Miracle Morgan: No witnessed seizures in two weeks!

No witnessed seizures in two weeks!

So this post will be a Praise, Praise, Praise to The Lord! We want to give God the glory for answering our prayers. We have not witnessed any seizures for over two weeks. Before the surgery, she was having 7-8 seizures every night and seizures just about every day in her nap. The seizures were mostly in her sleep but she also would have stare seizures when awake. So we all are part of this miracle! We all have covered our little Miracle Morgan in prayer and God has answered! Even though we are going through a difficult time right now with her hyperactivity, we want to focus on the miracles God has already provided. Even though we have had a rough last couple of weeks, being in the hospital twice, I am thankful we weren't there this time for her seizures. Another miracle is her amazing balance! No more falling! The PT at the school said on Friday how amazed she was at Morgans balance and strength in her legs. Just want to also say thanks to all our friends and family for your patience during this time. We still love you all but just haven't been able to spend the fun times with you as we are going through all this. Thanks for understanding, our social lives just aren't exciting right now. God Bless you all!

Continuing to pray for all of you and appreciate your positive witness through trying circumstances. Blessings, Donna Jones

Morgan's Story

Our daughter Morgan turned five in December. She was born healthy and developed normally, at first. She began having seizures at the age of two. Since then, her development has halted, even regressed. She now cannot talk. She walks, but is uncoordinated which causes her to fall multiple times a day. She rarely smiles or laughs, since she doesn't feel good.
She is an intelligent little girl that just seems to be trapped in her body right now. Doctors said that the seizures and the medicine were likely holding her back from progressing. She has been on seven to eight different seizure medicines and continues to have multiple seizures daily and nightly mostly during her sleep. The medicines were also affecting her negatively. Some of them made her hyper, some made her so lethargic she couldn't function, and some made her kind of crazy. We tried multiple treatments to try and help her such as diet, supplements, and therapy. We would see fluctuating results. All the while, she just wasn't developing or learning and continued to have daily frequent seizures.
She has undergone multiple testing and seen multiple doctors. Last year, after three days of being in the hospital with video monitoring of her seizures, she was just put on some more medication. At that time, we were told she was not a candidate for surgery as her seizures were coming from different parts of the brain.
In the last couple of months, Morgan's seizures had worsened so much, that we were having to give her the emergency treatments and even called EMS. It was no quality of life for her. We had to do something. We had been so against surgery before, but finally my husband and I had decided we were ok with it and were going to ask the doctors if it was an option now. Well, we didn't even have to ask them because when we got to the appointment, the doctors had looked over her MRI again. After studying her case with a panel of specialists, they had decided that she was now a candidate for surgery. They said they thought they could remove or disconnect most of the areas that were causing the problems.
We are praying and believing that the doctors will be able to get ALL of these problem causing areas. We are believing that ALL seizures will be gone and never return, and medication will no longer be needed. We pray for a speedy recovery with no initial temporary regression( which doctors said was possible). We also pray for total restoration and the ability for her brain to catch up and to learn and develop.

With God ALL things are possible

Thank you all so much for your prayers.
Jeananne, Billy, Will and Morgan Johnson
