Mandy Tune up Round 2

Hi Guys,

This is going to be a long post, because a lot has happened. Its been a crazy time, with a lot of going back and forth.

Mandy is doing pretty well for the most part. She had been transferred back to the nursing facility. She was ok for a few days then she started vomiting. It happened while the doctor was checking on her. So she was sent to the emergency room, where she was admitted back into the hospital. They ran a bunch of tests, and couldn’t really find anything wrong. She has not vomited once since she was admitted, so they will probably release her in a couple of days. They are trying a new formula. Hopefully she will tolerate it well, and start gaining weight again. That has been our biggest concern. She has had so much trouble gaining weight. The doctors are on top of the situation. Please pray that God will give them wisdom and discernment.

Our training is proceeding well. We tried 4 hours a day 4 days a week but it was not sufficient time to train. So we have modified the schedule to 10 hours a day, 3 days a week with a day in between to rest. I think this will work better. Of course it will depend on doctor’s appointments and other scheduling issues.

Teresa completed her testing successfully after 4 days in the hospital. It has been determined that her seizures are non-epileptic. That means they are being caused by something other than her epilepsy. So her doctor has weaned her off her medication, and the seizures seem to be reducing as well. She is having some issues with migraine headaches. It probably has something to do with the medication change. But God is in control and we know he will bring us through this as well. Please pray that God will reveal what is causing these non-epileptic events” and headaches

We sense some major changes coming. We know at some point Mandy will be coming home, and we are preparing for that. We really need God’s direction and wisdom during this time. There are a lot of decisions to be made and not all of them are easy ones.

We will to continue to seek out wisdom and understanding. The best way that I found to find her (Wisdom) as it says in Proverbs is to hit my knees. One thing I know is that my God has never let me down. I will rest in the shelter of the most high.

Thank you for all the prayers and support. It is amazing to me how someone will comment on the blog at exactly the right time and it will exactly what we need. Trust me when I say when you have no one else to rely on, trust our creator. He will never let you down.

Love in Christ
Michael and Teresa Blaes
