Day 10

Today has given me a renewed hope, and though I am exhausted from the long journey, it was well worth it. We stayed at the hotel connected to Ochsner and though the rooms were small and pricey, they were freshly remolded and comfortable. It was very convenient but I know you are not reading this for my hotel stay. The visit with Dr. Richardson was amazing and as extremely busy as his nurse was she went above and beyond to set up all the appointments I need and my surgery in the same couple of days. My tentative date to return is February 18th. This is the first time ever, since any of my doctor visits, that everybody was in-sync and most attentive to my particular needs. Please pray for a lady named Mary in Port Gibson. We stopped at a convince store there and I could tell she was in distress so I asked. She has had a headache for over a month and she cannot get it to go away. She works 2 jobs and her doctor told her she had to quit one of her jobs so please pray for Gods blessing on her. I have spent the last 2 years with hurry up and wait and to have things happening so quickly is almost overwhelming. We have to raise the money to get there somehow, then get ready for my baby brothers wedding in Alabama, then get ready for Noah's graduation and college. We took Elijah and  he was so good. Noah and Hope stayed home to go to school but when we got home this house was immaculate. Things that have been so out of placed and disheveled for so long because I could not take care of it and things I did not even know needed to be done were done in just 2 days along with their schoolwork and everything else they had to do. I have the most amazing family! I know I am so immensely blessed and I hope my words can bless you! I am so happy to take you on this journey with me.

Lots of Love
And Laughter,
