Shunt

Elijah will have a shunt put in on August 12. I appologize the updates are few, but you can keep up better with my facebook page under the name Teresa Beck Ryan. Ask to be a friend and I will add you. My time is just very limited right now.

Getting to Work

Elijah has been doing well at his therapy visits. We start working with a teacher that comes to our house once a week that will teach him to play with his toys. We are excited about that. We have a cardiology appt coming up on the 16th and neurology on the 23rd. Keep Elijah in your prayers. The neurologist will check to see if the fluid around his brain has increased. If it has, he may need a shunt, so keep on praying! We start work on the addition on Monday, Lord willing. We have a lot of work ahead of us, but we are excited to get started!

Doing Great

We are still doing great. Elijah is improving on his vision and motor skills and his therapists are proud of his progress. Michael hurt his back so he has been out of commission a few days, but is back to work now. We are starting the process of getting ready to build the addition. If anyone has any building supplies or home furnishings they want to get rid of or sell cheaply, let us know. 662-582-5323. We have a Cardiology appt on the 16th and neurologist on the 23rd. Hopefully all will be well. I am now selling Premier Jewelry, so if you would like to host a party, give me a call! Just keep praying. We are doing all we can to make money, take care of the kids and keep everything going smoothly! Sorry it takes so long for an update. We still have dial-up!

Therapy

We had his first therapy appointment today. He did really good and they were impressed with some of the things he was doing. We have been working with him and he is making improvements. Keep praying for contiuned improvement.

Cardiology Appointment

Elijah had his Cardiology appointment today and the doctor said he was improving well and he felt he would grow out of the heart problem. He also said we can stop all of the medicine he is on! Praise the Lord!! We are excited about his progress and are grateful for God's blessings.

Update

To the ladies in Florida...if you have the money and are serious, let us know. We could travel there if the work and pay were right.
As for Elijah, we went to the Opthamologist and he said the CVI was in the better end of the spectrum. But...we may also have optical atrophy, which we are not sure what that will entail. We will know more in 6 months at his check-up.
We will be starting his therapies this coming week and are looking at someone from the school for the blind to come out to work with his vision.
Continue to pray for us on the job situation. We will be starting on the addition and have faith God will provide as He always has.
Thank you for your prayers!
