My name is Sarah Whiddon

I used to have Epilepsy

I started having epilepsy when I was 3 1/2 years old. From 3 1/2 to 6 years old I had gr (the bigger seizures). From 6 to 16 1/2 years old I had Complex Partial.

In I believe early November 1999 my mom read an article about the vagus nerve stemulator. Then she went to the seminar about it. The doctor who did the speech became my doctor. I saw him in November. He said we have to rule out brain surgery before we think about the VNS.

I went through a lot of testing. I had a video eeg, ictal spec video eeg, MRI, and funtional MRI. Also while I was in the hosptial I met Tara Lipinski. After all my testing I was capable for brain surgery. On February 21, 2000 was my last seizure and on February 24, 2000 I had brain surgery. I have been seizure free ever since my brain surgery.

Overcoming Obstacles Poem

Overcoming Obstacles

I have overcome most of my anxiety by doing spiritual forgiveness. Now I'm working on the last little bit and I will feel free of anxiety

I'm not afraid of the dark anymore, thanks to having the right prescription lenses

I'm slowly overcoming my Cerebral Palsy by working out at the gym

I now have a lot of Faith in God and he has helped me overcome all of what I said

Overcoming Obstacles

one time I did leg extension 25lb 3x on my right and 30lb 3x on my left, quad stretch 20lb 2x on both but separate. And one time I did Biceps curls 8lb 10x twice. And shoulder press 8lb 7x twice.

Finally I have dexterity in my right hand and starting to move my fingers individually. I am truly slowly overcoming all my disabilities. PRAISE GOD!!!

Overcoming Obstacles.

I'm also not as afraid as I used to be with the sirens. I can handle one or two but three or four I'm still working on.

And I'm not as afraid of crowds as much as I used to be. I can handle simi crowds now and working towards overcoming the big crowds.

Overcoming Obstacles

I have totally overcome my fear of crowds now and I have totally overcome my fear of sirens and thunderstorms.

My anxiety is pretty much long gone now. I have won each battle and prospered them Thanks be to God!!

Overcoming Obstacles

God helped me overcome each battle within the past few years and I am so Blessed that he did.
