Blessings Work!

I hear at least once a day from a doctor or a nurse "I have never seen a child recover from this kind of surgery so fast!"  Byron is only ten days from a major surgery, probably one of the largest surgeries a child can have, and he is doing so great.  A doctor today told me that children are usually quite out of it for a week to ten days cognitively.  They don't speak, can't remember things, and the personality is flat.  Today Byron passed all his physical and cognitive tests with flying colors.  Except for his greasy hair from the Neosporin, you might not know that anything had just happened.  And if this really is the cure for his seizures (we will know in a  few months when they repeat the EEG and MRI) then all has been a resounding success.

Anecdotally I can tell the seizures are better/gone.  He has no word retrieval issues, he is not stuttering, he is not vocalizing at random times and his energy seems 90% calmer.  If this is all we get from the surgery - I'll take it and it was worth it.
