Today, Tuesday was wear your shirt backwards day, tomorrow is wear red day, Thursday is crazy hair day and Friday is what do you want to be when you grow up day. I'll get some pictures of Jeremy, today you really couldn't tell his shirt was turned inside out. I'm going to get him some stuff for his hair for a whacky hair day and try to find him a doctor outfit for Friday.
This is the week I have been waiting for since we went to Shriner's earlier this month. Friday, Oct 30 @ 2:30pm we see Dr. Preston Phillips the Orthopedic surgeon who is a spine specialist, St. Francis recruited him 5 years ago, he's from Boston area. If Jeremy's surgery is done in Tulsa he will be our man. I have been able to observe him on 2 different occasions and meet him once while visiting families whose children had scoliosis surgery by him, so I'm definitely excited to see him in a clinical setting. I explained to him one evening about Jeremy and he gave me his card. It will be nice to get his opinion, see what he thinks and I'm hoping to have a better understanding of what Jeremy is going to be facing, the surgery, recovery and long term. Then Sunday after my church, my mom, Jeremy and I will load up in the car and make the 6 hour journey to St. Louis, MO for a 8:45am appointment on Monday with Dr. Keith Bridwell. St. Louis Children's kept coming up and when I researched and called for an appointment this is who I got so I feel I have to follow this lead. I may not know his opinion and or plans when we leave Monday, I know by researching he often times like to study history of the patient to come up with a plan.
Please pray, pass this along to everyone prayer list. Pray that GOD will open my ears to hear, eyes to see, heart to his plan and will for Jeremy, not mine. If it is GOD'S will for Jeremy to have surgery in Tulsa , let me know. If it's God's will for us to do this in St. Louis, let me know. If it's God's will that I need to keep looking, let me know. Pray for our Pediatrician as I will be discussing my findings with him and he will guide me in making the decision.
