Some of you have heard us speak of the "Miracle Scenario," but up until this point I have been reluctant to blog it. But, considering that today is Josh's 8th day off all anti-seizure meds and his 16th day without a seizure, it is hard not to believe in the possibility of a miracle.
The "miracle scenario" is this: The placement of the electrodes on Josh's brain was enough to alter something and "cure" him of seizures. His doctors say there have been rare cases in which this has occurred. Perhaps Josh will be one of those and they can write him up in the medical books -- The Josh Silverman Syndrome. One of the surgeon's associates used the metaphor of pressing control-alt-delete and re-booting the brain.
So, bottom line, we're praying for a miracle, but, if he has a seizure, that's good, too.

Would they put him back on meds. after surgery whether he has a seizure or not?
ReplyDeleteOnly two days to go! You are indeed fortunate to have such a caring community of friends and family. I'm certain that it is because you all are such special people and like attracts like!
ReplyDeleteI will be praying for the miracle.

We've been wondering how Josh is doing and I just found out about his blog from one of the parents!!! We just want you to know that our thoughts are with all of you and we're all hoping for that miracle, too!!! Please let us know if there's anything we can do.
