UPDATE on Son
Today I was able to call the pediatric cardiologist that we were referred to in order to make an appointment for my son. The first available appointment they had was February 1st. FEBRUARY 1ST!!! What?? This is my 9 year old and his doctor said his heart had a problem and he can’t play sports. It sounds too serious to me and scares me to wait that long…I explained to the poor receptionist. She assured me that the doctor would go over all of my son’s information and they would call me to get me in sooner if he thought it was necessary. So, I went back to work and tried to keep my mind off of it. Then my phone rang and about gave me a heart attack since the number was the same as the doctor’s I had just called. I couldn’t answer because I was teaching, but they left me a message. They said that the doctor reviewed my son’s information and he would be okay to wait until the 1st to be seen. I guess that should be good news, but it sure left me unsettled.
I appreciate all my prayer warriors, GOD IS GOOD!! And he answered my prayer…later this afternoon I got another phone call from the doctor’s office to tell me that they had two cancellations and that they could see my son Monday or Tuesday afternoon. We took the Tuesday appointment since it’s an early day for the kids and my husband has a game on Monday. What is one day when I get a week that I didn’t have earlier?
So, we were told we still have to honor the pediatrician’s recommendations to abstain from athletic activities until we are cleared by the cardiologist. Otherwise, he should be okay until his appointment on Tuesday.
Please keep your prayers going. GOD IS LISTENING and I know he has a plan for my son and our family. I pray the plan is to see that all our faith can’t be in medicine and must be in him and there be NOTHING at all wrong. A mom can pray ya know! AND I PLAN ON DOING MORE OF IT!! And I hope you will too!
