Update on Hannah

We visited Hannah's doctor here in Oklahoma and things are not going as well as we had hoped. Her seizures are returning both in frequency and intensity. Her current dosage of anti-seizure medication is quite large and, hence, our options for treatment are becoming increasingly limited. The doctor said we could try her out on another drug (the odds of this helping her at about 5%), we could implant a device into her chest and brain called a VNS (those odds are at 5%-15%), we could do another surgery (don't even want to think about that one), or we can alter her diet (45%-65%). So next month she has to go in to get evaluated for being put on a special medical diet that, according to some doctors at Johns Hopkins in Baltimore, may help reduce her incident of seizures.

We continue to appreciate your prayers as we walk this road with Hannah. God bless and minister to you all!

I'll keep you posted.
