No News Yet

The Smiling Picture I Promised :)



We had Ruby's EEG this morning and again she did great; she slept through most of the test which makes the whole thing a lot easier. I called our neurologist at 4 this afternoon and he hadn't been able to look at the EEG yet, so we will hopefully hear something tomorrow. I am not very hopeful that the EEG will look good though because we have seen an increase in seizure activity in the last couple of days. The doctor did increase one more of her meds yesterday because of this, but so far it hasn't helped. I am really ready to take the next step because none of these meds seem to be working. There is a diet we can try that some kids have had success on or there are the steroid shots that can have nasty side effects, but also seem to have a 60% chance or so of getting rid of the seizures. We will wait and see what the doc says tomorrow. Thanks for contining to pray.

What a beautiful little girl you have! Ruby is so blessed to have such amazing parents! It sounds like a thankless job (all the appointments and frustration), but know that God will give you strength and bless your work. Many prayers are being said on your family's behalf.
