Dear
Family, Friends, and Prayer Warriors:
Good evening, it’s me, Adalynn, again writing with an
update on my doctor appointment today. Our trip to Madison went very
well. I am so excited to tell you how Jesus answered our prayers!
· REQUEST:
Pray that we will be able to develop confidence and entrust my care to this new
doctor.
ANSWER: Each step of the way, from registration
and check-in to meeting the new doctor and nurse, we were put at ease and
welcomed with smiles all around.
· REQUEST:
Pray for wisdom for the doctor as I meet her for the first time and she
evaluates me.
ANSWER: The doctor came in, sat down and spent an
hour and fifteen minutes getting to know me! She was well prepared with
lots of knowledge of my situation and knew why I came to see her. Dr. Z
spent time talking to me as well as watching my movements. Praise be to
our God; Dr. Z’s appointment following mine was cancelled, leaving us plenty of
time to talk with her.
· REQUEST:
Pray that the doctor will see everything God is doing in my life and not set
limitations on what I will be able to do based on my medical diagnosis.
ANSWER: Dr. Z explained more in depth some of the
test results from the last several weeks. Although she agrees with the
fact that I have a very extensive brain injury, she was willing to spend time
getting to know me for who I am. Dr. Z said it is still too early to tell
the full impact the injury will have on my long term development. She did
state that she doesn’t rule out the opportunity for a miracle.
· REQUEST:
Pray that she will be honest with Dad and Mom on her medical findings from my
evaluation and test results.
ANSWER: My doctor talked to my parents throughout
her assessment of me. After intensive discussion, Dr. Z confirmed the
seriousness and long term impact that my brain injury will have on my growth
and development. She was honest with the fact that I have many important
areas of my brain where the cells have died due to the lack of oxygen while my
heart was not beating. These cells are not able to heal themselves or
re-grow resulting in limited physical and cognitive development. My
Creator and Great Physician is not limited by the medical findings and we ask
for continued prayer for healing beyond medical explanation.
· REQUEST:
Pray for safety as we travel to Madison, WI and that I will tolerate the trip
in the car. I do not always do well in my car seat for extended periods of
time.
ANSWER: We had safe travels both to and from
Madison. I tolerated my car seat well and slept the majority of the trip
to the clinic. Dad and Mom woke me up before we met the doctor so I had a
chance to show the doctor what I am capable of doing
while awake.
· REQUEST:
Pray that Jesus will calm Dad and Mom’s nerves and give them wisdom on the
questions to ask this new doctor.
ANSWER: Mom and Dad were so impressed with the doctor and her willingness to listen to their thoughts and concerns. She answered many questions before my parents even had a chance to ask them.

Today was a great day as I met my new doctor! Dad,
Mom and I really like Dr. Z and are excited for her to be a part of my
healthcare team. Thank you once again for the continued prayers and
support you are providing my parents, me, and our entire family.
Love,
Adalynn
