> During the past week Amber has had small episodes in the daytime ( 5-15

> Well it did happen at school and the kids all handled it well. No one has

> Praise:
> 1. We have access to an MRI for Amber in Almaty.
> 2. Amber held still for 26 minutes inside a noisy drill like sounding MRI
> machine.
> 3. Amber is still happy and active 99.9% of the time.

> Prayer:
> 1. Ask the Lordto lead us to an American or Western trained neurologist

> 2. Wisdom about the next steps.
