Biography
Rope, as we call him, was born September 7, 2004.  It was one of the happiest days of my life, I final had a little boy.  Rope started having small problems a few weeks after he was born.  The doctors keep saying it was nothing to just change his milk.  At six months old he was in the hospital for the first time.  After that he was better. Then at 15 months he was back in the hospital. And then he was better again.  He still had problems shaking, but we were told that he would out grow them. 

When Rope was 3 years old, he started showing more signs of seizures and we started with doctors again.  After many test, the doctor said that he was fine.  A year later when the problems were still there, we started with a new doctor. 

On October 15, 2008 everything changed, Rope had his first gand mal seizure. Our new doctor has been wonderful.  We have had many test done and now know that he has epilepsy.  The doctor believes that it is more then just epilepsy, and has more test coming.  We take everything day by day due to having 4 different types of seizures.  Please just keep us in your prays due to the good Lord can heal any and every thing.  Rope is my pride and joy.  I am lucky to have just a sweet loving son.
