Update on Lisa - May 7th

Latest news for prayer... Feel free to share this with people we may have missed communicating with...

Hi. We have an appointment with the Cochlear Implant Surgeon... a Dr. Steve Talian
Our appointment yesterday with the ENT was: "Boy, your wife is really deaf..." And a referral to coch surgery... (There are no other viable options for her at this time...)

So called, got an appointment with this doc for next Thurs the 15th...
He was referred to us actually by a former mission pastor (David Brooks) who talked to Dr Talian at his church. (I'm not sure if it is Talian or Talia...) Anyway Dr Talia is very interested in Africa missions, has been to Kenya, and is equipping a team to go to Togo this summer sometime.. He is active in their church. He is also head of Cochlear implant surgery at university of michigan hospital... Handy guy to know right now...

Our Detroit friends, while this means we will be seeking treatment in the Ann Arbor direction, it does not mean we won't come see you at some point. :-)

****So we've entered into a sea of applications and forms and paperwork that frankly is not my forte, and blows my mind to deal with... So pray for grace and capability for me...
****Pray for Lisa of course.. The steroids did no good whatsoever... So this is the next step.
****The boys are doing well. Although 2x yesterday I heard "I wanna go back to Africa.. this was said while walking through a Meijjers store!!!"

We'll keep you posted one way or another as these developments unfold further...
