We live just 2 hours east of Omaha....our daughter was diagnosed with Rasmussens one year ago and we traveled to UCLA Medical Center to have the right half of her brain removed (hemispherectomy). She is in Kindergarten, doing well and seizure free. I would love to visit with you.

I am so encouraged. I would say continue blogging/Facebooking because there are so many of us investing our prayers into you guys. As your friends and family we really want to see the updates, and how can your heart heal if you can't come to the people that care about you with honesty?

I had a very dear Christian friend remind me during one of my trials, that it was okay to cry out to God in anger and frustration. He is the great I AM. He can handle your outburst. I also read somewhere to think of him as the loving Father that He is.

In your post you said Xander fought his way to get the 12 feet (which is very far for him right now) to get to the bathroom - and he did it. Then he was able to go potty... Realize how HUGE that is considering all his little body has just been through. I know how bleak things seem, I really do. I am so sorry for you all.
