Friday, January 25th
Today, Dr. Fernandez called Darrell and told him that he concurred with Dr. LaFrentz recommendation that he see Dr. Peters in Birmingham. He thought it would be an opportunity to get the best care for his thyroid. They set up an appointment for Tuesday, January 29th at 1:00. We pray that Darrell's vocal chords are operating again by then.
I once again want to say that we are so grateful for all our family and friends. The love and concern that you have shown our family during all of Darrell's sickness has been remarkable. We are very blessed!
Our faith has really been tested, but this has turned out to be a blessing, teaching us so much about ourselves and what we are made of. It has shown us that we are totally dependent upon God (He just sometimes lets us believe that we are in charge--when in fact He's in charge of every thing of our lives). Our faith has increased immensely!
Also, we are very thankful to have found physicians like Dr. Fernandez and Dr. LaFrentz who are determined to accurately diagnose and treat this disease and get us to the best possible care.
Whatever God has in mind, whether He choses to completely heal Darrell by the time we reach Birmingham, or that Darrell must go through surgery again--this time in the hands of one of the best surgeons in America, no matter what, we will praise the Lord.
I'm reminded of so many others who have things happening in their lives that are so much worse. We know the Burgess family (from Rick & Bubba) are hurting and grieving over the loss of their little boy last weekend. I cannot fathom the pain that they feel in the loss of their son. It really puts things in perspective.
Continue to pray for Darrell that his voice will return and the vocal chords will "wake up"!
