We finally got an appointment at Baylor in Dallas, but it's just the initial consultation. The appointment is next Thursday August 30th. They will do an evaluation of Mike and schedule the surgery. The surgery should be in the next few weeks, at least that's what we're told.
Mike's tooth is still bothering him and the antibiotics and pain killers have only provided a small amount of relief. Once again, they can't do any dental work when he's on this medication so he's still having to deal with a lot of pain. Our family doctor would like him to go ahead and visit the dentist for x-rays and for any other assistance that he might be able to offer.
Mike's short-term memory isn't what it should be. He has a hard time remembering details of conversations with doctors as well as remembering to take pills. Becky has been able to help him with that though, but it's still something you can be praying about.
Some of you have asked about our little girl Mya and some of her heart issues. We took her to her second EKG earlier this week and received the results today. It appears that she also has a hole in in heart similar to Michael's. This is more common in infants, but given our family history, it's definitely a matter of concern. Mya's doctor would like for her to see a pediatric cardiologist at Cook's in Ft. Worth. We are waiting on the appointment. I'll try to keep you updated on her as well.
I hate that Mike is having to go through all this, it's so hard. I would gladly take his place. Now, with the news of Mya's condition, I wish they could trade me in for spare parts and have healthy organs. I know that the Lord is faithful and that he is in control...but it's still scary and hurts a lot sometimes.
