We arrived home late Friday night. Colleen's make a wish trip was to West Edmonton Mall in Canada. We did plenty of shopping at least 8 hours per day. The girls were able to swim with a sea lion named Pablo and really had a great time. We did not go outside the entire week. The mall is the third largest in the world. It was impressive. There was an inside amusement park. a water park, putt putt golfing and much more. It was a much needed vacation and we are grateful to the make a wish organization for their generosity! They did a wonderful job planning the trip and we really had a great time. We had a quiet Easter dinner at home-just the five of us. I guess I am experiencing jet lag. I have not had much energy the past few days. Len prepared most of our Easter dinner today which was really a nice change of pace.
Colleen is still having considerable pain. We have an appointment this week for a dexascan which measures the density of the bones. We also have an appointment with the ortho doctor to discuss surgical options for this osteonecrosis and an appointment on saturday for an mri of the hands because she continues to have a lot of pain there. The pain doctor recently spoke with the orthopedic doctor to discuss the amount of pain medications that Colleen is needing. There is a procedure called a core decompression which may help the pain but it involves drilling into the hips and femur and drilling out the middle and placing a metal or plastic piece in that area. Please pray for wisdom for the doctors as we continue to move forward. Colleen needs relief from this pain and we are all in need of relief from the added stress that this has caused our family. I have some pictures to post but cannot find a card reader at this time. I will try to post them sometime this week.
Happy Easter to our friends and family. The fact that Christ loved us enough to die on calvary to pay for our sins is phenomenal. We just have to accept him as our Savior and we will spend an eternity with him. Our pray for every person we know and love is that they will have a personal relationship with God and spend an eternity in heaven with him. Our God is awesome. We look forward to the day when we enter heaven's gates to spend eternity worshiping our Lord and Savior. An eternity free from suffering and full of joy.
