Crystal's condition seems to continue to regress. She is still having some pain and we are concerned with the way it has affected her walking. We talked to Dr Friedenburg yesterday and had an appointment today. He was concerned, but really had no answers as to why her body is functioning this way. He was pleased with the muscles that were treated with Botox. He felt it relaxed some of them. He gave her another medication to see if it would help. He wants to schedule her for an MRI and another Botox treatment and several other tests for some time next week.
Yes, we believe God is good, but will admit to the fact that right now we must reach out in faith to our Heavenly Father and ask Him to strengthen us.
How is Crystal coping with all of this? I will briefly share. Up to this point she seemed to cope very well; then this evening it seemed like her world came crashing in. There's so many things she wishes she could be doing. Helping Shari with her house, going with the youth, she greatly misses not being in school interacting with her students. This evening I walked into the living room and I noticed she was weeping. I put my arms on her shoulder, and soon we gathered around her as a family, we cried together and prayed with her and again ask God to help us be committed to His way and will and again ask God to bring relief and healing. Sometimes tears have a way of bringing release.
I wish to thank all our friends and family for the flowers, cards, letters. We serve a wonderful God!
And we know that all things work together for good to those that love God.
We desire your continue prayers.
Dave
