for him!
Me again,
Thanks for the tip about the Lewis and Clark book. I checked it out from the library Monday. That entire series is wonderful, isn't it?
I just realized that I did not set this blog to email me comments--I have fixed that.
Thank you so much for your prayers.
I love the blogosphere--I originally found that series when In The Sparrow's Nest used the Impressionists For Kids book.
