Some good news – YAY!

April 23, 2007

My EEG came back normal :)

This means that, even with a tumor in my brain, my brain waves are normal- not normal for someone with a tumor, but normal despite the tumor!

Tonight we are having my sons birthday party (his 7th birthday is on Thursday) at my parents house (we’ve been spending alot of time there a of late… which is important right now for all of us).

In case I do not update before we leave on Wednesday morning, I wanted to let you know that I will be taking my laptop, and either I or Mark will be updating while we are gone. I am going to spend tomorrow with my mom, getting ready for the trip, and then tomorrow night we are going to do something as a family before we leave.

Please continue to keep my family in your prayers, I know you will…..

I found your blog and feel now like I know you. Our neighbor had brain surgery 6 wks ago after waiting 3 years. The Dr said there was one part they wouldn’t be able to get as it was too attached. After surgery he said they got it all. That part just fell loose. When told of all the prayers going on the Dr. said “I could feel it in there.” Our neighbor flew back home 9 days after surgery and is doing great. Prayer Works!! We serve an awesome God.

So wonderful for a good report and amazing that your brain is reacting as if the tumor is not even there… Your brain has great faith doesn’t it and God’s fingerprints are all over this situation. I will continue to lift you guys up in prayer and look forward to hearing more of God’s grace in your lives!

Heather – words can’t express how faithful God is! I know how scary an EEG and EKG are – I have Epilepsy that was diagnosed at 22. Strange getting word that your brain hasn’t been normal your WHOLE dang life! ha! Anyway, my husband and I put you on our prayer list a church so know you have some prayer warriors in McKinney, Texas praying for you and your family….Remember – HE is bigger than any fear Satan wants you to focus on!
Your sister in faith,
Meg

Happy Birthday, Elijah! Seven is a very cool age! Heather, I check on you several times each day. Praise the Lord for the super EEG!!! I’m SO GLAD that you are going to Mayo. I went with my parents about 18 yrs. ago for a serious health problem my dad was having. We were totally impressed with every person and dept. involved in his care. Thankfully, he recovered from the problem. I’m praying for your healing everyday. May the Lord guide you and your family through this difficult time. Love to all — Terri

Heather,
I don’t even think that I have normal brain waves. Praise the Lord, girl. Praise the Lord.
