Isaac update 7:00 8/2

An email from my Mother:

Praying friends

We were able to get through to Isaac's room again this evening. The challenge of connecting via phone involves redialing many times (for 20 to 30 minutes) until you get a "breakthrough". There are not many lines gong into the hospital so they limit the calls to 3 minutes. It was totally wonderful to hear his voice although he was quite medicated.

Kelly, one of 3 team members who have taken turns being with Isaac around the clock told us that the EEG went well. The minor abnormalities that they saw were insignificant and could have been the result of movement during the test. They have removed Isaac's IV so he is receiving medication by mouth to manage the seizures. Apparently they have slowed down in frequency and intensity today. PTL

I have been in touch with a doctor here who is helping us formulate the next steps of evaluation when Isaac returns. She has been most helpful in ascertaining what we need to find out from medical personell in Paraguay. She will call Isaac's doctor in the morning to obtain copies of the test results, medications, symptoms, etc.....oh, and did I say that she speaks Spanish flluently?!?! Isn't God amazing?

Pray Dennis though the night, please. Ask the Lord to let him sleep on the plane. His flight was an hour late leaving Miami, but he should be in Buenos Aires by 9 in the morning, then arriving in Asuncion by late afternoon. And pray for sweet sleep for all the team who are working, praying and growing so much!

"All the ways of the Lord are lovingkindness and truth."
