We went to see Grace's neurologist today to go over her EEG results from this past Wednesday. We're praising the Lord that the EEG came back completely normal! Dr. Schub seemed surprised at how well Grace is developing (he said she's right on track) and how well she has done overall through this ordeal. He commented, "I need to make Grace my poster child for the ACTH treatment." Actually, Grace is a "poster child" for the healing power of Jesus. We're grateful for doctors and medicine that God sometimes chooses to use in the healing process, but ultimately, Grace's prognosis was grim by all human standards. We are so grateful for God's healing power in our daughter's life and for how He has poured His love and mercy out on our little family. We don't deserve one ounce of it, but that's what makes our God so amazing - He sees us in our need, has compassion on us, and gives us what we don't deserve.
From here, we're weaning her off of the rest of her seizure medication. This is the medication that can cause insomnia when you're coming off of it, so please pray for us about that. We'll take Grace back to the neurologist in January for a follow up appointment. In a few weeks, we'll be getting Grace back into society as her immune system is strengthening, but we will still have to be careful all winter about having her in large crowds or around sick people.
Thank you for all of your prayers and support. No matter what is going on in your life, remember that there is NOTHING impossible with God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
