Please pray for me

Hi everyone, I hope you all are well. The reason for my post is I would like to ask everyone to remember me and my family in your prayers. After being diagnosed anovulatory, I do not ovulate on my own, we decided to try Intrauterine Insemination. I have been very blessed thus far regarding seizure activity. I still take Phenobarbital every night and I had my first IUI Monday. YIKES!! I am so excited and nervous at the same time. It's a good nervous though. I have dreamed of being a mommie for as long as I can remember and just knowing at this very moment our little miracle could be coming together inside me... it's Heaven. Listen to me, I don't even know if the IUI worked or not yet and I have to wait 2 whole weeks before I can take a pg test, this is going to be the longest 2 weeks of my life I believe. Anyway, I would greatly appreciate all of your prayers that I may have a safe/smooth pregnancy and of course a healthy baby. I'll share my result as soon as I get it, hopefully I'll be bringing everyone good/positive news. Thanks, Vanessa

Spiz, Actually...I'm 47 too, but grand mal seizures from 1-6. Recently, I was diagnosed with R. Temporal Lobe Epilepsy in Dec. after going into a seizure when I was a victim of a road rage incident. Like I said yesterday... I'm alive!!! It could have been worse, and all I was doing was stopping for a pedestrian at a school zone crosswalk with lights flashing, and the person behind me expects me to keep on going??? I don't understand! Oh well.. It's past, and everyone lived! Is it common for people with Temporal Lobe Seizures to have a lot of different types of seizures? Also, do you know of anyone who loses their frame of time? For instance 2 1/2 hrs seeming like 15 or 20 min? Sheree
