Where We Go From Here...

Ali's MRI returned normal. Thank you God for answered prayer. She will remain on the meds. If she has anymore they may admit her and conduct a 24-48hr EEG and try to catch one. Other than that we go and just pray she don't have anymore and that if she does they can adjust the medication and get things straightened out. Thank you all for your prayers and concern for Ali and our family. We appreciate you so much. Continue to pray for protection for Ali from seizures and thank the Lord for his faithfulness.

NORMAL!!!!!!

MRI Went Great

The MRI went well yesterday. Ali didn't flinch getting the IV due to some numbing cream that worked really well for her. She went out really easily with the "Micheal Jackson" meds and came out immediately upon the removal of the IV. That really amazed me. It only took about 30 min and she didn't move a muscle so it was easy. Now 5 hours to hear the results. Any suggestion on how I can make that go super fast?

MRI Tomorrow

We have to be at the hospital at 7am for the MRI tomorrow. Please pray for an easy sedation with no complications, a successful picture and most of all clear results. We meet with the pediatric neurologist on Friday at 3:15pm for the results and to discuss the medication that she has been placed on.

Health Update - Allison

Curt here. Wish we had better news to report, but Ali had two seizure-type-events last evening and had to go to the hospital for awhile. They gave her a scrpit for meds and she started those last night. If you saw her this AM, you wouldn't even know anything had happened, as she feels and acts fine, but at a 'flip of the switch' she can have a seizure. MRI is next thu. with a follow-up meeting with ped. neurologist on Fri. Hopefully we'll learn more at these meetings and keep moving this situation forward. Hopefully the meds hold off any more events at least until we can meet next Fri. with doc. Thanks for your kind words of encouragement and prayers. curt and family.

More Prayers & More Unanswered Questions

Ali had another "seizure" on Thursday. I was right beside her when it happened. I caught her before she fell off the stool she was standing on and did everything I was supposed to. It only lasted about 45 sec and was "mild". If she was going to have one it was good timing cause we had an appointment with the neurologist the next day anyway. Basically they don't know why it is happening and what is causing it. An MRI is going to take place (I don't know when yet cause we couldn't schedule on Friday cause it was to late in the day) to rule out any brain abnormalities. Please pray that this comes back clean. I can deal with the seizures, they are mild, they don't hurt her etc. What I am really scared of now is something in her little brain that isn't right. Please pray for a normal MRI, pray for wisdom for the doctors to make a good diagnosis for her, pray for us as we (especially me) are scared out of our minds. I know in my mind that God has it all figured out for Ali and he will take care of all of us, but I am having trouble feeling it in my heart.
