In the Time of Trouble ~ An Update

Howie and Austin are on their way home

from Children's Hospital.

They met with two specialists this morning ~

Our cardiologist and another

cardiologist who is also an electrophysiologist.

She has further training beyond cardiology.

She carefully reviewed Austin's case,

and spent about an hour with Austin and Howie

 explaining everything thoroughly to them.

What a blessing!

As I understand it,

the way forward is as follows.

Austin is to continue to take the heart medication

recently re-introduced.

He is to carefully listen to his heart

and to go to the ER if anything 

*out of the ordinary* should happen.

Another Holter Monitor 

has been ordered for one month from now.

Austin's Tachycardia was detected on his most

recent Holter ~ which was just read this week.

Hence, the urgent appointments today at Children's.

It's a very serious turn of events.

Unless the LORD heals our son,

a pacemaker will be required.

Timing is yet to be determined.

They like to put it off until absolutely necessary ~

It's a last resort.

The goal now is to get him stabilised.

We, of course, continue to pray for healing.

But, we know the LORD's ways often are not ours.

They are better.

The following are precious verses that the LORD used

to encourage my heart this morning as

we processed the news of Austin's need for a pacemaker.

How Great and Wonderful

our Heavenly Father is!!

"The LORD is my light and my salvation;

whom shall I fear?

The LORD is the strength of my life;

of whom shall I be afraid?"

"For in the time of trouble

He shall hide me in His pavilion:

in the secret of His tabernacle

shall He hide me;

He shall set me up upon a rock."

"Wait on the LORD:

be of good courage,

and He shall strengthen thine heart;

wait, I say, on the LORD."

~ Psalm 27 verses 1, 5 and 14 ~

May the LORD encourage you this day!

With Love,
