The Initial Consult

Well, three hours of the basic poking and prodding and question and answer time with two very specialized doctors, which didn't seem to offer us much change in the status quo. Doctor Weinshenker explained that according to all the information he had read on LaDawne's case and the surface exam he preformed there is not much more new information he could give us. Since LaDawne's most recent attack back in December 07, there have been no MRI's taken in Alberta. This is one issue that the doctor was displeased with. And so he asked that we go for more recent and in-depth testing for tomorrow and Wednesday. This testing will include three MRI's of the whole spine as well as the brain, a spinal tap, an eye exam (as it pertains to MS and neurology) and some blood tests.
It is very hard to understand the plan that God has for us here as we did expect greater things, more positive things at our first consultation. The tests may show something that will give them some more answers which would be so good. Even though it feels like God has deserted us at this moment, we know that He has not. He is the God of miracles. Please pray that the rest of our time here would bring about something positive. We wish that we could share some exciting things with you right now, but as of this moment, we must be okay with this part of the plan. We ask that you do not give up your hope or your constant prayers for God to shower His mercy upon us.

We love you. Things seem uncertain today, but we have a BIG God who is watching the whole scene unfold as he planned. He loves you more than you can both imagine. Thanks for the updates. We will be praying and urging others to pray.

hey guys,

remember that one of gods greatest gifts to us took 6 days to create. and the journey that the two of you are in the middle of is not easily swayed by one day. good or bad. and when you feel that warm fuzzy feeling in the middle of your chests on the days when the sun doesn't quite shine so bright, that's what prayer feels like...
