Bye, bye seizures!
Some time ago, I wrote that I would not mention John Ross' epilepsy on this blog ever again. It turns out that won't be a problem. After a week of testing and a weekend hospital stay, John Ross has been diagnosed with hyperinsulinemia (his body produces too much insulin). It is severe enough that it was causing his seizures. We still don't know why, but we're thankful to know what we're treating for once. Most importantly we know how to prevent his blood sugar level from getting too low, which will stop seizure activity. With a change in diet and a new medicine, we believe we will get his hypoglycemia under control. Thank you to everyone who continues to pray for our brave boy.
