While I did not hear directly about the results today ( this didn't surprise me since Dr. S. doesn't work on Mondays), I can pretty much assume that they came back abnormal because I got a call from neurology today giving me an appointment this Thursday at 1pm. ( the call from the neurology is just from a scheduler, they can't give me any information since we aren't established patients yet)
On one hand, we certainly are relieved and thankful to be seen so quickly. Since we knew, without the results, that something was going on, we are thankful that the road has been paved to get us in as quickly as possible.
On the other hand, I'm terrified and Thursday still seems too far away. And though, as his mother, I think Cohen needed to be seen days ago, the fact that they seemingly feel he needs to be seen rather quickly makes my heart race a bit. The fact that without us having seen any outward symptoms in Cohen during the EEG, they seemingly saw something on the EEG makes my mind go places I wish it wouldn't.
In spite of the fear, I do know that God is near. I do know that he is holding us and sweet Cohen in His hands. And I do know, that these are the plans that God has for Cohen. There is comfort, even in my fear.
In two and half days, we will hopefully receive some answers. I'm praying now that God prepares my heart for whatever those answers will be.
In the mean time, though it isn't exactly in the post I intended, I'd like to share Cohen's first year slideshow pictures, thanks to Kim...
They put a smile on my face, hope they do the same for yours!

Praying for Cohen and you extra Emily, asking God to go before you on Thursday and give you peace. I love the slide show and do you know who is singing "Jesus Loves Me"? It is beautiful and I would like to get it if you could find out and let me know. All of the pictures are just precious and his blue eyes can melt the soul:) He looks so much like Cort. Love you girl and try not to worry too much, Jesus loves Cohen so much.
Love and Hugs, Laurie
Em,
There's no way to make this easy...I've tried to think of some really creative way, but to no avail. I do praise God for the answered prayers so far: the 1st visit, Cohen's cooperation during the eeg, the quick eeg, results being abnormal and not leaving time for wondering, and the quick neuro appt. I also pleed with God for Cohen's body and for your hearts. I love you guys so much!
Much love, Jessica
waiting is almost the hardest part. I hope you have peace in these next few days. I will be thinking of you on thursday, and your sweet boy.
We're praying for you guys and esp your sweet boy!
As someone who's mind frequents places I don't want it to be... whevever Satan starts putting ideas in my head of everything that could go wrong....I stop thinking about it immediately and...then I pray that the Lord will gaurd my thoughts....It's a battle not to dwell on the negative things that can happen(at least it is for me)...but the Bible says Resist the Devil and he will Flee....I am praying for you and for Cohen...
you guys and Cohen have been on my mind frequently throughout the past few days.... please know I am lifting up your sweet son before Our God- the Great Physician, the author of life! love you
I surely can understand your "what if" scenarios. I do that all the time! Praying all goes well and whatever is wrong will be easily corrected.
Will be praying for you and Cohen for GOOD news!!! You can handle whatever it is because you know it is God's plan and you are such a strong person.
