Lord God, you know what you are doing! We don’t know what you are up to but we trust in you! God, please help us to be strong. Give us peace. Help us to be good parents and show the boys how to lean on you and trust in you during these hard times with their baby brother. They are worried as are we at times and we pray that we remember to turn those worries into prayers as your Word says. Help us to go through this together and help our faith to grow stronger and us to grow closer to you through this all. Hold our hands and guide us through it all, Lord… Amen
Update on our sweet baby boy:
Gideon had another seizure this afternoon 3:40 and I believe he had another one that I didn’t see earlier as well. Went back to the ER tonight. Dr Folossi (pediatrician at the hospital who saw Gideon last week) saw him and watched him go through ANOTHER seizure there at the hospital. We gave him a dose of Keppra there at the hospital. The Dr. talked with us for a long time and we felt at peace about going home. Dr. Folossi has kids and said even if he wasn’t a dr. he would go home with his child. Lots of germs in the ER and on the pediatric floor that he really would prefer not exposing Gideon to since he’s so little. We decided to go on home. Gideon cried the whole way home. So sad. Got home he gave my mom a little smile then glossed over and started yet ANOTHER seizure. We laid him on his side and watched him go through it. Hardest thing EVER!!!! He was soooooo tired after this one. We all just watched him sleep on the couch and he woke at 8:00 just in time for his next dose of 1 ml of keppra. Gave that to him, nursed him and now he’s down to sleep in his bed. Its so hard to see him go through this, and then come out of it so confused and so tired.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding and in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight is what we read to the boys tonight as we rocked Gideon. Gregory had a lot of “what if questions” all the same “what if questions” I have and I have to TRUST in God and not try to RACK my brain trying to figure it all out. God has Him in His hands. I keep telling myself that!! He does!
Please keep our sweet baby in your prayers! Pray that he gets a good night sleep. Pray also for our other boys as they are worried too. Also Luke is over the stomach flu, pray that no one else gets it. That would be incredibly hard at this time.
Dr. Folossi is going to get a hold of the neurologist and I’m suppose to call at 10:30 tomorrow and see if I got a sooner appt. (than March 27th). They will probably want to do an MRI.
Spring
I'm praying for your whole family!
