We are so thankful that the MRI is normal! Sadie's brain is healthy! So this confirms that her seizures are due to electrical activity and no abnormalities! Her Dr is hopeful that finding the right medicine would enable the electrical activity to decrease and cause her development to improve...so we will continue to see if this new medicine is effective. We are on week one of the full dosage, so another week and we should know something. She does seem to be having less seizures, so we are again cautiously hopeful. The last time with met with the dr he said that once you have 2 to 3 failed medicines the chances of finding one to work are slim. This makes Sadie's 7th medicine, though 2 were discontinued due to negative side effects so they don't count.
Honestly, it's hard to get too excited about the medicine working because we have been let down so many times. So I proceed with cautious hope as for the medicine, rejoicing over the normal MRI results, and continual trust that the Lord is good, always present and showers us with His great love.
We were reminded of this truth this morning as we pulled out of the driveway. We were greeted by the most breathtaking sight in the sky...how gracious of God to give us such a gift to gently remind us of Who He is.

Wow! What an awesome picture The Lord painted for you this morning! I am so glad the MRI was normal. I will be praying that Sadie gets healing from the "firestorm".
Thank you for the update, Susie. We'll be hoping with you!
