Today Elijah had his second and hopefully final SPECT scan. This is so we can compare the blood-flow and activity in his brain before and after hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We'll let you know in a few weeks about the results.
Happily, we both kept noticing today that things didn't seem as stressful as they had three months ago for the first scan. (Thank you, Lord!) Elijah was very happy on the way to the hospital even with an empty stomach. Then he responded almost immediately to the oral medication they sedated him with. Last time, he cried and fought sleep for probably 30 minutes. Today he was asleep within 5 -- and SOUND asleep. We were laughing at how fast he went!
The other thing that has a big impact on how much stress we feel is our attitude - whether we keep a sense of humor especially! I am thankful that God helped us in so many ways today just to relax. We even had an awesome conversation with the recovery nurse about the Lord.
Praising you, Jesus, for all your blessings...for giving us a great day in a place we would rather not be. All for Your glory!

Rejoicing!!
It makes all the difference when things go so well despite the circumstances you are in. I am grateful to the Lord, too.
it is amazing to think of how many lives you've touched and how many opportunities you've been given through all this!
Hey Julie, Can you email me your mailing address. I have misplaced it.
Thanks,
