contains the G-Word/Scary incident here!

[Guest guest]

That is frightening and upsetting Carolyn. Let us pray.

Just a thought: has Lucas had any recent vaccinations?

Also, as a point of interest: One of my stepdaughters, at 13, decided not to bring her zarontin (for petit mal) up to the farm for the summer. She told me about 2 days into the visit. I wasn't close with God then, and yet did hear Guidance frequently. In this instance I felt quite free to tell her that she would be just fine, and we could trust in that.

She had no seizures. When the kids went home, the others told their mother who freaked out and took her for an eeg.

She called me so disappointed that it still showed epilepsy; however, since she'd been seizure-free, the doctor (happily) did not push the drug.

Again, just the right words came from Guidance to tell her that the eeg would clear up perfectly, and that she was done with the seizures. And so it was. She is Marty's age, and so has been free of them for 30 years.

Wiring or not, prayer can override ANY condition.

I know your experience with Marty has been so tough. Yet Lucas is young and free of knowledge of this stuff, so prayer with him can be very fruitful.

Maybe you could read him Jesus' healing of the boy that fell into the fire and I think into the water too. It's right after the Transfiguration. I think it is chapter 17 in and 9 in Mark (but I'm just winging it!)

The little ones understand God's Love and are so receptive to healing.

Love,

Francine

Hello everybody,

Just want to report a scary incident that happened yesterday. For those of you who don't know me I am the mother of a 43 year old autistic son, he also has many other problems, non verbal, seizures all his life, but much better now, is on a food tube, wears depends, can still walk alone with assistance....

Well yesterday my daughter called me to tell me her son Lucas had did something very weird in the bathtub. He was standing there facing the back of the tub which is quite slanted and all of a sudden looked scared and slipped down with his face against the tub and went under the water and he just laid there! She was in the room, thank God, and couldn't figure out why he was just laying there under the water, so finally moved and pulled him out and he was still very scared and began to choke and cry!

Her first worry was that perhaps he had inhaled water into his lungs, from a news report we saw the other day of a boy who had a near drowning, then later went home and died because he had water in his lungs. So she wanted to take him to ER to be checked, and I told her I would be right there. It was busy on Sat. morning, and we were there for five hours.

I knew the doctor would want to take a blood test to check for anything wrong, and also would want a CT scan of his brain. I was right about that, is why it took so long. Lucas hated the CT scan machine, simply hated it, so the doctor had to come back and hold his head while my daughter held his chest and arms. He only had to stay still for 10 seconds, and needed the test to rule out any possible cause for a seizure, which came out o.k. His blood also was o.k.

Later when the doctor talked to us he said he may have epilepsy, it was just the way some people's brains were "wired." My son Marty has had them since age 3 and I think this is the first time a doctor has said it was in the wiring.

So we are quite upset, but trying to maintain and believe he just got scared because he was slipping and panicked and that was why he froze for a few seconds and couldn't move. Lucas tends to have some quirky behaviors, like he does not like things that move he is on, he panics, like when he was on the CT scan machine. He doesn't like to swing and lots of other things like that, used to be scared to go in the swimming pool, didn't like the noise, but since then he has gotten over it. Also he does not like to go in closed rooms, was really upset having to go into the exam room, but settled down with us both there with him.

He was so good, once they got the CT scan test done, he came out to the hallway to see me, and he said, "I did it! I did it!" He is such a sweet brave little guy. Also this was the first time he has ever had his arm stuck with a needle to get blood, he didn't like that at all.

Well that is about it, my daughter is to watch him like a hawk and not let him be in the bathtub alone at all, and we will go from there. If he has any more "spells" like this we will have to go the next step with him.

It takes me back to when my son Marty started having seizures, just one day out of the blue he went stiff. He was sitting at the table and stuck his face in his breakfast. I was frozen just like my daughter said she was, and then leaped over to catch him before he fell to the floor. He never did jerk or anything then, the grand mal came later.

I pray this little guy does not have epilepsy. It is the pits!

Well have to run, took the grandkids to church this morning, then left them off at the wave pool for a birthday party. Not Lucas, took him home to his mom, but the other two, they are a boy 7, and girl 11. Thing is, it is the first time I have left the boy alone at the pool. There were hundreds of other kids there, but I have always been with him to look after him. Started taking the kids swimming when they were about 2 years old and now they are both real good swimmers.

Talk to you all, hope all is well with you and your families today,

Carolyn in Springfield, Oregon, the sun finally came out after two weeks of very cold weather, and rain every day!~
