VNS is AWESOME!!!

Hello everyone! We have prayed and prayed for God to send a miracle to help Jayden gain better seizure control. On August 15, 2006 God answered our prayers. This small device called a Vagus Nerve Stimulator has proven so far to be our lil miracle. Jayden had a seizure this past Tuesday that was 4 minutes long and developed a small cough which is probably why he also had a seizure this past Thursday. Hang on to your seats.... this last seizure was only 2 MINUTES LONG!!!!!! Yup, that's a record for Jayden. No meds!!!! Just his handy-dandy magnet (my new best friend) From what I have read and what people have told me, Jayden is having an exception reaction to the VNS. Most people don't see any kind of results for up to 6 months or a even a year. I saw results as soon as they turned the VNS on. Since then he has been more alert and making small gains all the time. He's a very very happy boy! A big boy too, as of last Tuesday he weighs 29lbs 9oz and 36 inches.
