Miracle Morgan: Showing more emotion

Showing more emotion

Today in therapy, she started crying. This was totally appropriate as she got scared when she was on the ball. We have all noticed that she is showing more appropriate emotion. She used to never cry unless she was really hurt. The other night, I put her to bed as usual. A little later, I heard her making sounds but didnt go in there. She began to cry. I went in there and she looked at me and was making a d sound. She reached for my hand. I got her out of bed and gave her a drink. She was happy then and I put her back to bed. She then went to sleep. We are so thankful for the little improvements, that really are so big. Her strength and stamina is improving so much. She is tolerating going to school and therapy very well, even though I know it is a long day for her. Praise God for healing her throughout from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet. Every organ, tissue, cell, and muscle is fully restored. We claim that healing for her.

So beautiful! I am about to cry myself! How ironic to be happy that she was crying, but that is so, so good. I also cry when I think about how heartbreaking these last few years must have been for you, with no emotion, no real recognition, no joy or smiles from your precious daughter. I am so grateful that you can have that gift now! And it took this experience for you to make me realize what a gift that is. Thank you and may God continue to bless you all.

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
