Update from Today's Appointment

Update from Today's Appointment May 28, 2009, 6:17 AM

This is Steve again with a brief update following Lee’s appointment with her PCP today for which we had asked your prayers. I truly wish I had some great new insights or direction based on the appointment but we quite honestly find ourselves more frustrated after the visit than before we arrived. While her doctor expressed an understanding of our frustrations with the recent breakdown in communication and derailment of what we thought was Lee’s treatment plan, she did not come through with the course corrections that we were hoping
for. She has been back in contact with Lee’s pain management doctor and they seem to be convincing each other that the path of simply reducing her current medicine regimen and just waiting to “see what happens” without any solid alternatives to manage the debilitating headaches that have plagued her since our 2003 car accident.[...]

A Test of Faith

A Test of Faith May 23, 2009, 3:22 PM

Hello to all, this is Steve posting for the first time on Lee’s behalf. I will warn you in advance that I am likely not nearly as colorful or detail oriented as my darling bride but she has had a very tough last few days and so I wanted to briefly bring you up to date on some things that have transpired so you can know how to pray specifically for her. First, however, let me say how MUCH all of your “posts and prayers” have meant to her. Lee was very hesitant about starting the Care Page, but I literally see her eyes light up and spirits rise when she reads the thoughtful words of love and encouragement that so many of you have offered through the site. Thank you![...]

First, I have to express a special thanks to each of you who sent messages of encouragement following my first “posting.” I never imagined how much such words of hope would lift my spirits and generate such fond memories. Thank you for the gift of your words![...]
