Pray Pray Pray!!!

Hi friends and family!
Just a quick update on Silas and the family. We have been trying to get a hold of Stanford and the neurosurgeon that said he would do the surgery for Silas for a while now. We were growing a bit weary of not knowing what was going on or hearing back from them. This Monday God sent us a little ray of sunshine. We were able to get in touch with the neurosurgeon and he assured us that he is still waiting to hear back from Stanford about funding the surgery for Silas. We then were able to contact those who are making the decision and they said they will be working on an answer for us, and will keep us updated daily. After a few months of phone tag and feeling “in the dark” this has really lifted up our spirits. God is always at work and our faith is ever growing. Please join me in praying as they assured us a final decision about financing the surgery will come soon.
Dr Mindia also gave us some more details about the surgery that he is planning for Silas. It looks like the procedure he is planning on doing is only done in five medical facilities in the States and ten worldwide (transnasal endoscopic spine surgery/ transnasal odontoidectomy surgery)! We are working with a real expert! He thinks that there is an outstanding chance of complete lesion resection, long term brainstem decompression, with reversal of neurologic symptoms! Please pray with me, I will keep you updated on all He is doing!!!
