Prayers for my Leeza

For the past three weeks, Leeza has been having tremoring episodes which could be possible seizures.  She has always had tremors, but this is much different.  We aren't exactly sure what it is because they aren't following what a normal seizure looks and feels like. The only pattern we have seen is the days of the week in which they occur...only on Sunday or Monday.  Anyway, tomorrow we are taking her to the hospital to have an EEG and other lab work done.  We have already prayed for healing, and we believe that she is healed...either through a miracle or through the doctors.  What I am asking is for prayers for Leeza to not feel scared and to feel comfort from Jesus through this process.  She has a fear of hospitals which is understandable considering she remembers being taken from her Ukrainian parents and placed in a hospital and never returning home.  Please pray for peace and comfort for her and her mommy as well! ;-). I am trying to be strong in front of her, but I am struggling emotionally.  I hate seeing my baby scared or sick..or anything except happy.  She is our sunshine...the bright spot in our days with her lively personality and funny ways.  If I ever feel sad or stressed, my Leeza can cheer me right up.  Right now we are sitting in the living room spending girl time because she isn't suppose to have more than 4 hours of sleep for the test. Also pray for wisdom for the doctors to figure out what is going on...if it isn't seizures then they have to figure out what it is.  There is always the possibility of it being associated with PTSD...which is common for internationally adopted kiddos. Whatever it is, we believe God has healed her.

Thanks! This is one of the toughest things to go through...not knowing what is wrong. I appreciate the prayers. I will hopefully have answers tomorrow when we see the neurologist. Hoping to make sure there is nothing going on with her brain with the MRI tonight. Today was rough for her with multiple episodes and falling while standing still. Thanks again for the prayers.
