> Prayer:
> 1. Wisdom about the medication; to put Amber on Carbatrol or not.

> 3. If she takes Carbatrol, pray that we could get the medication in

> Praise:
> 1. Amber got to see an exellent pediatric neurologist.

>  Their initial thoughts were that she's having Simple and/or Complex
> Partial seizures.  They also think it's Benign Rolandic Epilepsy.
> WWW.epilepsy.org and www.epilepsyfoundation.org had info on this and on
