Birthday Celebration in Memphis!!!

Well, we head back to Memphis this Sunday (March 9th)right after church. Bettina's birthday is March 11th, so once again she will celebrate (if you call it that) at St. Jude's. I guess the best present she will get is the clear scans and the news from the drs. "NED" (No Evidence of Disease!) Brenna is excited about going back - excited because she so desperately wants the seizures to stop. She is convinced that they will "fix" her while we are there! Boy, I hope that have some good news to give her, she really needs a bit or two of good news. We continue to see a pattern with most of her seizures. Most seem to be occuring while at school. The meds she is on slow her brain down quite a bit. She is not as quick at comprehending and learning compared to her "normal" self. Will we ever see this 'normal' self again? With this brings tension and stress on her which (I beleive) brings on her seizures. After Memphis we will look at having a school teacher come and teach her while at home to see if this helps. We just want to take it all away from her so that her troubles are over. But we don't have that power, therefore we don't have that choice! We will just continue to hold on...
