As the surgery nears I ask that each of you pray specifically for Dr. Hoh and that God guide his hands. Also, please pray for Cortney and the kids. The kids will be taken care of by many incredible church friends during our stay in Gainesville, but they will miss their mommy and daddy and be confused and out of their normal routine. Also, Cortney will have my mom and brother with him in the hospital on Monday and during surgery on Tuesday. However, if all goes well, they will drive back to Vero on Wednesday, leaving Cortney in the hospital alone. They must come back to Vero to help provide for the kids. Please pray special strength for Cortney! Thanks to all who have provided words of comfort and encouragement. Many have asked how to help and my response would be to go to the Lord on my behalf and my families behalf! He is able!
By the way: I have not had a headache (that particular type) since the day I visited my doctor and he ordered the CT scan!!! God speaks!!!!!

May 7, I visited Vero Radiology and had a CT Scan with contrast performed. As the days passed, so did my anxiety, thinking no news is good news. By 5 pm Friday I had not heard from the doctor, so I was very relieved. May 9 at 6:30pm I receieved the call that ultimately has changed my life and my view of life. This call was informing of a 5mm aneurysm found on my right Middle Cerebral Artery (MCA). I was told to have as good a weekend as possible and I would be referred to a local neurosurgeon on Monday. What a way to start Mother's Day weekend. I can assure you it was a weekend filled with much prayer and God has been with me each step.

May 5, I began like every morning the previous month, with a very bad headache. However, this morning was different and God spoke to me encouraging me to see my medical doctor. He had been speaking quite some time, I just wasn't listening :) I made an appointment for 11:30am and upon arrival discussed my headaches and requested meds for a "sinus headache." Thankfully, my doctor refused and insisted that I have a CT scan to rule out any problems. He stated "I am 99% positive we will find nothing but lets make sure." The procedure was scheduled for two days later.
