I am hoping Sarah will update with a little more detail about what Ari has been doing this week since I am in Sebring. But I will do a little update. Ari's last chamber was Friday since the doctor is moving his office and has to move all that equipment. We are hoping he will have it up and running in a week or two, but noone is sure. She did 2 treatments every day last week, and handled them well. There have been small changes, but nothing significant enough to post yet. We decided to try acupuncture on Ari for the sake of her foot if nothing else. Her right foot was very twisted and concerned us. Sarah can tell more than I, but they decided not to use needles on her because of her age and size. Instead they are doing something with chinese medicine, and Sarah feels it is helping. She says she has been more relaxed and sleeping even better. We requested another eeg for Ari this week, and she had that yesterday. No results yet. We are curious about some spasms and fits she is having where she gets really stiff and arches her back. We don't know if she may have started a new kind of seizure, and if so what new meds she will need to treat it. As I said, I am hoping Sarah will do an update with more details because with me being here this week all my info is second hand. I hope everyone enjoyed the pic's from our trip to the Jax Zoo. The kids had a really good time, except for maybe Ari, who sweated the whole time. But even Ari did well, and that was the first time she had sat in her chair for so long. We have been staying up there at the McDonald house during the week and coming back on Friday night to Visit home a little, then returning Sunday afternoon for another round. They have been really good to us up there. With no chambers scheduled for this week, Sarah thought she could handle the schedule herself, so I stayed here to get some things straightened out. It's hard to update when you're not sure about any improvements, but thank you for your prayers and love. Ari is definitely trying to get better, but it is such a slow process right now. We are finally starting to understand, really understand, how this has affected our lives, and are considering options that may be necessary for a long slow road to recovery. Pray for us that we have wisdom and guidance in our decisions, and as always for a speedy recovery. Love to all
