Tomorrow we will be headed to Shriner's Hospital for Daughter of Purpose to see the Neuromuscular Specialist. Apparently this doctor is very hard to get into because he's at the top of his field. He comes over to Shriners from UC Davis.
To be honest, we're not really quite sure what to expect. She has been referred to him in hopes that he will help us narrow down what has caused the decreased muscle tone in Daughter of Purpose's legs. She has definitely improved since arriving and it is not in the regions of her body that the Russian orphanage told us it was. It is only in her legs and her right is worse than her left. What we hope to learn is what is causing this and what is her long-term prognosis. A big question is whether or not there is anything that can be done to regenerate those muscles. We also need to learn if it will get worse over time. We will need to know if and what can be done for her.
Please pray for this visit. It's in the morning. We are trying to not be too hopeful so we're not discouraged, but yet at the same time--this is a big deal! God knows our daughter better than we do so we ask that you pray for God to use this doctor to show us what can be done for Daughter of Purpose. We feel like this journey for Daughter of Purpose has been fraught with doctors shrugging their shoulders because they haven't known what to do with her. We would really like some answers for once! Please don't forget Daughter of Purpose tomorrow.
1 Samuel 1:27 "I prayed for this child, and the LORD has granted me what I asked of him."
