HI Family,
Our niece Emily Ratliff (Mike's sister Patti's daughter) is 21 years old and has epilepsy. She has been on a journey through this illness to try and stop or control her seizures. Medication has helped, but she still experiences seizures. Surgery is the one option that can give her hope of living an independent life with the ability to drive again and live seizure free. Emily had a first surgery two weeks ago where doctors implanted leads into her brain to track the origin of her seizures. Last week she had 4 seizures and the data confirmed that all of the seizures came from the same spot in her brain. Next Tuesday morning, Jan. 21, (7:30 am) she will have surgery to remove that section of her brain. She has one of the top neurosurgeons and team of doctors at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Please join us in praying for Emily; that God would use the team of doctors and nurses and modern medicine to heal her. Emily has a strong faith in the Lord and appreciates all of our prayers.
thanks,
Kim & Mike
