Morning News

A beautiful snowy morning greets us today.  I love to see the snow falling so softly out the window, especially when I know I don't have to go out in it!  The neurologist visited this morning and I have to say his attitude was much more pleasant.  He explained that although they had increased the two seizure meds on Friday because of the bit of abnormal activity on the EEG, they had not given a loading dose because Levi was not having physical seizures.  He explained that without a loading dose, the level of med increases over time.  With a loading dose, the med level increases in about half an hour.  So Levi had his loading dose this morning.  We have not seen any more signs of seizure.

Dr. Simmons has really been active in researching options to find out what is going on with Levi's leg. His leg started to swell a bit yesterday and was a bit larger today.  They called in the PICC nurses to change the dressing and move the access area from his shin to his thigh.  I have to say, his leg looks so much better and he seems so much more comfortable!  Hopefully this will fix the problem!  For the first time I feel that we may have found the solution!  He is kicking his right leg and moving both of his arms more.  He still doesn't move his left leg much, but yesterday I was playing with his foot and he is beginning to move it.  Every day we see improvement in some area, which we find encouraging.  We believe that the Lord has healed him, we just have to walk this out and work with physical therapy, etc, to do our part in helping him recover completely.
