We know there have been many prayers said for Will and our family by each of you over the past few months. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! He needs more.
Will's neurologist has been trying to get Will into Le Bonheur over the past couple weeks. Will is scheduled for VNS surgery at the end of this month (26th), but our Dr. thinks it's in our best interest to see what the neurologists, specifically Dr. Wheless, at Le Bonheur think Will needs. Patrick just spoke to Dr. Wheless' nurse, Karen. He is out of town and she didn't mention when he would be back exactly, but we do know he will be back before next week because he will be over the EMU (epilespy monitoring unit). According to Karen the EMU is full right now but there are empty beds. Depending on how busy Dr. Wheless wants to be next week will determine whether he will admit us. There are 2 other children vying for a spot in the EMU as well as Will right now. Karen said that Will is having A LOT more seizures than the other children though so that is in our favor. Dr. Wheless will let Karen know in the morning whether or not he will admit Will.
Patrick hinted around with the nurse about the possibility of just showing up at the ER with Will and what the possibility of us being admitted that way might be. She couldn't tell us to do that, but in a round-about way said not to rule it out.
We are in a major time crunch.Patrick has/will be accepting a new job with Cracker Barrel in the next few days. While the insurance with CB is comparable to what we have now, we have met Will's deductible with our current insurance. Whatever can be done for Will needs to be done by the end of the month.
Please keep praying for Will and that we will be able to get into the EMU first thing next week.
Love,
Lori
The following day, Karen called to let me know we would be admitted first thing Monday morning. I am so grateful that all the pieces fell into place right at the last minute. Thanks be to God and for all the prayers of faith that were offered.
