Hoping to have the time soon to fully update on Camilla's progress and post some new pics and video but for now I hope you'll settle for a quickie update. We do NOT have to go to the OR to resolve the issues with her incision (at least not this week). Dr. Blount believed that it was showing some signs of healing but warned us that progress would be SLOW and we are still not off the hook with the OR. He wants to see us again next week to be sure that things are still headed in a positive direction. Today he talked like if they did have to take her at this point (or next week) that they would put her to sleep long enough to scrap off the scabs that have formed and clean it thoroughly. There are still no signs of infection but they are being very cautious - which we are thankful for - I still have to clean the incision twice daily.
Thank you all again for your prayers. They ARE being felt and answered - God is listening. Thanks too for the well-wishes - they continue to encourage and strenthen us each day. And another thanks for the meals that continue to come - with the two trips to Tuscaloosa and one to Birmingham per week for the last three weeks I haven't had the time, energy or desire to think about food - what a relief it has been to have a warm and delicious dinner delivered most every afternoon :)
Please continue to pray for healing - for seizures, for the incision, for development. Also for safety as we travel to and from therapy and visits. Her first post-op EEG is scheduled for next week - pray for this too - we want a clean report. We continue to have seizure-free days but we want to see the 'normal' EEG with our unbelieving eyes and our scared hearts. I don't know why we continue to doubt and live in fear of seeing another seizure - God let us know awhile back that He had great things in store for Camilla - pray for us too - God has been faithful - pray for us to be as well.
"For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you HOPE and a FUTURE." Jeremiah 29:11
