Improving

Thank you so much for your prayers for us! The past month has been the hardest time of our lives; yet God has faithfully sustained our family and given strength for each new day. We continually stand in amazement at the Lord’s provision in treatment for Jessica. Her therapist is a strong believer who has great insight into how the brain works. We have learned much over this past week about the damage trauma can do to the brain. Briefly stated, the left brain controls logic and reasoning and the right controls emotions. After a traumatic experience the center can “short circuit” so that emotions and logic don’t match up. The brain has to be retrained. This first stage of treatment Jessica is going through is called EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). We have seen an incredible improvement just in the short amount of time we have been here. For example, Jessica has gone from passing out over thirty times a day to averaging about five times a day. Please continue to pray for Jessica, and for wisdom for us as we care for her. Thank you for your faithful prayers, financial gifts, and many notes of encouragement. The Lord has used you to be a blessing to our family!
