Back in Montreal!

Tim and I arrived safely in Montreal last night around 7:30. Long day of driving, but for the most part uneventful. We have had a busy morning. LOTS of doctors and specialists to see!!! We are going to see them all together this afternoon. It is a great time to address problems and map out a plan for Tim's care. Surgery is still on for tomorrow. I have not gotten a definite time yet. We are now checked into our hospital room. So fun to see the nurses and aids again. Lots of hugs! How blessed to have staff (doctors, nurses, aids, housekeeping...) all greet us with hugs!!! People see the car in the parking lot with the Michigan plates and start looking for Tim!!!! Soooo sweet! God has blessed us with so many people to brighten our day. Love to all!!

Montreal 2013

Tim and I will leave for Montreal Monday morning. We are sooo blessed that Tim has recovered from many of his car accident injuries. It has been a long road. We are planning on seeing all of the specialists Tuesday. (PT, OT, surgeons, labs, genetic specialists,....) Lets just say I will be wearing my tennis shoes!!! The plan right now is for Tim to have surgery on his right upper arm. This is one of the bones he broke in the accident. We have had 3 surgeries on this arm in the last year. The bone is bent at about 40 degrees. It is not good. They are just not sure if there is enough stable bone to attempt reroding the arm. And, there is always risk in rodding an arm. There is a risk of losing function in the hand. Tim is currently scheduled for surgery Wed. morning at 9 am. It will be a 3 hour surgery. We covet your prayers!
My devotions have been on being refined by Jesus. One of the questions asked a goldsmith was, "How do you know that the gold is done?" The answer from the goldsmith, "When I can see my reflection in the gold." What a powerful word picture! Pray that Tim and our family can reflect Christ, our Lord and Savior, while we are being placed in the fire again! God Bless!!
