Round two. PHILLY HERE WE COME. #URONENAMILLION


Get the entire story start to finish here:
Beginning to end Judy's story

I have a few updates to report on today.  So I will try to keep them as brief as possible but still give you as much information as I can.  I don't want to bore you.

The first update I have is from Friday July 29 2016.

We had yet another follow up  appointment with the head and neck surgeon in Omaha. The Vist went great. Judy has been having quite a bit of discomfort in her nose since the surgery so she was looking forward to this Vist to the doctor.  She was hoping he might be able to help with some of the pain and discomfort she haveing and it has been increasing getting worse as the days go on.

During the appointment they did their normal check up.  They looked in her nose asked her some questins, and then decided to use this special Camara scope to get a closer look at things since she was in the office.

Ok folks! THIS IS WHERE I BELIEVE I MARRIED SUPERWOMAN!  I have seen them use this scope one other time, but I guess I did not pay attention the scope itself.  It was HUGE!  The stuff she sat through while they where "CHECKING HER OUT". SHOOT!!! I was asking the nurse for anastasia..   Judy sat there like a trooper.  I know they did more then just check her out, they were pulling on stuff inside there.  My eyes are watering just thinking about it right now.

She is SUPERWOMAN I tell you!

Anyways, Judy did feel alot better after her appointment, so whatever they did, it helped her to feel better. So all is well.

Next:
In my provides post I told you how Judy had sent away her entire medical history in a box to a specialist.  So We finally hear back as to what his recomandation was going to be.

The specialist's that was reviewing her history was Dr. Norbert Liebsch MD, Phd.  He is one of the leading specialist in skull based tumors out of Boston Massachusetts. DR Liebsch is very familiar with tumors such as Judy's Chordoma.

Dr. "L" as we call him amongst our selves, because we do not want to mispronounce his name when referring to him, will only review Judy's case. Once done he will then and passes it on to whomever he feels is best qualified to handle it after he reviews it.

We definitely know Dr "L" is qualified.  First off he is reviewing Judy's case on his personal time.  We knew this because we received the call from personally late one evening, with the call lasted over 45 minutes.

The second way know he was qualified, he started telling Judy step by step how things happen to her involving her health and the tumor.  It was as though he was watching a movie of Judy's life.  Right down to how she went from doctor to doctor. Dr. "L" said and they said this and told you that. It was scarry how dead It was.

So that conversation lead to Judy sending in all her records to Dr "L".  The Dr "L" Recommending our new surgen Dr Paul Gardner MD. of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania.

That leads us to today August 03, 2016.  Judy has set a date for her second surgery with Dr Gardener to do a total resection of her Chordoma in Pittsburgh pennsylvania on August 17, 2016.

We are making plans, setting reservations, working on booking flights and other needed transportation.  It looks we will need be in Pittsburgh for at least 2 weeks maybe longer depending of how her surgery goes.

So alot to do. Alot going on. Please keep Judy in your prayers. Keep our family in your thoughts.  FOLLOW OUR STORY FOLLOW OUR JOURNEY. #URONENAMILLION

For those who are Interested there has been a Gofundme account set up to help off set some of our expenses with Judy's surgery and cancer care.  I would like to let everyone know this probobly has been one of our hardest steps with Judy's medical stuff, asking for help. Why? Because we are not used to being on the receiving end of things I guess.

But then I remembered a saying I once told someone who was going through a similar situation when I was a pastor years ago. I had forgotten it and actually had to look it up so I could get the words right and the authors name correct. I believe it applies to us today. It helps me remember what I realy need to be thankful for. It also helps me to remember who I should be thanking.  Thank you everyone!
