I hesitate to write this before I get to talk with Andrea in-depth, but I wanted to give a preliminary update on the trip to Arizona. Andrea took Reagan and Colin to see a doctor there we believe might be able to help them.
One of the first things he did with Reagan was to determine that his hearing loss may not be permanent. That's going to be huge for him because right now he only needs half of an i-pod. He's like George Bailey without the Hee Haw. That's good news.
Andrea is with the doctor still. This evening she and the boys and another family who have gone through much the same as we have are having dinner with him to ask questions and hopefully get direction. If what I think is true, this may be a wholesale change in the way their treatment goes.
Bottom line, I heard a lot of hope in her voice. She kept saying, "I'm so glad we came. I'm so glad we came."
Thanks for your prayers.

We'll keep praying for all of you as the struggle continues. Glad to hear some HOPE!
What a blessing that you have found a doctor who will take the time to listen and discuss things in depth! We'll be praying that things will continue to improve!
I had a couple of hours to listen to past programs while collating newsletters and stuffing them into envelopes. I had been thinking of zapping you an e-mail to ask what you do when you hit a roadblock in writing... and then you mentioned that very thing on the show. After three "back up and listen again" episodes, I finally got the title and have it on order from the library.
The story of your son being in the hospital last year brought tears to my eyes (you're not supposed to make me cry at work, you know). I've been there, too, watching my daughter walk on her own when she was unable to the week before. I need to revisit those times once in a while (although they were a nightmare while we were going through them) to remind me what a great God we serve, and how He can bring us through the tough times.
