Baptist tomorrow

Cameron is having another MRI at 8am tomorrow to be followed by her 2nd round of IvIG therapy. IvIG is intravenous immunoglobulin and is taking from a combination of many donors of human plasma. This will be the 1st in what will be monthly IvIG treatments--the infusion lasts about 6 hours or so. We are hoping that this can put a stop to her daytime seizures and will allow her to go back to kindergarten next week. Our doctors at Johns Hopkins want to run through this option of therapy before we look furthur into surgery. Also the MRI we are having will show them if any changes have occured since the last one which would be a sign that the Rasmussen's Syndrome has progressed. Please continue to keep her in your prayers to give her relief from the seizures or to move us to a point that surgery is a more viable option. At this point, surgery is the only "cure" for Rasmussen's and IvIG or any other non-surgical therapy possibly just gives her temorary relief. However anything is possible and with God's help miracles do occur. While we were at Johns Hopkins Shelly met Holly Paauwe and her daughter Avery. Avery just had a hemispherectomy (the surgery Cameron might have later) and has had a rough time since the operation. Here is her blog http://thepaauwereport.blogspot.com If you read this you will see how great Holly's faith is in spite of what is going on now. We pray that we can be as strong as her if we ever have to cross that path. Please keep Avery and her family in your prayers so hopefully things will improve for them quickly. We greatly appreciate all the support that you have given us and we feel very blessed to have Cameron & Caroline regardless of what we have to deal with to provide them with the best quality of life in the future. Nobody ever said parenting was easy and man were they not joking :-) We love you all--Casey, Shelly, Cameron & Caroline
