Good news finally!!!

Ok, finally some good news. Marshall does not (at this time) need any surgery or other interventions. Here is the low down. There is a plate with a screw holding the plate over the "hole", which has healed completely, it has been 7 years on Monday!! Sometimes the screws can back out, and in this case it has a little bit and that is why he is feeling it now. Plus there are a lot of nerve endings there and he can feel it more now. The screw could come out more and if that were to happen they would go in and remove it. Also if the pain were continuous and excruciating then he would do something. As of right now we just document the pain/complaining. The doctor asked him if it hurt really bad and all that and he said no, he just knows that every now and then it would hurt and he just wasn't sure what was happening and well now he knows and we both can watch it.
I feel so much better now that we know what is going on in there! Just one less load off the camels back!!

The doctor today just looked at him and said 7 years and shook his head. He is completely amazed at how well he is doing! Seven years ago this doctor wasn't sure this child was going to make it through the night and here he is at 16 and a half years old doing pretty dang good!!

I also have two other prayer request first tomorrow we are going again to get Amelia's blood counts, we are hoping that her ANC count is raised up some so she will not have to get a shot of GCSF.
Also I would like to ask you to keep my step daughter and her husband and new born son in your prayers. Barrett was just born on Dec 30th and Brandon (dad) will be leaving to be deployed to Iraq for 400 days on Friday. These past few days have truly be an emotional one for both Tara and Brandon.This whole next year is going to be so tough on all of them. Please pray for his safety.
