First Follow Up Appointment

Hi Friends,

Yesterday was Dad's first follow up appointment with the surgeon. He got his stitches out of the area where they drilled. Now he just has his scar, which I might add, is healing well. His hair is actually growing some, so it covers some of it up. The scar is still a 7 inch horse shoe shape. It's definitely taking some getting used to for him, but at least it's just cosmetic.

The appointment went well. They told him the headaches, low energy, fatigue and poor/blurry eye sight were all normal after such a major surgery. He also had a CAT Scan which they said looked normal. He has to go for a follow up MRI in 3-6 months. Thank you for the continued prayers. He is still getting used to being on new medications, and learning how to live with this "new" normal. We are so thankful that he is looking and feeling great, and has gotten his color back. He still has just a little bit of his black eye left, which has taken a long time to heal.

That is all for now. Thank you again for your continuted support everyone has given my family!

  1. Tiff and family,
    We continue to rejoice in Stewart's progress each and every day. Hang in there dear ones, and God will bring you all through this and what a powerful testimony He is forging through this experience in all of you.

    A special word from the prophet Zephaniah this morning is 3:17 - "The Lord your God is in your midst, the Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing." "God's love for us is always astonishing, especially when it touches us at a low ebb of life. During our darkest times, the Lord comes to us with His joy, His love, and His song." (D. McCasland) from Our Daily Bread, Aug. 29.

    Know you are all loved and being prayed for,
    Becky
