Follow-up Appointment

5
Bryan had his follow-up appointment today with one of the neurosurgeons and the nurse practitioner that he often saw at the hospital. It went well and there was a lot discussed.

The CT scan that was scheduled for the end of May has been cancelled. The last one he had was good and since he’s had so many scans in the last month, they would like to avoid exposing Bryan to any more radiation.

Surgery to clip the second aneurysm is going to happen at the beginning of June. The exact date will be confirmed in the next few days.

Bryan’s blood pressure was checked and it was good.

With respect to medication, he is going to finish off the last three pills that he has for his neurological pain and then he will just be on the Tylenol and Advil.

Specific prayer requests:

• For rest for Bryan so he can gain strength and be as ready as possible for surgery #2
• For Bryan and Michelle and the kids as they gear up and prepare (emotionally) for surgery #2
• Thankful for all the support – emails, blog comments, meals, childcare and other practical things, etc. . . .
• Thankful to God for his faithfulness to Bryan and his family

So thankful for God's mercies and that Bryan you have been able to spend some much needed time at home with your family. I know Brianna and Zac are much more themselves now that you are home (no more crying and sad faces) May our Lord give you both the courage to go through this next trial and may our God grant complete healing and recovery.

God promises He will not give us a greater burden than we can take, and although your load seems heavy right now Bryan (& Michelle & kids), He will supply the strength needed to carry it, and see you through. Our prayers continue to be with you and your family. As you prepare yourself for the second operation, know that you are constantly being lifted up in prayer by so many.

God bless,

Brian, Sheila, Tyler & Ashley Jagt

We are so happy that things are progressing well and the family has so many supportive people behind them.

Paul and I have been praying for Bryan and the rest of the family and we are constantly reading the blog and asking questions. They are in our thoughts and prayers many times each day. The power of prayer is a wonderful thing.
