Amy does not feel well enough to blog today, so the sub is blogging on her behalf. Yesterday Amy thought she saw some new spots in her left eye and felt that she was experiencing some of the same sensations that she had during her stroke, so she went to the doctor. He said that he sees no new lesions, but that doesn’t mean that she couldn’t have another stroke. He recommended that she begin steroids to reduce any retinal inflammation. Amy continues to need your prayers.

Blessings,
David

David,

We will be praying for sure and not just for Amy, but for both of you!! You are doing a great job of taking care of her, the boys, your job, etc. Susan and I could see that first hand yesterday!! We'll be praying for a special touch on Amy and strength for both of you!! In the midst of the difficulty, it was a delight to see your boys again!

David and Amy,
You will continue to be in my prayers. God has it all figured out...the hard part is just waiting to see what He has planned. (Duh, guess you know that huh?)

David and Amy,
I don't really know y'all, but I'm quite sure I remember seeing y'all some at Hobe Sound years ago. I'm Heather Bryan Dickinson (sister to Lincoln Bryan, and Laura Hausman) and my family and I are missionaries to Colombia. Since I am expecting our 4th baby and cannot attend my reg. church right now, I watch Hobe Sound's services on line. I was VERY SADDENED to hear the prayer request for Amy and her sight. I am praying for y'all during this very DIFFICULT time! Trusting God to be exactly what y'all need Him to be.

February 27 Update

By
I just called to see if Amy wanted to blog anything today, but at the moment she is talking on the phone to her wonderful friend, Deb Rose. Deb and her husband, Brian, used to live in Louisville several years ago. They were our very best friends. If I were talking to the Roses this evening, I would tell them that Amy is desperately scared. The docs have given her a very stiff dose of antibiotics, but as of this moment, her body temp is climbing once again. Her primary doctor told her he fears that this infection may be fungal in nature. I don’t completely understand all of the implications, except that we are shooting at this infection with our biggest guns, but it just keeps on coming. In her introspective manner, she shared with me today that if she had known she would lose her sight, she would have invested it more wisely in the things she read and watched: “What if I go completely blind and can’t read the Bible? I have to get more serious about memorizing.” This morning a do...

Homeschooling Curriculum Help?

By
Shannon is hosting a backwards edition of what-works-for-me Wednesday , where you can ask for advice/ or suggestions instead of giving them. Yeah! I need some advice. David and I are really praying and considering homeschooling our boys, K4 and grades 2 and 6 —beginning this fall. Can anybody recommend a curriculum, either as a whole or as a subject, that you are crazy about that doesn’t make you crazy? Secondly, if you could give one tip for “survival” what would that be?

Feb 27 Update

Amy was sleeping when I left her tonight – I have that effect on people. In this case, she really needs sleep. She was awake most of last night. I left around 10:30, shortly after the neurologist told her that nothing else has gone wrong with her eyes today. Wonderful news! Earlier this afternoon the infectious disease doctor told her that the infection has subsided to the point where she no longer needs IV infusions of antibiotics: now she can take them by mouth. Her temp has fluctuated between 99 and 100 most of the day. The docs aren’t too concerned until she hits 100.5. God is clearly helping her physically. May I give you three specific prayer requests? Amy’s blood pressure has been edging up again. One reason the docs want to check her heart is to see if she has developed a clotting abnormality, especially to make sure that she won’t be sending any clots out of her heart. She is being given blood thinner. A second request is that God would give us wisdom about choosing a...
