Good News!!! Amanda doing great!!!!

So it has been almost 3 months since Amanda's VNS surgery and she is doing wonderfully! Usually the best results are seen 6 months or more after surgery but we are thrilled to report that Amanda is currently seizure free! Her last seizure was about 15 days ago and she has been doing great ever since. We are getting wonderful reports from her therapists, she is behaving super (she is sweet, attentive, loving and giving hugs and kisses and in a good mood almost all the time), she is making good progress toward walking, etc. All I can say is GOD IS GOOD! I know Amanda has had many wonderful prayer warriors sending up powerful prayers and they are working. We feel so tremendously blessed for her to be doing so well. Thank you so much to all of the wonderful people who remember her in their prayers. We are so appreciative!!! Hope your 2012 is going well!
Love,
Susan

P.S. Amanda gets her "wish" from Make-A-Wish the weekend of March 4th. Her wish was to kick her sister upstairs and make Katie's old room into a sensory room with a swing, ball pit, communication devices, musical instruments, etc. She is very excited. I will take lots of pictures when the room is complete.

P.P.S. She and ELLIE are still doing great together. The Paws4people 5K race and 1 mile fun walk will be Sunday April 1. We would love to see you there. If you or your business would like to help sponsor the race, please email me at sdivance@yahoo.com. You could have your name on a really cool t-shirt while supporting a wonderful organization.
