On or Off...

Krissy asked me if I had updated the blog lately . . . .and of course, I had not. She wanted me to update everyone on where we are at with the research. And Krissy has begun to have seizures again . . . I guess the after surgery "honeymoon" is over. Of course we have to remember to keep the magnet with us...oops! Every time she has a seizure we are suppose to run the magnet over her head so the device will mark the EEG.

Well, we are in Virginia tonight. I guess we will be coming here every other week for awhile. Tomorrow is the day that the official "research" begins...the doctor will either turn the device on or off and we will not know which. After four months of the "blind" research her device will be turned on.

In the last couple of days Kristina has had some problems with her vision being a little blurry. However, she is suppose to wear her reading glasses and doesn't...but it has been somewhat worse. She is going to talk to the doctor about it tomorrow and she is going to the eye doctor next week to have her eyes checked. I think she is just a little concerned since it has been different since the surgery. Please pray that this is just ordinary, getting older, eye issues as opposed to a side effect of the surgery.

Other than her eyes, Krissy has been doing really well since the surgery. We are still adjusting to the process we have to go through with downloading into the computer and remembering to transmit the information from the computer through the phone lines. But we will get better as time goes on.

We look at our time traveling to Virginia as an adventure these days. It gives us alot of time to talk about everything, and we sing to all our CD's. We took a different route today to keep the trip from becoming monotonous. And I didn't even get lost!

As always, we do covet your prayers! We feel truly blessed for having so many wonderful friends and family!

Wait patiently for the Lord. Be brave and courageous. Yes, wait patiently for the Lord. Psalm 27:14
