Seizures

We’re at NYU emergency department. Andrew has had two seizures, caused by something in his brain that’s either a tumor, stroke/clot/bleed, or an infection. Everyone is assuming tumor. We won’t know until he can get an MRI, but he isn’t currently stable or alert enough to sit inside an MRI tube. 

He is on a considerable amount of sedating medications to stop the seizures and help severe back pain. His back is fractured, clearly triggered by the first seizure and maybe due to a tumor sitting near or on the spine. Also need MRI for more info on what they can do about this, if anything. 

We are waiting to confirm there are no more seizures coming and for Andrew to become more alert. Then we can determine whether he’ll be admitted to onc floor or neurology.

Elyse, you don’t know me, but I feel like you are my friends because Hannah is so close to your family. I am praying for God to heal Andrew. He can do it, if it’s His plan. Please know that I will continue to pray for Andrew’s recovery, but for now, peace to you, Andrew, and your family as you go through this dark time.

You are in my heart and prayers. May the peace of Lord wash over all of you. May Andrew be held in the loving arms of Jesus hearing the songs of the angels to bring comfort to his precious broken body and joy in the midst of sorrow to his consecrated sanctified loving heart
