Almost 4 weeks of deafness now...


Jerry, Barb, Lisa, Caleb, Tom, and Valerie (Lisa's mom.)

One thing that we've been blessed with in this mess has been to see so many of our friends.
Jerry & Barb are Lisa's aunt and uncle. We enjoyed dinner with them Tuesday night.

Lisa is taking her steroid meds. Still no progress there. We fear that we may well be recommended for implant surgery on the 6th when we see the doctor. We have been so blessed by the many many of you who have emailed, called, written on our facebooks, skyped or said to us in person that you've followed Lisa's story and that you've been praying for us... Each person has been a blessing to us. We smile bewilderedly sometimes, and say "God, you are in control, and you love us..." Each time we hear from one of you. It is humbling...

We won't be doing official church visits at this time, because our reason to be on this side of the ocean is to treat Lisa's hearing as best we are able... But we do have some plans this summer to travel as far as MN,
(we may get down to Bushnell, IL as well. :-) ) So we may make it your way to see you.... Lord willing.

Other than that... No news yet on Lisa, no new improvements. Thanks for sticking with us...
We're planning to fly Hilary home for the summer. But she WILL be going back to Dakar Academy for school this fall.. Even if we may be slow getting back to Africa... Her flight is out of budget, so if you would like to give a little to help it would be greatly appreciated. :-)

Thanks for stopping by,
Tom & Lisa Seward
