Blessings

Hi friends!

Wanted to update you on a few things. First of all, Mike went about 10 days seizure free after being out of the hospital. The dr had only increased his medication by a small amount and the Durkees thought he might soon have seizures again as his levels were very low in the hospital (46 and the range is 40 - 120). The last two nights Mike has had sleeping seizures - he's been seizing every couple hours and they are lasting longer than normal. BLESSING: they are sleeping seizures and he is not falling AND he has an appt with a headache neurologist tomorrow afternoon who can adjust his meds. All recent tests came back fine, with the exception of a high protein level in Mike's cerebral spinal fluid. It was lower than it was several months ago, and the doctors don't seem concerned about it. BLESSING: all tests for fatal diseases came back negative. Mike has an appointment with a headache neurologist tomorrow, please pray that that seizure meds can be adjusted and he offers suggestions for the debilitating headaches. Between these and the seizures at night, Mike is very tired. Becka has been tired this week, too. She has bronchitis and has laid low all weekend. She has been off work for 2 days. BLESSING: Becka was able to get into the doctor and start on antibiotics the same day. The Durkees have been on the receiving end of much kindness this week. They have received financial gifts, meals and rides to appointments and to pick up medication. They feel blessed by so many! We'll update the blog after the neuro appointment.
