When we first met with the Neurologist she was concerned with the likelihood of permanent damage due to the intensity and duration of the seizures. They performed the MRI today and it showed no brain damage! Thank you God and thank you all for your prayers! I still feel something is not totally right with her thinking and behavior, but she has so many medicines that they may be affecting her. For the most part, it looks like she is doing great. They moved her out of ICU today. She may be home in the next 1-2 days. Thanks for all your support!

I had encephalitis 7 years ago. It wasn't as severe, but it laid me out pretty hard. It was a few weeks before I could get back to any sort of normal routine and a few months before I felt I was back to my old self.

Great news, thanks God!
You should not be worried: after such a shock she cannot act and think 100% right.
She needs a bit of time to recover totally.
I will continue to pray for her.

(((sara))) i saw you sneak in here :) praise God for His answers to prayer, and kevin, i am glad you posted that -- sometimes i think it is good to hear from one who has *been there, done that* to assure us it will all be okay...
(thanks for the updates, hector!)

Oh, I'm so glad for this good report. Sara - may you continue to regain your strength and health.

Praising God with you...what wonderful news.
Posted by: Essy | December 28, 2005 at 07:50 AM
Such wonderful news! We'll keep praying for her complete and full recovery.

Hector, just so happy for you all!
I am sure your daughter is just whoosy after such an experience and the meds too. Perhaps she too is reflecting a bit! You don't need to respond to this...I just wanted to let you know that we are all enjoying God's goodness here!
Posted by: Suzanne McConnell | December 28, 2005 at 09:10 AM
I am so grateful and thankful for this wonderful news! Praise God!
And Sara, it was wonderful to hear from you!

Thanks everyone for your comments and well wishes. Thanks Kevin for sharing your experience. Just made it back from the hospital. She may be there until Thursday. Her sense of balance is off, but she can walk. She needs more psych tests tomorrow, but all in all she is OK. Her memory is still a wiork in progress. Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.

Hi Marie, can you post a video clip in "Faith of the Fathers" of you dancing a jig?
Posted by: Hector | December 29, 2005 at 10:35 AM
I'm absolutely delighted that Sara has improved so considerably in such a short space of time!
It really is a joy to me to witness the effects of prayer in this lifetime, so often we do not see the fruits of prayer so evidently.
Praying for your continued recovery, Sara.
God Bless you!
