The ear infection is getting better …. the medicine is working – whew! Well, I don’t have my “surgery summary” down to a 3-4 min. speech, but I did type up a sheet with all the surgery dates, times, dr. name, etc. It will save me having to write this four times on medical forms. You would laugh if you saw the notebook and files on each dr. that I am taking. They don’t know who is coming on Thurs/Friday!
I read more about the Baylor gait lab over the weekend and am so thankful that I was able to get in there. They place these sensors on all your joints and then 12 cameras take pictures at the same time as I walk. The cameras can detect movement up to 1/100th of a second. If there are muscles or joints that either are not working or I’m not able to make work, the analysis will show this. It is pretty amazing technology. Olympic athletes learn a lot from this place on how to improve their sport. It also helps doctors to know what treatment/surgery is best for patients. Hope it lives up to what it sounds like in research reports.
Prayer requests for this week:
- Travel safety
- God will be honored & glorified in the midst of our circumstance.
- Surgeon consult wisdom
- Time; they will spend the necessary time w/us & will answer questions
candidly, even if the choices or news is tough to hear.
- Expectations; whatever happens is what was supposed to occur.
- Attitude; that I won’t be upset if no one has any answers.
- Stamina; a lot is happening on Thursday!
- Fun; we’ll be able to do something fun in TX, after medical stuff.
If the conversation would progress to the point that we’d feel the need to start working w/one of the new doctors, this needs to be incredibly obvious to us. It will happen if we are to make a change. Pray that we’d ask the right questions during each appointment.
Appointment times:
10:20am – Thurs. – Dr. C
1:00pm – Thurs. – Dr. E
3:00pm – Thurs. – Gait test
9:30am – Friday – Dr. R
Good verses for this week …..
Do not begin to be anxious – Phil 4:6
Fret not – Psalm 37:1
Let us run with patience – Hebrews 12:1
Love,

Dear Jenny, What a busy schedule. You for sure need an hourly planner not weekly. Thinking and praying for you. Waiting to hear some very good news. Love, Ted,Carol,Teddy. PS: Teddy is on fall break can you believe it? We are taking down the last of the wallpaper in the house kitchen and utility room and painting, getting new hardwood floors. Guess whose idea it was he is keeping me young I guess.
Hey...thanks for the itinerary for the trip. Looks like you have a full schedule, but I DO hope you have time to do something fun. I was thinking 'bout the verse that says "run with patience..." For you, I'd consider it an answer to prayer if you could WALK...running can come in a week or two, huh? Thinking of you! L Jo
