1 Year Checkup

This Wednesday we take Katie to the doctor for her one year from surgery checkup. It's hard to believe that at this time a year ago we were preparing for the drama of brain surgery. It seems trivial to me to say that, I wasn't the one having the surgery. With Katie not remembering so much about it, we'll never fully know what she went through in her mind. However, that's the blessing of it, who would want to remember all those details. Still, Sandra and I remember all that we encountered as we were there with Katie, and of course, as parents, if need be, we would do it all again for her. Meanwhile, Katie just goes on, not totally like it never happened, but knowing it's in the past and that the Lord blessed her tremendously.

Our hope is that this will be the point when we will be able to start weening Katie off the medication. She has done so well at remembering to take it, it may seem strange to her as her
regiment changes over the next couple of months. We really don't know how the changes will work yet. Nevertheless, she's ready to be done with the meds, so I'm sure she will adjust fine.

By the way, Wednesday is the day that Justin Conn will be having his surgery. He's the son of Michael's Bible teacher at school. We're hoping to stop by and visit with the Conns while we're there.

I'll give the results of Katie's checkup in the next post.
