Update!!

Hi again,
Thought I'd give you a brief update on where we're at with everything, as far as surgeries. For the time being we are just trying to keep Selah healthy and growing strong. She hasn't had any more occurrences of pneumonia...praise God! She has had some nasal and chest congestion with a cough here lately but we're trying to treat it and prevent it from progressing further. She's staying healthy other than that and we were recently able to get the procedures completed with her ENT at UMC and the CT scan completed here at a local hospital. We collected the images and reports and mailed them to Orlando. I spoke with them on Friday and they've gotten the information and will begin reviewing it all. After they look it over they're supposed to contact us with further recommendations. So, we're just waiting and praying for God's leading and timing over it.
On another note, there were some concerns found on her CT scan that relate to her neck area and spinal cord. There's mention of abnormalities and other findings and we don't know what to make of it. Our pediatrician and we agree that it needs further review by a specialist in order to determine how significant it is and what it means. We're hoping and praying for answers and guidance as to what is going on. We don't know much about it other than what we tried to make sense of on the CT report and then what can be found on the internet. Spencer has researched it but I'm just not able to look at it. It helps him to read it all and to "prepare" for what may be going on. I, on the otherhand, get consumed with worry and feeling helpless if I look at all the online information. So, I go into the appointments "flying blind" as Spencer calls it. So, for now we're just waiting on our appointment with the pediatric neurosurgeon, which is scheduled for first part of July.
As we wait for answers and for it to all "fall into place" we're enjoying Selah and the sweet blessing she is. God continues to remind me, just as He gently did while I carried sweet Selah in my womb, He knit her together and knows all about what is going on. I try to cling to that and claim it...oh, but how quickly that slips from my heart and mind...and yet again He calls me to trust in and rest in His promises and truth....
I will update you as we know more and I will post some more pictures soon. Thank you for your continued support of the blog and more importantly Selah and our family! :)

Recently there is a song that God has continued to speak to me, almost daily, and He has been reassuring me of His faithful presence and filling me with hope each time I hear it. I pray it brings you encouragement as well...
Building 429 We Won't Be Shaken
"This world has nothing for me, this life is not my own
I know you go before me and I am not alone
This mountain rises higher, the way seems so unclear
But I know you go with me so I will never fear
I will trust in you
Whatever will come my way
Through fire or pouring rain
We won't be shaken, no we won't be shaken
Whatever tomorrow brings
Together we'll rise and sing
That we won't be shaken, no we won't be shaken
You know my every longing, you've heard my every prayer
You've held me in my weakness because you're always there
So, I stand in full surrender, it's your way and not my own
My mind is set on nothing less than you and you alone
I will not be moved
Whatever will come my way
Through fire or pouring rain
We won't be shaken, no we won't be shaken
Whatever tomorrow brings
Together we'll rise and sing
That we won't be shaken, no we won't be shaken..."

Psalm 62:1-2 "My soul finds rest in God alone; my salvation comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will never be shaken"
