Hello everyone, some time has past since my last update. Just wanted to give some news on what's been happening.
We all made a road trip with our good friends John and Becky Elliott over winter break in which our intended destination was to be Coldwater, Michigan to visit friends. Our trip was to include a stop-over at Louisville, KY for UCG's Winter Family Weekend, then on to Lexington, KY for the independent sites Winter Weekend and then on to Michigan. Well, as it turned out, we made it to Louisville and got too comfortable with the accommodations and the opportunity to reunite with many people from the past. There appeared to be around 1000 people there. We did manage to make it over to Lexington on Saturday, but returned that evening. After it was all over on Sunday, we all were heading back home when Maria and I got the notion to turn around and head on up to Michigan, which we did.
Anyway, the trip was great, but cut short a little by Maria getting sick.
Everyone is on the mend including Emily who has developed a case of infantigo/impetigo, which sounds terrible, but apparently is quite common among kids. I recall this to a serious thing when I was a kid, but apparently the treatment today is quite effective.
Emily is scheduled for another MRI/CT Scan in February at the Scottish Rite hospital in Dallas. This will determine the next steps in correcting her spine. What we're hoping to find is that the sack of fluid on her spine is either gone or dissipating and that the spinal cord is showing no signs of fusing back to the vertebrae.
That's it for now. Thank you for every one's interest and support.
Oh, it appears that insurance has covered the majority of the hospital bill. In fact we received a small refund check so as to appear that we overpaid. However, a couple days later, we received a new bill showing new charges for the same procedure. Go figure. It may not be over.
