Much needed update

Hi. I know....it's been awhile. Every time I've thought about updating, it seems like way too big a chore so I have avoided it. I figure I better get my fingers typing and some photo's up before Christmas or I will be too overwhelmed to do anything on here.

I guess I'll do a quick brain update since that is the most boring and requires no photo's. This little device has been on for a couple of weeks and they started it with the electric current being at the lowest setting, .25. I was on that for 1 1/2 weeks and it didn't really help. The magnet that I swipe across the device when I feel a seizure coming on was set at .5 and that did help stop a few seizures. The device has been increased twice so this week I am adjusting to .75, and although it is not very comfortable when it turns on every 5 min., I have had NO seizures for 1 1/2 weeks! I am so happy about that. Today is the first day that I have felt seizure-ish at all. I am hoping for continued success.

The biggest difference has been my energy level. I have not had to sleep as much which is HUGE. I think Mike is really the only person in the world that knows what a toll this has taken on me and I can't explain how I feel about this. I consider it to be a miracle- really. I almost broke into tears at my doctors office on Monday with joy and gratitude. I try to put up a front that all is well and that I am just pushing through but I haven't been. I have have been one seizure away from quitting everything- I mean EVERYTHING. I couldn't keep going, and I CAN'T keep going like I was. I try not to think about "if this doesn't work" because it HAS to work. There is nothing else out there and I am so hopeful that this is the answer to my prayers and the priesthood blessings I have been given. What am I doing pouring out my emotions like this to a screen? I am overwhelmed by hope right now.....that's all I can say to explain how I feel. Hope and faith.
