Blessings during Epilepsy

In a few days, we'll head down to Delhi and spend a crazy day in the heat, with crabby kids, passing the hours before our big trip to Korea! I booked an appointment with Will's doctor so that we can talk with him about what the plan is with his medication. Getting that lined up reminded me that this month we will celebrate 6 months of no seizures. It seems like yesterday that we had to wrestle with the helpless feeling of daily having our 2 year-old crash to the ground, body writhing out of all human control... and yet, I look back to that time, and what stands out are the blessings.
-Overwhelming care and support from our colleagues/friends here, and friends and family back 'home'.
-Excellent doctors in Delhi who were able to correctly diagnose the problem and offer us solutions right away.
-Since we are in India, we could afford the tests, doctor visits, travel and hotel costs.
-Will's last seizure was on the train on our way to Goa for our winter holiday: we didn't have to deal with seizures while away from home for a month.
-Will takes his medicine quite well, and the doctor recently adjusted the dose so that it's much easier for us too give to him.
-Will is back to 'normal' now - he runs around and plays hard like other kids his age, and we dont' worry about him- what a blessing.
-He'll probably grow out of his epilepsy in a few years - wow.
Blessings : gifts from God. A Bible verse comes to my mind about how God will never give us more than we can handle, and I look back and see how God has cared for our family through everything this past year. Another verse is close to my heart- that God always carries us in His arms. In July it will be a year since Will started having seizures, and we have had 6 months without seizures now- God is so good to us. He has helped us in every way and given us a time of rest from those hard days of seizures.
