Head Appointment Today

 Today there was really no new news. It was just the same thing Cole's head has gotten a little bigger, The Dr is wanting to do a EVT or shunt. We say no we don't want to unless we see symptoms. The Dr. says okay we can watch him for two more weeks, but if there are any symptoms you have to come in. And we say of course we will.  The only new thing is Cole will be getting another MRI in two weeks. Which Mark and I are happy about. We feel like you can measure all you want but it really doesn't tell you what is going on in his head. A MRI will. But they did warn us this time that they will be scheduling the surgery for the next day. We can cancel it if we decide that he still doesn't need the surgery.
      On the way home Mark and I read a talk by Pres. Oaks called Healing the Sick. It really helped me out with how to think about this whole thing. It says that you shouldn't be sick and ask for a blessing to be well without doing anything. You need to do your part and then ask the Lord. I feel like we have done that. I went to SF and had fetal surgery in hopes to help his brain work proper. I have prayed for him. His name on the prayer roll at the temple. I have tried my hardest to have the faith that the Lord will bless his body and it will work properly. So after you have shown forth effort then you asked the Lord for his help. So that is what we have done. Mark gave Cole a Priesthood Blessing tonight. I'm so grateful that we have this blessing in our lives. But I will also be praying. Now my prayer is that the MRI results will come back and the Drs. will feel like Cole doesn't need the surgery because of how good his brain is working. That is what I want. But at the end of my prayer I say but Lord thy will be done. Which is really hard to say! But I know it's the best thing because I know that the Lord wants the best for me and my family. So I will put my trust in him. So in two weeks when Cole has his MRI and if the results come back saying that Cole needs to have the surgery then I will feel that the Lord has told me his will.  I also pray that my faith will be strong enough to carry me for the next two weeks. This has been a growing experience for our family. Thank you for all of you love and support it really means a lot to our family.

Did I tell you that my brother and sister in law gave us this cute activity saucer. Cole loves it!
