Dear Friends,
After a few weeks of calm, Rebecca started having seizures last Wednesday. This concerned us because she is on strong medicine and should not be seizing or having spasms.So we decided to go back to Dallas to have her medicine changed. The seizures became worse in frequency and duration, so the doctors decided to run an EEG.
Rebecca's EEG was not good. In fact, the doctor told us that the test results could not be worse. She is having what seems to be constant seizures and spasms. The neurological team has changed her medicine and she is now on several different kinds of seizure medicines and we will have an MRI tomorrow and another EEG near weeks end. A feeding tube has been placed in her nose, so that she can continue to get nourishment. The medicine has sedated her and she cannot suckle a bottle.
Susan has remained very strong through all of this, she is a true woman of God, and God has kept us close to Him during the last few weeks. We can feel all the prayers for our peace of mind and wisdom in making decisions.
Please continue to pray that Rebecca will not suffer and the wonderful doctors at Children's Medical Center will continue to meet her physical and our spiritual needs. Also, I ask that you specifically pray for Susan's mom and dad, Al and Marcia Lockhart, has they have really been a blessing in caring for, loving and nurturing Rebecca on a daily basis. Pray a special covering of the Holy Spirit over them.
Also, when we left Monday morning, we thought this would be a quick trip to Dallas for a medicine change, we are not prepared for the news that we received. So please pray for Katherine and Elizabeth as they go through this tough time with their sisters illness. Pray that this experience will draw them closer to God.
Once again, thanks to all of you for your prayers and kind words.
Ryan E. Gatti
