Giving Thanks

Thanksgiving has come and gone, thank goodness. I love the holiday but the lead up to it is always daunting and all consuming. As I was scrubbing toilets Thanksgiving morning I was thinking of what I was thankful for. Home, Family, Friends... all the typical ones.. you might ask, what about health?

Thats a touchy subject since last summer. Carmens health is always foremost on my heart. She is doing much better, her blood work shows that we arent at the level they want her at yet, but she has stopped having the "leak through" seizures and her all around mental issues are getting better. She still struggles with her areas, but as we are recognizing them its easier to work with her to improve them piece by piece.

Since the middle of April she has not gone more than two weeks without a siezure of some kind. It dawned on me that its been a while since I had had to write her her siezure journal, so I pulled it out and checked. Carmens last seizure was in the middle of OCTOBER!!! Its been over 6 weeks! what a blessing. I was so excited to see that. God has his reasons and his timing, praise Him for all his blessings.
