Hi everyone! I just wished my dear friend, Tom a very happy birthday today. I didn't get to see him, but I'll give him a call tomorrow. I had some erands to do today, so I was too pressed for time. I'll have some extra time tomorrow and will call him up. DO you hear that my dear friend Tom?? I know that you put others ahead of yourself. You have a wonderful family and I wish that things wouldn't be so rough at times. I've been having some problems myself. I had a severe sort throat this past Sunday. I didn't even go teach my children's church class. Thank God, I got a lady to teach the kids for me Sunday. Wanda is such a great person. She'll do what she can and not complain, just work until the job is done. She is such a joy to be around. I got the results back from my granddaughter's neuropsychologist work-up. The scores jumped around so much they doctor has no idea why. The doctor, Dr. Trevor Patton, said he's really concerned about Austin. The doctor had tears in his eys when he was taking about the results on Austin's work-up. He said that the scores he saw on her results was not what he expected. He said they jumped from about 2 yrs. old up to being a 15 (fifteen) year old. One of the scores he's seen was lower than he has ever seen. The score he's saw before was about a 56 and Austin's was a 42! He said this type of score is mostly seen in brain damaged children. He said that was the lowest he's ever seen that score, and that was with brain damaged children. He said that she can speak like she's 10 years old, but what she receives is the problem. She receives information like she was 1 yr. 9 months old child. She can speak very well, but it is what she gathers in her hearing process. So given that, we have to find a doctor that will do a sleep study with an EEG. HE wants to rule out any seizurre activites. He said that her sleep apnea could be causing her to have all these weird problems on her evaluation. I know that it all ranges from 1 yr. 9 months up to 15 years old. That is a big jump for anyone, from almost 2 to 15 yr. old. He said that he thinks it is a medical problem. He wants a complete blood work-up on her to include metobolic testing. He said if she tells us she is seeing bees, flies and such, she probable is seeing these types of things. It is scary to think she is seeing these types of things, but if she is, they need to find out the reason why. She still screams at us and throws a big tantrum when she can't get her way or wants something. I just pray that they will find out what is going on with her. Let the Lord heal her and comfort her each and every day. I know that Austin is one cute little smart girl, but she does have other issues that rally need to be takend care of. So if anyone has an extra prayer tonight and tomorrow, please pray for Austin to find out what is going on with her and let her be healed.
Thank you Lord for allowing Austin to live with us. My wonderful husband, Craig and I just love her so much. We'd do anything necesary in order for her to get well. We will continue to pray that she is healed soon and will be the strong and sweet little girl she has always been. Thank you God.
