A Weekend to Remember

As I write this post, Richard and I have just gotten home from our first marriage conference since before Abigail was born. A friend gifted us with admission to the weekend to remember conference in Cincinnati, and we had a wonderful time. At the end, we were even able to renew our wedding vows, after 7 wonderful years of marriage.

We had an appointment last Monday with Dr. Levin. Some highlights: Abigail is losing some weight, which is even better than staying put! We removed her J-tube, so now it is strictly a G-tube. This is a more typical way of feeding, and if it comes out I can replace it instead of going to the hospital. And with how active she is getting with her hands, and her two busy brothers, I will not be shocked when one day it gets pulled out! What else...We continue to slowly increase the dose of Keppra, her seizure medication. We are finally seeing some progress. She is down to about3-4 observed seizures a day. We have more work to do, but we are getting there. And we have our first visit with the neurologist on March 26th, so please pray for that date.

Greetings to all from Michigan! I just want to say hello and let you know that I continue to pray and also keep checking the postings that you have made. Thank you, it must be difficult to manage all that you do, so each post is precious to those of us out here keeping in touch with God for each of you. I pray tonight for the blood of Jesus to be your complete covering for comfort and protection and strength. I pray you will quickly call out to God for help and I see the dispersment of his ministering angels immediately as you call..God loves you, God is aware of your every need and the needs of each family member..Our Redeemer Lives as Job said and with that Resurrection Power we have victory over death. Praise His Holy Name as we intercede for you in the mighty and powerful name of Jesus! By His Stripes we are healed. God Bless Abigail, God we ask that it be your will to restore every detail of her being and we continue in thanksgiving for all you have done and give you all the praise and glory forever and ever for all that you continue to do and will do in each unfolding day.
