I follow you everywhere because I find you have a kind soul ♥️ I’m a firm believer that life only brings us what we can handle. Although it is overwhelming, you are a strong woman, mother and wife. You will get through this. As for Silas, if he does have epilepsy, he will grow stronger from it just like his mom. ♥️ I have faith that all will go well. 🥰 And the house 🤞🤞🤞🤞can’t wait to know !
Thank you so much!!! I try to the best of my ability to love all and treat others with the kindness I would love for others to treat me. Sometimes I feel like I’m weak and inferior to others, but I trust in the Lord and push through that. Kind of like having a baby was for me. 😉 I needed your encouragement today, I’ve had a rough day and needed to hear that. Thank you!!! ❤️
Thank you! I was thrilled that Silas was able to get in for an EEG so fast. I just wish he didn’t have to have one. I can’t believe I have recovered as fast as I did. I sang in church last night. ❤️
Thumbs up. You have had much physical and emotional stress and have plowed through and accomplished so much. It is heartwarming that you keep in mind how much God loves you. You and your family will be included in the intentions of my next rosary. .
Thanks so much for posting this, girl! I'm actually getting surgery soon, too. I am wondering if you could explain more about what it was like to get put to sleep? This is the part that FREAKS me OUT!! Like, what does it feel like? How do they do it? What does it feel like when they put the stuff in, like do you get sleepy or is more like wide awake to instantly out? Could you have stayed awake if you would have tried or is it impossible? Haha. Basically whatever you remember about that part would be helpful. Thanks so much!
Great question! To start off with they walk you into the room and then you lay on a thin table with arm holders coming out. When you get on the table they adjust your head (well they had to for me because of the type of surgery I was having). They will strap you down, like your legs and arms, so you don’t move during surgery. Then they take and have you breathe oxygen in through a mask that goes over your nose and mouth. They told me at this point that even if I didn’t feel like anything was coming through it actually was. They said just to keep breathing as deep as you can. While I was doing that they had pot something through the IV that could give you a salty taste in your mouth. I didn’t actually taste anything, so I have no idea what they were talking about. Then after that they didn’t even tell me they were putting the medicine in to pump me out. So all I remember is taking a few really deep breaths in from the oxygen machine and then I was out. They don’t put any tubes into you until you’re completely out, so you don’t have to worry about the tubes being put in and pulled out they do it all while you’re under. I was under for 50 minutes. Then I woke up in a recovery room and they watched me to see how well I came out of the anesthesia. Then after 20 to 30 minutes, 2 cups of water, four Popsicles, and going to the washroom they sent me to the regular recovery room. This is where I spent the rest of my time in the hospital for the day. They did checks on my throat and made sure I had enough to drink and enough popsicles. I found that when I was going under it was kind of hazy for a couple of seconds and then I was gone. So it’s not a sudden thing but it’s also not drug out.
The tonsillectomy was to take care of my sleep apnea. The sleep apnea was what they thought might be a cause of the seizures, because I wasn’t getting enough rest I needed. It did help a little with my sleep apnea, but I have had a couple seizures after this. Also, I breath so much better when I get sick, because my tonsils were massive!
@@martinmade08 with the massive pain resulting from the tonsillectomy and the fact you are still having seizures, would you recommend this operation? Our goal would be to eliminate seizures.
In my case a tonsillectomy it was a must. I was having sleep apnea and I was going to go on a machine anyway. My tonsils were so big that not one doctor refused the idea of having them taken out. It was never going to take my seizures away. The only seizures that would disappear were ones that were from lack of sleep. I was 4 years old when I started having seizures. But there are things that can sometimes cause seizures. Lack of sleep, stress, some foods, and so on. It all depends on the person. I would always talk to your doctor about anything. If you have seizures you need to know why you have them. From the time I was really little my tonsils were massive and I had a hard time breathing. So when my sleep apnea came up and they said that sometimes a tonsillectomy will help with sleep apnea. I went for it. I was having seizures before and wondered if the up tick in seizures was from the sleep apnea. So we got my tonsils out and it did help with my sleep apnea. I still need my CPAP but I’m not gasping through the night. The tonsillectomy wasn’t a cure for seizures. I’ve had some seizures since the tonsillectomy but I’ve not had many. Though I’m getting more sleep, the fewer seizures has more to do with the fact that we have found a good medication for me. Having had seizures though mad the tonsillectomy a breeze. I bite my tongue with the seizures and the sore throat felt more like that.
Prayers for your son and family. God’s faithful! 🙏🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼
Thank you! Yes He has always shown Himself faithful and true throughout times of hardship and trials. Thank you again for the prayers! ❤️
Love you!! ❤️
Thank you Julie! ❤️ you too!

There's so much good news in this video! 🙌

Hi. For yourself, is it confirmed that a tonsillectomy will stop your seizures?
The tonsillectomy was to take care of my sleep apnea. The sleep apnea was what they thought might be a cause of the seizures, because I wasn’t getting enough rest I needed. It did help a little with my sleep apnea, but I have had a couple seizures after this. Also, I breath so much better when I get sick, because my tonsils were massive!

Hello Martin
I have a question plz!
Have you ever have a seizure after tonsils removal surgery?
I have had 1 now. We are not for sure why because I was very stable and had my license back. So we upped my meds
