Next Step

Michael is having an EEG run for tonight, so his head is in wraps. He has had a couple of suspected siezures the last couple of days and they want to monitor that.
We have talked with the Doctor and tomorrow he is set to get a couple of things accomplished. First thing in the morning they are going to give him a peg feeding tube in his stomach and remove the line they have going to the stomach thru the nose. One irritant down. They are also going to install a line in his upper chest to administer the plasma transfer, which is the next treatment.

The last couple of days have been tough in that this is a complicated case and we need to be very pragmatic about his treatments. The treatments have risks and we need to be as sure as possible about his condition before we begin some treatments. Because Michael may have had these two conditions one after the other we are in unchartered territory. We will take this day by day.

Michael is OK. He rests a lot and doesn't have a lot to say right now.

  1. I echo Becky's comments from the other day.... my husband and I have also been following your blog. We have also never met your family but would like you to know that we are praying fervently for all of you as you have touched us with this journey.

    Throughout this I keep coming back to a saying that I keep a copy of.... "The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you".

    Please know that you are not alone and that there are a lot of people, unbeknownst to you, who are praying.....
