Travis and a New Doctor (:

My heart has been extra heavy for Travis

over the last couple of weeks. 

His daily struggles and his (actually OUR)

longing for his recovery to speed up

sometimes overwhelms me. 

I catch myself wanting to scream

WHY? WHY? WHY?

Even worse than that, I hear him

ask and wonder why? 

That.breaks.my.Heart.

 

If only Travis knew how much his family

wonders the same and wishes

all of this away for him.

Life can be really hard for some people. 

 

Thankfully, upon the suggestion of

his Hillcrest speech therapists after

a not so great swallow study,

Lynna took him to see an ENT Doctor.

The doctor goes to my church and I

happen to know him.  He's a wonderful

Christian man and has himself

beat cancer.  Lynna felt like the doctor

was really positive and willing to

try some things.  He is actually

the first medical doctor willing

to try anything.  We are SO thankful

and cautiously optimistic!

 

On Thursday, October 10th, this

doctor will dilate Trav's esophagus

and also use Botox on a muscle

that is not working properly. 

Please, please pray this helps Travis!!!

How incredible would another miracle be?

If it be in God's will.....

oh how amazing that would be!

 

He said to them, “Because of your little faith.

For truly, I say to you, if you have faith

like a grain of mustard seed,

you will say to this mountain,

‘Move from here to there,’

and it will move, and

nothing will be impossible for you.”

Matthew 17:20

The other day while we were at Baylor

for speech, Hudson and I were taking

a walk and we stopped by a fountain

to make wishes and throw in our pennies. 

I asked Hudson what he wished for,

and he said, "For Twavis to walk."

 

God bless my little Hudson's heart

and his love and his compassion

forming at such a sweet, precious age. 

It's moments like these that I know

without a doubt that God is near......

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

Psalm 34:18
