Results of Zeke's test



On Tuesday, June 10th Nick and Amanda had to take Zeke in to see his neurologists. Their first phone call telling them to bring him in on Tuesday was very stressful. They didn't say anything except to bring him in. That's it so like the humans we are we all became very worried about what they might of found on his MRI. We all know that GOD has full control of every situation we face but we also know that through trials like this it should bring us closer to him. For me, it certainly does. Prayer is the ultimate.
Well, later on that day Nick and I were discussing the possibility of me staying down there another week. I couldn't leave on the day that they were taking him back to the neurologist especially when they called and told them to bring him in. (Thinking it is very serious, at this point) while talking things out the office called again telling us that Zeke's MRI was normal. What a relief!!! You know, you always start thinking bad things (because they won't tell ya over the phone) They found sinusitis was all but they didn't have the results of the EEG he had on the Monday before. Well, knowing that the MRI was normal, I decided to come home to Michigan.
The appointment turned out telling them the results of the EEG. It turns out that our little Zeke is having little seizures. The only reason they have been having him checked out is because for the last year he complains of his right eye hurting. They have had his eye checked--it is fine---they took him to an allergist and had him tested which showed allergies to dust mites (I think everyone has that at some point)
well, nothing has really improved his pain so the neurologist was next.
Now Zeke is taking seizure medication. It is one that they increase after a week for the next 3-4 weeks reaching the full amount they want him at.
MY PRAYER REQUEST FOR ZEKE IS: Pray that this medication works for him and gets rid of the pain, that there won't be any side affects and that he will take the medicine without fighting against it. Apparently, it taste horrible which would make it easier to give if they could improve this when it involves children.
ZEKE--MEME AND PAPA LOVE YOU AND WE PRAY FOR YOU (as well as all our grand children) everyday.
