Hi friends. I am having trouble sending out emails to all of you so I welcome you to check out my blog as we go through this amazing journey. Either Jered or I will be updating this blog site as we go through the next few months.
At this time we are waiting to hear back from the doctor in NY and we are going to seek a referral to a doctor in California.
We really believe that God led us to and provided for us to go to the TCI clinic in NY so that I could be properly diagnosed. Now that we have that diagnosis we are going to look for a surgeon who specializes in spinal neurosurgery who is a little closer to home. The reasons for this are very practical. 1. closer to home means less travel expenses and no long flight after surgery.2. we will only be gone for 10 days or so as opposed to 21 days.3. Jered can stay with family in the area and I can have family visit while we are in the hospital.4. The insurance will pay in network prices for these doctors which we feel is fiscally prudent on our part.5. There are very good neurosurgeons in CA and now that we have gotten a direction we feel confident we can find a surgeon who can do the surgery and follow up as well as help should any complications arise. Follow up will be in CA which means less traveling over the next year.
I am looking at 2 doctors right now, Dr. Kee D. Kim and Dr. Boggan who are both part of the UC Davis spine clinic. We are praying that God will give us wisdom and favor as we seek out the person who will be our doctor for this surgery.

So glad to have this blog to check to see how you are doing. Yes, I'm praying for you and will continue to do so. Having had surgery far out of state myself, I very much hope and pray that God will bless you with surgical treatment much closer to home.
I just asked Heather if she remembered Carlie. She looked perplexed and finally said she remembered "Caroline". She then said she'd like to tell her hi!
Hugs!
Hi sweet Marie. I was encouraged to read your update and praising the Lord for the path He has led you on to this Doctor. He is GOD!! Halleulujah!!
We have all been praying for you and will continue to lift you and the doctors to the Lord for direction as you explore these new findings. I pray that the Lord will sing swett happy songs over you as He takes such great delight in you Darlin'.

Great to hear from you and your progress. We prayed at our church for you and I know God is a God of healing and restoration. So I pray right now for your healing and restoration to even greater growth in God and responsibilties to those you work with in the name of Jesus. God Bless you and your family in this time of growth and restoration. George J and Cindy
We keep you close in our hearts and prayers every moment of the day. Just a week ago you did not know there was a dr in Ca who was able to perform this surgery. The fact that God showed you this info alone is an answer to prayer and a great comfort to our hearts.
We love you Ria, our favorite oldest daughter! love, mom and dad
