One More Day!

Well, tomorrow we head home! We will have an appointment around 9:00 at LeBonheur Children's Hospital this is the hospital Brenna had her second Brain Surgery at. We are meeting with her eptimologist and He is not a St. Jude Doc, but a LeBonheur Doc. - Obviously! Today the only thing we had was an L.P. test (Lumbar Puncture). We won't know the results for that for a few days. Once again Brenna impressed the daylights out of the anesthesiologist today. There were three in the room as they put in an IV. She wanted to watch and didn't say a word. The first one the vein blew right away so they had to put in another and they were very very impressed. Everyone knows she gets that from her mom and not her dad (Dad is typing this!) We went to the zoo today and it was a perfect zoo day as far as the weather goes. There were 7 charter buses there, plus a few school bus loads all of kids and sponsors. So there were a few people there to enjoy the day along with us.

As far as yesterday went, She had her feet fitted for inserts that will fit in her shoes. We won't ge them until we get home (They will mail them to us!) She has not lost any more hearing - thank the Lord. They did notice a 'possible' problem with one of her ears - the 'air test' was showing that there was more movement in one of her eardrums and the other was normal. We met with the ENT specialist - who is only there twice a week for half days and he was just finished with his appointments and we went right in. He said that they extra movement was nothing. He also commented on the flexibility is from having tubes put in and one side grew back normal and the other didn't but it doesn't do anything except show that there is more movement. Anyone else confused?

We also saw the Endocrinologist (growth study people) Brenna hasn't grown very much in height or in bone age (she is only 7 and ten/twelfths years old) Again - anyone else confused? How in the world can my bones not be the same age as my body?

We did get to have lunch with Jeff and Julie - minister and his wife from East Win Christian Church, at Big Foot (at Brenna's request - both place and friends!) Of course we had to end with the traditional Smores at the table. As for now we wait for the morning and pack up, head over to the 'other' hospital and then have a quick lunch with another couple from East Win - who had a baby that we have not seen yet. Then we will head back for home - Cleveland, Oklahoma. We are ready to be home, but know we will hit the ground running there since Easter is just a little over a week away! Thank you all for your prayers and support. God continues to take care of us and bless us incredibly. I am amazed that he has kept us in HIS care throughout our journey. Once again HE has proven HIS love to us!
