Heading to Houston

Mom and Dad said they heard back from MDA, and they are going to Dr. Roth's office tomorrow to meet with the RESIDENT!!! They are very disappointed in this, but once they get there, they said they are not going to leave without some answers. Please pray that they will be able to get some help, and not except the "I don't know" answer that they got last time from this same resident. I am not posting her name just in case she happens to see this blog. We need for one of Dr. Roth's associates to step up and see Dad if Dr. Roth is not available. I am sure you can hear the frustration in my typing. I am sure that I am not as frustrated as Dad is. In all this I want you all to know that we are still praising God. His plans are perfect, His ways are right. We are going to ask for more than what MDA has offered us, but no matter what the outcome, we trust the Lord. We also trust the Lord to move mountains on our behalf. We are expecting the best, and asking him to move behind the scenes to get Dad some help. He will get the glory.
Thank you for praying again, JJ

Oh yes, JJ, I hear your frustration...can you hear mine as I agree with you through this blog! So we shall all storm the throne room because we know as knee warriors this is where we must be.

Father, we know your love is deep, your love is wide and your care is constant for your sons and daughters. We know Your eyes see our every need; your ears hear even before we cry out. (Matthew 6:8)
When we run to You, we never have to wonder where you are..for Your presence is always with us. I know many are running to you right now asking that you would perform a miracle in Mike's body. We are frustrated & concerned with his follow up care. We are asking you to make available to Mike & Jan the right doctors, nurses & staff. We're asking that you would place a sense of urgency upon their hearts and minds. Father, you know who has the exact skills needed to work towards a solution in his care. Place them there tomorrow. Move others out of the way that might be hindering the correct diagnosis and care.
We know you are fully aware & in control of every detail.
We trust you...we depend on you. We are asking You to move mountains.

We pray with grateful hearts because you have given us the privilege to call you Abba Father.

Psalm 116:1-2
I love the Lord because he hears my voice and my prayer for mercy.
Because he bends down to listen,
I will pray as long as I have breath!
Love,
Sandy & Don

I second what the "Mayor" says. Get tough with the drs. at MDA and take no for an answer from them about a resident. If they are not interested then by all means contact doctors in the Harris Hospital system at HEB. I know they will get Mike to the right doctors that he needs. Prayer is great and we are all doing that, but a VERY PROACTIVE stance is needed now to get good medical intervention. I have been watching the blogs all along and have wanted to say this for so long and since the "mayor" said it I have decided not to hold back any longer. Find a good doc and tell them them to not let go of Mike until they have the answers to all the problems. Even if it means staying in or near the hospital for a while until all symptoms are resolved or at least to a point that he is safe to go back to the Ranch. Love you Mike, Jan and family. Please don't give up until you find the right doctors. Being from the medical profession, I know Mike never gave up on his patients until they were well, so Mike - go for it and get the medical help that you need!!! We want you well and back working on your Ranch.

We Love You
Billye Souder Fowler and the rest of the Souder clan I am sure is with me on this!!!

Amen! We are all one in this matter.

Praying for all of you to have strength to weather this storm. Strength and courage and the conviction that God is with you.

"Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His prayer that is at work within us, to Him be glory" in all that takes place.
