Not looking good for Jerome's back

Well, we just got bad news from the surgeon. According to him, Jerome is looking at a 'spinal fusion' in his lower back. We do not want to go that route because of the complications associated with the procedure. As well, the procedure sets him up for a lifetime of addtional surgeries. So, we have scheduled a followup for May 1st. I will post again then.

Jerome's MRI results also came back for his shoulders. He has some bone spurs, a tear in some tendon (sorry, I can never remember actual names) and tendonitis in his rotator cuff. Interestingly enough, he has the same thing in both shoulders. HUMMM.....so we have a second opinion scheduled for this as well on April 18th. Hopefully, this will be very minor, just some PT or something.

Thank you all for the prayers. We have gotten emails and calls just checking in. Thank you. Things are a bit rough here right now. I don't want to go into too much detail, but I have been dealing with migraines off and on for a few weeks and this last migraine is still here after 3 days. I think it is hormonal and hope for it to be gone soon. So your prayers on this would be greatly appreciated.

Please remember that prayer isn't the LEAST you can do, it is the MOST you can do. To call upon the assistance, grace and peace of our Great Savior is quite an awesome thing. Thank you. With God all things are possible. Even if they seem impossible or even if we can't even imagine them with our tiny finite minds, they are POSSIBLE. He is a great and gracious Lord, He loves His children and we hope that it is his plan to take these issues from us. However, if it is His will that we suffer thru them, we pray that He gives us the strength and peace to walk thru and be sanctified.

Please feel free to call me or Jerome to check our progress.

Love in Christ,
Lessie
