Turning the Corner

Turning the Corner! June 24, 2009, 7:17 AM

It is with great joy and unceasing thankfulness with which I post this update. I believe I can claim that I have “turned the corner” physically with the rapid reduction in my pain medications. I am so thrilled to report that the hourly dosing of medication only 7 days ago has improved everyday and today I persevered, with the Lord’s strength, and made the 12- hour mark in between doses![...]

"This is the Day"

"This is the day . . . " June 19, 2009, 1:27 PM

(I apologize if you received this post twice. I posted yesterday (Thursday, June 18) but became aware of several who did not get the update email notification sent from CarePages. I have talked with customer support and they are working on the problem but I don't know when you will actually get this. We are praying it gets out soon as prayer support is in great need.)[...]

Hi this is Lee. Probably not the title you were expecting to update from this morning's very important appointment with the neurologist/pain management specialist from Seattle. First, thank each of you for your prayers. While we didn't get the answers we all were hoping for, God's presence was made known as He guarded my mouth from the harsh things that so badly wanted to come out, as He protected our hearts from utter despair, and in the moment - as He invisibly wiped away the tears that I knew were pouring but realizing my face was dry. My integrity, motives, and faith had been assaulted and the lack of a visible breakdown allowed me to leave with my dignity.[...]

Specialist Appointment Tomorrow

Specialist Appointment Tomorrow June 3, 2009, 12:36 AM

This is Steve posting again with a quick update and time sensitive prayer request. Lee will be seeing a neurospecialist at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle tomorrow morning at 9:30 am for evaluation of alternatives for her headache management. It normally takes many weeks to even months to get in to the center there but thanks to your many prayers on Lee's behalf they "happened to have" a cancellation vacancy tomorrow. Please pray for a good rapport with the doctor and for wisdom and guidance in her evaluation and treatment plan. Lee is having a tough week with her GI system not working at all so that makes the prospects of even going to the appointment a bit daunting for her so we also appreciate your prayers for her stamina. As always we count it such a blessing to have all of you praying for us and will update as soon as we can after the appointment.[...]
