Camp/Madison/Seizure
My last day of being an assistant program director at Crooked Creek Christian Camp was this past Friday the 13th. The four weeks of camp that I worked with all went well. There were a few challenges that occurred, but the overall camp for the children this summer went very well. We all had a great time swimming, playing games, eating, worshiping God, and discovering the gifts that God has given each one of us. While it is nice to have a break from camp after the week is done, I still would enjoy having a few more this summer. There is a lot of positive energy that is involved in the camp atmosphere that I will miss.
The following day, Saturday the 14th, I took off with a new friend to Madison, Wisconsin. We were both going to the yearly reunion hosted by a person who works spiritually with our health. The reunion went very well and it was good to get to know other people who are receiving care for different medical challenges that they are experiencing in their lives.
In addition to participating in the reunion, I was also able to explore a little bit of the downtown of Madison. There were a couple of places we ate at and a few shops we stopped by. I also enjoyed being able to walk to the lake that is close to downtown Madison.
Our trip back home to Iowa happened on Sunday the 15th. But, this trip was unfortunately not as simple as it was supposed to be. Even before we had left Madison, I had a seizure in the car. The driver quickly called the EMTs and an ambulance was quickly by my side. The nurse practitioner evaluated me while I was in the car and instead of sending me to the hospital in Madison, sent us on our way to meet my parents close to Davenport. After meeting up with my parents, I quickly went to the University Hospital in Iowa City to receive a check out from my doctor. My doctor checked me out and decided that I did not need an MRI. Rather, he prescribed more of the anti-seizure medication in hope of decreasing the chances of having future seizures. I am thankful that I did not have to receive an MRI today.
If you feel like praying for me, I would appreciate it. I continue to ask for prayers in remaining cancer free. But, I also would appreciate prayers for protection against having seizures and for my next MRI and CT scans that will be happening in August. Through God, amazing things can happen!
peace,
Nathan
