Mandy’s Story

Site created on September 13, 2019

As some of you know, our daughter Mandy has been having focal seizures for about 2 years now.  In March of this year (2019), the doctor’s found a small tumor in the right temporal lobe. We made a trip to Boston Children’s Hospital in July to pursue treatment. Our journey begins.

Journal entry by Donnetta McDaniel

Today is the 3 year anniversary of Mandy's brain surgery to remove a tumor that was causing seizures.  I don't think I could express our gratitude to God and our friends and family better than Mandy did on her Instagram post today.  I have pasted it here.  

Hey everyone!! It has been exactly 3 years since my brain surgery and I just wanted to give y’all an update on how I’ve been doing!

I think that it is pretty obvious that God was working through my situation. There was so much evidence of Him and I don’t even know where to begin. But I know that it wasn’t a coincidence that some of our best family friends planned their trip to Boston the SAME WEEK that I was going to have my surgery in Boston. It wasn’t a coincidence that the night before my surgery I met the assistant surgeon at a restaurant.
It wasn’t a coincidence that my surgery was performed just days before COVID spread in the Boston area. And it is definitely not a coincidence that I have been medicine free, anxiety/depression free, and seizure free for 3 YEARS!! Praise God!

I wanted to thank EVERYONE who sent me and my family cards (I’ve kept ALL of them btw) and prayed for me!! It meant the world to my family!!

THANK YOU FOR READING THIS!!! Have a blessed and safe fall break!!! 🧡🍂🍁
