please keep Gage in your thoughts.....

Today I come to you with a request for prayer for Gage.  He has had a tough time over the last several days with an increase in the number and severity of his seizures.  Today Beth called me and told me that she had spoken to Duke Neurology MD and they had increased his Phenobarbital (which the MD really did not want to do on Dec 17) and is allowing Beth to give 2 valium Diastats if Gage does not respond to the first.  Gage used to be knocked out asleep after one but these last few seizures Beth said Valium is not slowing the seizure down lasting up to 20--minutes.  If Gage continues to have hard seizures in 5 days he will be readmitted to Duke and testing etc will occur.  He is presenting with the tremors-shakes that are new neurologically. These seizures are hard on Gage's little body, and Beth with everyone at work etc... They are also hard on the other kids and ML and everyone who has to witness him going thru this, but GOD IS IN CONTROL. I have to repeat this, and as I have tears stream down my face and wonder .....I know that the Lord is with him, that he knows our hearts are heavy and Gage is his child. The Lord promised me he knows what I need and Gage needs before I ask him and even now as I wonder what to ask for he knows what I need and is preparing a way for me to get it.   So please pray for Gage and his family and Beth, and the physicians. Love, Aunt Kim
