I have been debating on if I should post this, I dont like sharing these extremly personal experiences, but I felt that I wanted to remember what happened this night was for us.
I just wanted to share an experience we had with Tory. You all know that we have had problems with Tory and her breatholding / seizures. Well they have been gradually slowing down, always there, just not as severe. So we have been breathing a little easier hoping that she has finally started to grow out of them. On Christmas Eve we had a huge scare with her, she went into one of her breath holding spells which is usually followed by her body going rigid and her being unresponsive, ect... It is hard to explain withoug actually seeing it. Anyways Tory did not come out of this spell. She was completly un responsive to sound, smell, touch anything. Jeff, my Dad, Grandpa Luthy and Blake were all there to give her a blessing. Within a few minutes we decided it was time to take her to the hospital, which was not easy to do since we were at my parents and Idaho Falls Hospital is a 40 minute drive on icy roads with Tory so stiff she could not fit into her car seat. When we made it to the car the frigid air temperatures in Idaho must have jolted her back to reality. She came out of it acting normal but extremly tired of course.
The reason I tell this story, is because I fully believe that without the prayers given and the blessing Tory recieved she may not have come out of it. Me and Jeff fully thought we had lost our little girl that night. I completly believe Heavenly Father was there helping to protect Tory's mind through this episode and to guide us to make the right decisions. I just wanted to experess my love and humilty through this.
We are still struggling to find answers to help her and are still hitting road block after road block with her. Doctors dont seem to want to take an interest in her / dont know what to do. Right now we are waiting to hear back from the neurologist to see if he has any suggestions, but it did not sound likely. So we are back to waiting for her to grow out of it and if this happens again luckly we have a hospital just down the street.
Thanks for all your prayers for out little Tory. If she is like this as a baby can you imagine her as a teenager!

I really hope the doctors are right in that she does grow out of it. That is so hard on the whole family, especially her body too. Good thing she has strong parents by her side. :o)
Oh Sara...my heart goes out to you. Life's challenges are so hard and often even harder to understand why. I'm so happy that you and Jeff have each other and together with Heavenly Father, you'll always be able to make the right choices for you little family. I love you, and I will continue to pray for you.
Sarah we love both you and Jeff and your kids very much and we are always here if you need anything. We are also so happy that Tory is okay and hope that the doctors can find something to give you some more answers!
We love you! That was a scary night for us too. We were so worried. We were in the truck getting ready to leave when you called Mom and Dad and Dad ran out to tell us to pray so we promised we would as soon as we got home, but the kids said "No, we can do it on our way home" so we did. we've included her in all of our family prayers since then too. We hope the dr's find the answers for you! Love you so much!
We love you guys and are always praying for you and Tori!
