Miracle Morgan: Melting my heart

Melting my heart

Today, Morgan and Will played chase again. They played for quite a while. She would turn back and look to make sure he was coming, then smile and laugh and run from him. Billy and I just sat there and smiled. I could have watched them all day. Then Will walked away and sat down. Morgan came over to wear he was sitting and bent over, grabbed his arm, and tried to pull him up to play with her. I can't describe the feeling, but I felt like my heart was melting. I felt so deeply touched. It is so amazing to see a child so interactive and expressive who just four months ago was so trapped in her own world. I have been thanking The Lord again today.

We are SO happy that Morgan continues to improve . . . and playing with her brother again is certainly an improvement. God will provide more proof of His work in your lovely daughter. And the day will come when you WILL hear her tell you and your husband "I love you". God will give that to you. Always remember that "He who began a good work in 'Morgan' will be faithful to complete it.". That may not be the context in which that verse is set in Scripture, but it's true of all that God does. HE IS FAITHFUL!! Your daughter will be whole again.

Our best to all of you,
Nancy, Henry, and Joseph Coram

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
