Test Updates


Both boys are done with their tests. One got to sleep through his and the other wished he was sleeping.

First, Britton's doctor shared with us that the Neurologist said he was "pleased with today's MRI". We haven't seen the actual report yet, but plan on meeting with the Neurologist tomorrow to discuss further. . .but, we take the above as very encouraging.

Second, Danny has finished all of his ordination written exams now. Today was Church History and the Sacraments. He knows he passed the first and will find out tomorrow on the second, but he feels pretty good about them. If he passed them both, he will have his oral exams this coming Tuesday in Cullman (one hour north of B'ham).

Continue to keep them both in your prayers, but specifically for Britton as we praise God for his continued improvement. Several of his numbers that we are watching closely (BUN, Creatinine, and sodium) keep coming down, which is a good sign for his kidneys.

"To suppose that whatever God requireth of us that we have power of ourselves to do, is to make the cross and grace of Jesus Christ of none effect." John Owen

Go Giffen boys! I have no doubt papa will do as well as son on his tests!

We will keep you both in our prayers, as always. Love you both!

Britton just gets cuter and cuter. We'll be praying for Danny's & baby boy's tests. I'm glad for the positive feedback you've received so far. Love ya, chicky.
