Children's Hospital Appointment-TOMORROW

Tomorrow at 2:30, we will be going to Children's for an appointment with Dr. Connonly, Karter's Epileptologist (that's the fancy name for neurologist, she just has more credentials :-)). As you know, we had an appointment book for November 28th, but it was bumped to tomorrow instead. Partially because they may need to alter his medication dosage, as he is growing!!!

I am feeling both peaceful and anxious about tomorrows appointment. As I have said many times before, we never seem to go there for good news. They will be checking on Karter's progress since surgery, his growth, his seizure frequency and will discuss with us the options and treatment for the upcoming months.

As you know, at the last appointment, they had put out the idea of further surgery. Friends, I don't want to go there. I will be honest, I do want the best for Karter, but I would prefer that not to include further surgery. His development is so slow, but we are making progress. Sunday he rolled over twice, unassisted and at different times throughout the day. He has not done it since, but it is obvious that he is capable of doing it.

So I ask that you pray for us as we go through today and tomorrow. Kurtis is sick, so please pray for health for him so that he can accompany me to the appointment. Also, pray that we rest easy and that we have such peace as we sleep tonight and then as we go to the appointment. Pray that the doctors would see, as we have, significant changes in Karter and that for the first time ever we would get GOOD news.

Also, please continue to pray that karter's development picks up. I feel like we are on the verge of a flood gate opening. So please pray for him in that. Pray that he gets well 9has a cold and double ear infection) and that he stays well this Cold Season. His asthma is acting up again and we are aggressively treating that, but we believe that God can heal Karter of that as well.


Thanks so much for your prayers.
