Love and Support

These past few days, I have been on an emotional rollercoaster. I have talked with friends and family about it, and they reassured me that I am going to be okay, and that God doesn’t give us anything that we can’t handle. The Bible verse Jeremiah 29:11 has given me comfort and perspective as I go through this.

“For I know the plans I have for you ,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.”

I have had an outpour of support from family and friends. Last night, my sister threw me a surprise French themed party; it really showed me how much she loves me, and the support I have from family and friends. Today, I received the most amazing voicemail from my Grandma that made me teary and emotional. She said everything that I needed to hear. It is amazing how God puts incredible people in your life; she’s been there for me through thick and thin. I love my Granny! 

Wednesday morning, I will be admitted to the hospital for three days for a Video EEG test (one of the three big testing’s that I will undergo to evaluate me before surgery). An EEG test is where they record the electrical activity in the brain by placing multiple electrodes along the scalp. EEG’s are also used for other purposes besides epilepsy, but in my case, the purpose of this test is to locate which Angioma's my seizures are coming from. The Epileptologist is thinking that my seizures are coming from the silver dollar-sized Angioma on the right side of my brain.

Three days in a bed seems nice and relaxing, but you get bored real fast! Here is what I have packed to entertain myself:

-Magazines

-Movies

-TV Seasons (Glee, Modern Family, New Girl…the essentials! ;))

-Books

-Nail Care (If you know me, I have pristine nail care!)

-Videogames

-Family and Friends Visiting

Let’s hope this list keeps me entertained!
