IU

Dustin wasn't able to go to school today. Between the pharmacy, doctor and insurance the IV ativan hasn't arrived at the pharmacy yet and he needs to have this at school if he goes back. The ativan can be administered to him immediately if he has a seizure to hopefully stop it or decrease the intensity. So, mom has been on the phone all day with the neuro, pharmacy and inurance. They aslo took a trip to Walmart and Mom noticed that Dustin's arm was twitching. She said something to him about the commercial that was on the radio and had to repeat what she said to him because he didn't say anything. Finally, he commented back and she repeated what she said. He said he must have zoned out because he didn't even know the radio was on. When they got home Mom called the neurologist and he agreed that this was seizure activity and he is going to send him to the IU med center in Indianapolis. While at first this was what we didn't want it seems to be an answer to prayer now. He still has no memory before last Tuesday. This means he doesn't remember any of his family, his friends, how to play football, his teachers...he doesn't remember anything. It's like we're living with another person. We miss Dustin. He's here though and for the most part he is healthy. He didn't like the news of going to IU too much. I'm sure he's scared. Please, pray for peace for him and strength. Pray that he turns toward God right now and not away. I can't even imagine what he is going through. He must be so confused about his life. He doesn't remember what he loves or who he loves. Pray for the doctors that will be seeing him. They need wisdom and guidance. Pray that we continue as his family and friends to put our trust in God and remain faithful that he is in control of everythig.
Here is an article I found about memory loss and seizures: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article4635471.ece
I was also able to find this Dr's email and sent him an email so maybe you could also pray that he'll answer that email!
Oh, and on a lighter note if Dustin was going to lose his memory I wish I could implant a false one that he loves cleaning the bathroom, but so far no luck.
