and they all came a tumblin down . . .

Twas the morning of Sunday and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a . . . . .WAIT A MINUTE! There were more than mice stirring. I awoke to dogs barking, Mike yelling and large banging noises 6:30 Sunday morning. To those of you who have never woken to such a sound, you'd be amazed by what scenarios run through your mind. Mike has two ongoing symptoms when he is actively seizing (which he is nightly): hand tremors and loss of balance. Mike unfortunately lost his balance Sunday morning and fell down a flight of stairs leading to the basement. We are thankful that no broken bones or concussions were a result. We took it easy the remainder of the day. Mike was sore yesterday but is even more sore today. Needless to say, Advil was added to the medicine regiment. We're thankful he didn't break anything but talk about adding insult to injury! He was already sore from seizing nightly. Prayers for a swift pain relief are appreciated.

Mike saw his primary care last week. A new medication was prescribed for headaches, bloodwork to check levels was drawn, an MRI of Mike's adrenal glands was ordered, a lyme test was run and neuron testing will be scheduled (to see how the brain is firing). We'll keep you updated on Mike's healing, blood test results and how the new headache medicine is working. sigh . . . . .is it vacation yet?
