Today was a bad day; Charlene had more than her usual share of episodes. It might be due to the reduction of medication (sodium valporate down to 0.5ml).
After 1 of her episodes, my father-in-law questioned why this is happening. After Dez said that the doctors don't really know too, he suggested seeking help from other gods.
I said that all that Charlene is now is from Jesus Christ and that we remember all the grace that He has shown to us and to Charlene. We described to him how bad Charlene's condition was after birth, that her head was bloated and she couldn't even move her eyelids. And it's easy to forget how far Charlene has progress, even for us, if not for the fact that we journaled down our thoughts and events.
Dez also said that, regardless of the religion, its essential that we sincerely believe in 1 God. Even for Christians or Buddhists, it shows a lack of sincerity if we go around praying to other deities. How can one be saved if our belief is not firm? And for us, we believe in Jesus Christ and nothing else.
My father-in-law understand the logic and is willing to respect our choice.
At 330pm, Charlene woke up and had the curious look on her face. After feeding her, she continued to have the curious look so we interacted with her. She sucked the pacifier for a while. And she had many facial expressions and was trying hard to smile. Praise God as He answered Dez prayers (see 26 Mar 10 post)! God is good!
