Last week was a learning experience for my family since my wife returned to work and my son went back to school, while all I had to do was stay with my wife's grandparents. The first few days were challenging trying to get them to work and school on time. It is now the beginning of the second week and we are finding a good routine. The bitter cold weather also created some challenges for us, but tonight should be the last of the overnight freezes and tomorrow begins a major warming trend. As for my health I am having fewer of the focal seizures, but the steroids are still preventing more than 3 to 4 hours of sleep a day. Below is a list of my continuing prayer requests.
- That the 1p and 19q markers are not present in my tumor - double deleted is what the doctor calls it
- That the medication will continue to control my seizures. Currently I am having 1 to 2 focal seizures a day. These consist of tingling and numbness on the right side of my face and down my right arm usually accompanied by slurry speech.
- That I could get more that four hours of sleep a day.
- That my son would be able to focus on school and continue to do well academically. He has semester exams on Thursday and Friday morning from 8 - noon.
- That my wife won't get tired of taxiing us around since I can't drive, and that she will be able to perform her job well with all this new responsibility she has at home.
I have a praise related to request for my short-term disability insurance. It has been approved!
