Just a reminder before tomorrow.  Hope to see you all there. 

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok Class,  It is really not that hard, but you can get turned around toward the end.  Take Hwy 411 toward Fairmount and follow below.  Chris and Marci are providing the Bar B Que and trimmings, just bring your favorite drink.  Not required but if you want to bring a desert to share that is fine too.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Highway 411 North until you hit the Bartow-Gordon County line.

 

Once you cross the line go ½ mile to right on Irwin Mill Rd. ( There used to be a road sign but as of today it is not there.)

 

Go 2 miles to left on Sulphur Springs Rd-there is a road sign.

 

Follow that road until the pavement ends and road splits-turn left onto dirt gravel road

 

We are 2nd drive on the right--214. It is the only blacktop drive. Do not pay attention to mailbox numbers cause they will only confuse you.

 

Hope to see y'all there!!

Proverbs 3

*1*
My son, do not forget my teaching,
But let your heart keep my commandments;

*2*
For length of days and years of life
And peace they will add to you.

*3*
Do not let kindness and truth leave you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart.

*4*
So you will find favor and good repute
In the sight of God and man.

*5*
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.

*6*
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.

*7*
Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

*8*
It will be healing to your body
And refreshment to your bones.

*9*
Honor the Lord from your wealth
And from the first of all your produce;

*10*
So your barns will be filled with plenty
And your vats will overflow with new wine.

*11*
My son, do not reject the discipline of the Lord
Or loathe His reproof,
*12*
For whom the Lord loves He reproves,
Even as a father * corrects * the son in whom he delights.

One more for today - Prayer Request

From Carol Crow,

Pray for Tommy's oldest sister, Rachel Hulsey.  She had a heart attack over the weekend and they're still running tests.  She's 76 years old.

-Carol Crow

2 Prayer Requests for our class to pray for today


Autumn Barrett has requested prayer for her mom.
Her mom, Sue Goodwin, will be having surgery Thursday, Oct 21 at 11 AM
at Emory-Jones Creek.  She has a bone spur in her neck and the doctors
are going to remove the whole vertebra.


Joe Worthington's sister (Jan Mae) has been diagnosed with 2 types of
breast cancer. They have 3 children and will more than likely be
traveling to Atlanta for treatment in the coming weeks. I spoke with Joe
this morning and he told me his mom who is 80 is just getting over her
treatment for breast cancer as well.

Update on Luke today 10/19/2010

Well today was very stressful, but before I give everyone an update, Regina, Luke and I would like to thank everyone for your prayers and concern and continue to ask for them.

OK, here goes.

We went to Emory today for our first visit there.  Meet his new doctor. (we all really like her).  Basically she took a detailed history, etc.... and made the determination for Luke to go on meds at least for about a yr, maybe a little longer.  She stopped short of really giving a diagnosis of Epilepsy this morning, but said he does meet the clinical definition.  She believe his seizures could be related to his premature birth, but she can't really say for sure. Too long to explain why here, but basically, there is belief on premature children that the brain is not fully developed and it tends to hard wire itself differently than if allowed to develop in the womb.  That is a self defense mechanisms built into the brain to help it grow in the event of an early birth.... Anyway, as he reaches adulthood, sometimes those connections may become disassociated, etc.... hence he has the seizures... when his brain has a chance to totally relax.  (Both of his seizures where during the first 15 or so minutes of a nap.)

So, we left Emory with an Rx for meds and an appointment next Monday for a 24 hr EEG.

We came home after eating some lunch near Emory.  Luke was going to head back to school, but take a short nap first.  He was on the sofa for about 15 mins, feel asleep and had another tonic-clonic (Grand-Mal) seizure.  This one was pretty bad.  Kinda in between his 1st one and the 2nd one.  We did the 911 thing.  The Neurologist wanted him to go to C'ville Medical to be checked out to be sure he was ok.  

She modified the meds she originally prescribed as the 1st Rx was going to take about 6 weeks to totally get in his system.  He will be taking 2 meds for 6 weeks.  The first one she prescribed and the second one also.  She is very concerned with him having another one, hence the addition of another med. that will act faster until the 1st one can get in his system.

We are at home and none the less, pretty stressed out but really trying hard to leave this to God to handle but still be the parent and caregiver.

He seems fine but his head is really hurting as he landed on his head as he feel off the sofa.   Everything checked out at the hospital so we are hoping for no concussion.

We will still be doing the 24 hr EEG next week.  All his labs and test appear perfectly normal, but the brain is still a very mysterious thing.  God created a marvelous thing with the brain and we really still don't know much about it.

We are totally trusting in the God, but to be perfectly honest, we are pretty stressed at this point.  Not complaining but just being real with you guys.

Please PRAY for Luke that his seizures will stop and the meds will work.  There are side effects to both meds.  We are hoping and praying the first meds chosen do the job with no side effects.

Thank you so much for your prayers.  We really do appreciate them and Luke does as well.

God Bless

Lee, Regina and Luke
