3 Month Evaluation

Saturday ~ June 23, 2007

Might I just stop for a minute and say...GOD IS SO FAITHFUL!!!!

On Monday we took Hunter to see his Pediatric Surgeon, Dr. Garbouhi, for the very first time. He evaluated him to see if he would need a very risky nerve surgery to repair his injured arm. The doctor was very impressed with his progress, thus far...muscle tone and resistance in his arm are great. He still does not reach for things and is very limited in his movement but for us anything is something! The doctor did all of his evaluating and said, "Well, I can confirm that he will NOT need nerve surgery. I see enough nerve regeneration to believe that he will recover on his own over time." (In a very heavy French accent!)

I ABOUT HIT THE CEILING WITH JOY!

See, the nerve surgery is very risky and has absolutely no gaurantee of working at all! They could get in there and be unable to find the nerves they are looking for or even damage nerves in the process so he comes out worse that when he went in. We were praying that this surgery would not be necessary and it's been confirmed!

There is the possibility that later on down the road he may need muscle surgeries, but those surgeries have a 95% success rate and he WILL come out better after having one of those.
We go back in 3 months for his 6 month evaluation and will know more then. We are still going to therapy 1x a week and chirpractic 2x's a week.

So, PRAISE GOD and I'll update you again soon!
