I want everyone to understand that we were told there was nothing else that could be done for Jadon’s seizures. Luckily we had a neurologist in Boston that wouldn’t give up on him and of course we wouldn’t either. I will always be grateful for him as well as the doctors here in Detroit. They have given my baby another chance. I can’t explain how awesome all the doctors have been here. God surely lead us to the right people 🙂

The Best News Yet!!!

They took my last drainage tube out yesterday. I was so glad to get it out. My head feels much better now. I had a great day the rest of the day. I did get sick last night but it was due to the pain medicine. I do not like the taste of it and it makes me sick. I had my CT scan this morning. There is no fluid build up so I do not need a shunt. We will have to watch for fluid build up in the next few weeks but I should be ok. I lost my IV today and they are not putting another one in. I’m super excited about this. I have 0 cords attached to me 🙂 I’m going to stay at the hospital tonight in order to make sure I can handle all meds, foods, and liquids without IV. If I do well then we will be discharged tomorrow. We will then stay at the Ronald McDonald House that night. If I do ok then we will stay at a hotel by the airport Wednesday night and fly home Thursday. The doctors say it is fine for me to fly. They have had several patients fly home after surgery so we should be fine. I will then be admitted to NOLA Childrens hospital for inpatient therapy for another week or two depending on how I do. Right now I’m pretty weak so it will probably be more like two. Please pray that I can handle all the meds by mouth and pray that I will not get sick. I’m so ready to get out of here. Thanks for praying. The doctors say I’m doing amazing. I know that God is the reason I’m doing so well. All the praise and glory go to Him. Tomorrow makes a week of 0 seizures. I used to have 1400. It’s totally amazing that they can take out half your brain and you can do so well. It will definitely make you believe in miracles!!! I’ve changed my song to How Great Is Our God. He has definitely answered our prayers. Please continue to pray for me and don’t forget to thank God for what He has and will continue to do for me. Love, Jadon

Happy New Year!

We are headed to Memphis today.  Larkin has her MRI and lumbar punch tomorrow afternoon.  She will also be participating in a follow up to the Working Memory study she helped with in the Fall.  She will be taking a second functional MRI (awake and playing computer games to see her brain at work) on Wednesday afternoon before we head home Wednesday evening.  Please keep Larkin in your prayers.  We will keep you informed.

Thanks,

Scott and Kelly

Begin praying for Debbie Luce, a former student of mine, as she prepared for another back surgery tomorrow.  Pray for her mother who will stay with Alex while Debbie is hospitalized.  Continue to give Debbie the peace of mind to face another back surgery expecting better, more permanent results.
Pray for Billy Carl Strickland as he has a procedure tomorrow that wil determine when he can begin chemo and radiation.
Pray for Mrs. Shirley Frazier as she tries another doctor this week.  She has been “homebound” for about six months now.
Begin your extra prayers for Mrs. Velta Morris who will have a biopsy tomorrow.  Pray for her family as they wait for test results.  Give them both peace and strength.
