disabled daughter her often. She has seizures, developmental disability and digestive problems. Does not talk, can no longer walk, needs full care. I cared for her for the first 45 years of her life and she is now in a foster home at the age of 56.
For the last year she has gone from 8-10 seizures a month to 2 a month. Several days ago she had a terrible seizure. It lasted 12 minutes and she was rigid during the whole thing scraping the inside of her arms and other damage. We have no idea what is happening to her or why. Have a full physical scheduled in two days.
Please pray for her or whatever form of thoughts you use in emergencies. Her name is Terri. Thank you.
