Just so you know, Kristi and I have been reluctant to make any changes in Alex’s anti-seizure treatment since the increased seizure activity seemed directly related to the day or two that she was without medicine. So we’ve struggled through the seizures while keeping her on the full regiment of anti-seizure medications as well as being very careful to use the VNS implant and activation device as we’ve been instructed.

All that to say that IT MUST BE WORKING!

Yesterday (Monday), Alex did have a number of seizures, but they didn’t start until after 2pm (whereas they had been starting as early as 10am recently). So we had hopes that Alex’s seizure activity was starting to settle down again.

And then today, Alex went all day with NO SEIZURES!
WOW!
Prise the Lord!
… and thank YOU so much for praying!

Your prayers are needed. Due to an extra-complicated renewal process this year, it looks like Alex will be without health insurance coverage for at least the month of May.

Please pray that Alex would continue to do well with her VNS implant so we can decrease the dosage of her anti-seizure medication.  Costs that are usually covered by Alex’s health insurance include $300+ per month for medication, and $500 per doctor visit every two weeks.

Thank you for your prayers for wisdom and direction as we tighten the budget and plan for the most cost-effective treatment for Alex.
