Sorry I haven't updated in some time. No news is GREAT news in this case.
Elias continues to be seizure free and we are so very thankful.
I want to just say this. Brian and I are followers of Christ. We believe in healing and miracles. We believe the Spirit is alive and active even today. God DOES heal. He doesn't always choose to but He certainly can. Elias has been prayed for by many, including our church Elders.
The Bible says in James 5:14
"Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord."
We believe that the words spoken here are just as true today as they were during that time. We are praying fervently that God heal our son. We give God the glory for the months Elias has been seizure free, whether he is healed long term or not.
Let me be very clear. There is NO medical explanation for what has happened to Elias. It certainly isn't as mysterious as a person full of cancer suddenly being completely cancer free. It is easy for the Doctors to just say, "sometimes epileptics can be seizure free for some time after a medication increase." But friends, Elias didn't just stop having seizures with medication...he just stopped having them. This is a miracle. There is NO other way to look at it. Nothing else in our lives changed. God moved in our son's life in a major way. Thank you, Jesus.
For now, Elias will remain on the full dose of the two medications he is still taking. We need to wean him off safely. These are major drugs, one even being a controlled substance. Quieting cold turkey isn't an option, healed or not.
Elias will have another EEG on April 16th. If he is having seizure activity that we just are not seeing, the EEG will make it obvious. We are asking everyone to pray that this EEG come back perfectly normal. That there would be ZERO seizure activity in our little man's brain.
Will you pray with us?
