Bethany Update

Bethany is doing well. She came home on Wednesday evening after 3 days of testing and 30 hours of sleep deprivation. She had to endure many others tests as well, but she is recovering nicely.

She is now off her epilepsy medication and we're really praying that she never has to go back on it again. Her EEG is still abnormal, but isn't indicating seizures at this time. There is more going on with the left side of her brain than the right, but again, no seizures are evident.

The doctor was unable to determine the cause of the "episodes" she'd been having as nothing happened while we were in the hospital. Isn't that how it always works? We will keep a close eye on Bethany until we're convinced nothing is going to happen (which for me may take months).

At this time, we are cautiously optimistic about her future - without epilepsy. We have been this route before with her going off her meds and doing well for years, but I'm trying to be hopeful that it's really going to "stick" this time. :)

Thank you for your prayers. God is truly taking care of us.
