Bad day

Today was a bad day:  Being epileptic, I am always afraid of having a seizure.  Unfortunately today I had one.  I wanted to give everyone an update, and thank everyone that helped me and my family today. 

I had the seizure at Church in the middle of a Sunday School class.  By God’s grace there were many people who helped me, Amy and the kids.  Thanks to everyone who helped at Christ-Covenant Church, my Mom and Dad, and Amy’s sister Jill for helping.  Jill came over to the house in the afternoon, watched the kids, and took them trick-or-treating. 

If you think of it, please take some time to pray for me and my family.  With epilepsy, driving is often an issue.  I will likely not be able to drive for six months after having a seizure.  With the kids being in school, and my wife being due in February, this will be a real challenge.  Thanks,

David

Please Pray For Amy

For those who said they were praying for Amy, and little more detail is in order.  Amy has a mild form of narcolepsy.  Officially she is diagnosed as “Idiopathic Sleepiness”, however it amounts to the same thing.  Ever since she was pregnant, she has not been able to take stimulants to help her stay awake.  As a result, she is much more tired than usual, and has particular trouble taking the kids places.  If you know Amy you know she is very active-very type “A” personality, so as you can imagine this is very frustrating to her.  Please pray the Lord gives her strength, alertness and sustains her during the day.  Thanks,
David
