Well, here we are. It's check up time again for Brenna. It's also the week we meet with the epileptologist and surgeon to decide whether or not we're going to do surgery. We've been praying about this meeting for a long time. And we know that many others have as well. We just want God's wisdom in making the right choice for Brenna and we know we can't do it on our own. It's really comforting to know that so many are praying for God's guidance for us. I know that He will make the way clear.
We arrived here last night a little before 10:00. We had to be in Assessment Triage at 7:45am this morning. Brenna was scheduled for an MRI at 8:45, so she couldn't eat or drink anything. So we got to the new CHili's Care Center - which is a new building at St. Jude that Chili's donated. When we checked in, we found out that they had moved us up to 7:15am - oops, but they were running behind so it didn't matter. They got her vein on the first poke and then left the iv in because she was to be sedated for the MRI. We went on and signed in for MRI....................almost three hours later we find out that they failed to tell us the MRI machine that they use on Brenna was broken and they rescheduled her MRI for THursday. I knew they were running behind because of all the people waiting, but I was a bit frustrated to find out that they hadn't told us we were rescheduled. They took her iv out and we decided to go to lunch since we had all skipped breakfast.
Our plans have changed a bit now. We hoped to go home on Wednesday after our meeting with the docs, but it looks like it will be late Thursday or even Friday now. Oh well, I guess we're used to our plans being changed. I think we've come to expect it.
Right now, our plan is to go see Kung Fu Panda at the Peabody Place. We need to go have a few laughs and we might as well make the best of it.

Dearest Bettina,
Oh my, all the agony and emotions, and then it's all pushed back...
I felt your pain and frustration.
Hope you had fun going to the show and will make the most out of your new "waiting period".
Now we all have "MORE TIME" to really press in and pray for your daughter's scans.
Father please give Bettina and her husband wisdom as they talk to the doctors this week concerning surgery. Cover them with your love, and comfort them during this season in their lives. In Jesus name.
Blessed are those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. Psalm 84:5
