Thanks for your prayers. Please continue to pray for us. LMM will need to be diligent to take her own medication, and to get in bed and get up at the same time each day, as I'm not always here to remind her. I need wisdom to learn how to manage this, and how to treat migraines if they return.

Update on Prayer Request
We saw a nurse practitioner on Friday, who had just a month ago attended a lecture on headache management. God knew just who we needed to see :-) She took a thorough history. She thought LMM's severe headache a week ago was a migraine (which none of us have ever had before). She confirmed what I was thinking, that this one set up severe insomnia, which triggered tension headaches all last week. Since our home remedies weren't working, she prescribed something to help LMM sleep, and advised increasing the dose of OTC pain medication for several days to break the cycle.

My husband gets headaches from weather/pressure changes (which are unavoidable) but also from caffeine (even chocolate, which he loves!). My 6 y.o. daughter is affected by caffeine as well and also MSG. There are so many things to be mindful of with migraines! I will definitely keep your daughter in prayer.
