UPS AND DOWNS

This has been a challenging week, once again. On the upside, we were to Cleveland on Wednesday and Scott was evalutaed for a power scooter. They said he is a perfect candidate, so they ordered one for him, as well as a hitch and power lift for the back of our vehicle. Everything should be in and ready to install in about 3-4 weeks. This will give us a lot more freedom to go places that used to be off limit for Scott due to his knee problems. So we are excited about that. On the down side, his knee has continued to worsen. We are in contact with his ortho. Dr. and are waiting a return call with an appt. The pain management Dr. wants him to have exploratory surgery to see what is going on inside the knee. Today when he got up for church, he could hardly walk. Some of that is the rain that is moving into the area, but I feel strongly that something is wrong inside the knee.
On Friday I was in Cleveland again to take Scott's uncle to the Dr. for 2 appts. and I had an aunt who was having some problems and also needed to go to Cleveland. Worked out great to be able to take everyone at once. Scott ended up staying home, as I knew it would be a really LONG day and he was just hurting so much. Didn't end up getting home until after 10 pm!!!
Prom was last night and our daughter got to go to her first one!!! :) How exciting! I had no clue the gym at our school could be transformed into a wonderland! So beautiful. The grand march was also a new experience for us! Tons of people, beautiful teens, cool cars and perfect weather, made for a great evening.
This week will bring at least one more trip to Cleveland, and one local visit to the family Dr. Piano and guitar lessons are also on schedule and at this time it looks like that's about it!
It sounds like the skateboarders should be pulling in at any time. Rain is coming and they want to hit the ramps while it's still dry!

I'm praying that God will help him with his knee pain . I'm having a lot of pain in my right knee . it's hard to do yard work and go up steps .Not a fun feeling .
God will bless you both .
My son and his family live down your way . He had an Auto Body shop in that aria but a fire took it in 2002 . He has his shop in Holmsville now and is building a second one in Wooster to be done soon . People were so helpful and good to him and his workers after the fire . I know God blessed them through it all . Thank God no one was hurt .
I Hope things get better for you and yours .

Thanks for your thoughts. We will be seeing another Dr. this Friday and are praying he has some answers. I remember the auto body shop fire. This is a wonderful area to live in and we do appreciate all our neighbors.
