Wow! What a few days it has been... I had to be reminded just now that it is only Wednesday, not Thursday. Whenever you are out of your own routine it seems that we loose track of all time. I guess that's OK, right?
Today has been a "easy" day as far as that goes. Scott had an consult with an ENT to go over the hearing test and an exam. Then on to get an ultrasound of his gallbladder, testicles and thyroid. After that we are free until 1:30, when we have an appointment with the Ophthalmologist.
We were able to get out last night and have dinner at Chipotle and shopping for a new pair of shoes for Scott. The "foot guy" (only because I can't remember his title) recommended New Balance shoes, they work well with the orthotics and there is a New Balance store just two Metro stops away. So off we went.
So, Mr. Scott now has the most expensive shoes that any of us have ever bought, not that I mind of course. Now, when Scott out grows them he can hand them down to his daddy (same size as his dad wears, I think).
It has been eye opening here, seeing all the kids here with very obvious illnesses. Kids in wheel chairs and walkers, one child has been here for 5 months. There is another child here with MAS this week, a girl. Her name is Sophia and she's here with her mom from Atlanta. We have been getting to know them and it is comforting to talk to some one that is on the same road that we are on. I have been praying for a opportunity to share with Joyce (Sophia's mom), I know that she is overwhelmed. Please pray that I get the right moment and the right words to say to her.
Also, please be praying for Billy, he is the boy with MAS that we have been introduced to via the internet/email. He and his mom, Catherine are traveling to Connecticut to have surgery to remove his thyroid on November 20th.
We have met so many wonderful people this week and have had very positive experiences. Praise God! Scott's nurses have been wonderful. They truly run things around here! Kudos to all you nurses out there!
I know that I have been rambling all over the place, please forgive me. But, thank you for reading and praying.

How awesome that you are letting God use you, even in this hard time. I will pray for you to be able to share when it is right...and praying for Catherine and her son
We prayed for you guys at homefellowship tonight. Take care.
We continue to pray for you all! We know that you are giving Him the glory through your experience. Just sharing your heart is sharing Jesus - I know Joyce sees that! God bless!!!!
