Memphis Bound

I mentioned in an earlier post about Dawson's Neuro wanting us to get to Memphis to see a different Pediatric Neurologist to get another set of expert eyes on Dawson and his ever evolving seizures. Once again, God's timing is always perfect. Everything aligned just perfectly and there was a last minute cancellation and we are getting to go this coming Monday and will be staying the week at Le Bonheur Childrens running the gambit of tests. If it weren't for this cancellation, it would have been the end of November before we could get in to see him. We have been witness time and time again to God's hand spinning us in the directions HE wants us to go and this is no different.

We certainly dread the long week, taking a VERY active 3 year old and hooking them up to a bunch of wires glued to his head, which in turn takes away the freedom. We dread, as always, him being put to sleep, the MRI's, the PET scans and who knows what else they have in mind.. BUT..

We are excited that Dr. Wheless will be looking very closely at him and hopefully coming up with some great ideas that will help this little boy.... Baltimore this past weekend.... Memphis this coming week.... My my my aren't we the little traveler's now???

Keep us in prayer as we try to prepare mentally, emotionally, and financially for a long and draining week.

I do remember last year being at UAB for 8 straight days with him hooked up to a VEEG.. I also remember looking over at Allison on the drive home and I remember saying to her... " If we can survive being in that jail cell for 8 days and still be married..... we can survive anything!!!" So 5 days shouldn't be that bad right??

Our love to all of you

It's always easier once you're on the other side of things!

Praying that the time will pass smoothly while you're getting from here - to there!

And that the end results will be worth it!
