Charlene had been crying consistently for a month.

When we said crying, we mean the uncontrollable, inconsolable type. No matter what we do, we can't comfort her and stop her from crying. We change her diapers,change her gauze, put her in prone, pat her, rock her, massage her forehead, put lotion on her, cover her with blankets, turn up the fan, sing songs... Nothing really works.

The worst is that she cries as long as she's awake. If she's awake for 5 hrs a day, she cries for 4 hrs. We might distract her from crying for 5 mins, then she starts crying soon after.

The incessant crying is driving us nuts. We and my mother-in-law had lost patience with her a few times and scolded her. Though we know it's not her fault.

We prayed and are praying. Lord, pls bless us with the patience and strength to endure this period of affliction. Pls take away Charlene's discomfort and make her calm and alert. We thank the Lord hat the seizures have been very much reduced from 12-20 a day to 1-2 a day.
