Another dilemma, another dose of faith

I recently posted about visiting the Metabolic Bone Disease Clinic at Children's Hospital in Columbus.  I have to say, I wondered if it would do us any good as we've learned that there are not a lot of 'treatments' for OsteoPETrosis.  You just learn to deal with what it hands you.

From that meeting, they scheduled a meeting with a new neurosurgeon at OSU.  We went to the visit and really liked the doctor.  He ordered an MRI/Catscan to get a base line for the size of the optic canals (which we had to have surgery on in the past to widen).  We received the results last week and the good news is that the canals are of good, stable size.  The bad news is that they found a 7 mm colloid cyst in the 3rd ventricle of Kaleb's brain.  This was the first meeting with a neurosurgeon that I did not attend because we thought it was a 'routine' visit, not expecting anything major.  

Since the meeting, we've scheduled a consultation with the neurosurgeon who performed the optic canal decompressions.  He is retiring on April 25 so I have to believe that God's hand is at work, getting us in to receive his opinion before he retires.

We are concerned about the cyst and await the news from the appointment on Tuesday.  Praying that God is with Kaleb during this latest trial and that the outcome is better than our expectations.
