Great News!

Billy Boy's mental status has been upgraded from vegetative state to "minimally conscious state" or MCS. Praise God that what we have known & felt all along, has finally been determined. Hopefully this opens up more opportunities for him.

Another bit of great news, his Baclofen surgery is scheduled for January 5th. The surgery to fuse the rods to the spine is scheduled for March 28th. This decision didn't come easy, we met, talked, and debated with many specialists over this. Finally they spoke with each other and this decision was reached. I was happy for two reasons; first, his pain needs to be addressed immediately so the spasticity doesn't do more damage. Second, I want the rod surgery to be last so there is no chance of exposure or infection to the rods. I left it all in Gods hands and he took care of everything.

Monet and I have been performing in the Christmas production at church and we are having a blast! She is very excited about Christmas and this year we have fit in a few charity programs as well. Jesus is the reason for the season and no better time to pay it forward. We feel blessed and are praying you all do too!! Merry Christmas!!!
