Yes, since Claire has returned from the pilgrimage to Lourdes she has had two different shunt revision surgeries. Two days after returning from France and still feeling jet-lagged, the nuerosurgeon requested a late night MRI and surgery on Friday evening. The replacement went well, and she regained some functioning in her arms and legs, still the surgeon feared that the replacement tubing would be a temporary solution and he scheduled a follow-up surgery for yesterday May 11th. Claire is now in ICU at CHO and recovering well with more functioning returning in her arms and legs. Now that we have had a chance to breathe, and look back on the past five days, the cliche that all things happen for a reason is hard to remember in the midst of life, yet with further reflection, how very accurate and appropriate. The travel and trip was hard on Claire and I believe her doctors were concerned about the adjustments her body would have to endure, yet Claire remained stoic through all of it and enjoyed Lourdes temendously. The experience brought so much peace and understanding of God's perfect will in all things. I pray that I can say yes to God more often, especially when things are truly difficult, in order to enable me to be prepared for the blessings recieved in God's plan. God is so good in that He has so much for us to learn if we are open to His instruction.
I ask for your continued prayers and be assured of our prayers for you and your families as well.
