Forecast: Impending Hurricane

Hopefully, the weather has helped with your families' summer plans. It seems that the weather service is encouraging us to board up the windows and evacuate to higher ground! Whatever could that mean? Why would the Rumuly 7 need to worry about a possible hurricane and at what level is the weather service predicting it might be once it hits land? -A level two, three, or (God forbid) a four or five?

Here's an update:

1. Finally on Monday, we get a consultation from a second neurosurgeon concerning the difference in opinion between the original neurosurgeon and radiologist regarding the most recent MRI results of Cam's spinal cord and how to treat a possible second tether (click on tether)of the lumbar region and a small syrnix (click on syrnix)found in the thoracic area.

2. Tested three times, Aly's blood work shows elevated TSH levels, Thyroid, (click on thyroid) which might be resulting in her sleeping 22 hours a day, dry skin, hair falling out, and tachycardia.

3. Revealed on a recent EKG, tachycardia (click on tachycardia) is causing our Aly's heart to race at very high rates and for lengths of time that definitely affect the enjoyment of her daily life and possibly might be threatening her very life. On Monday, she will receive a Holter Monitor (click on Holter Monitor) for 48 hours for more definitive charting of heart rates and rhythms.

It's hard for the weather forecasters to predict at what level the hurricane will hit on Monday or if it will land on The Rumuly 7 at that expected time. We rely on your prayers to get through it if it does hit, no matter the level. We'll update on any damage done after the predicted land fall. Don't worry: The National Guard is on "high alert!"

And they came to Him, saying, 'Save us, Lord; we are perishing!' And He said to them 'Why are you timid, you men of little faith?' Then He arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and it became perfectly calm. And the men marveled, saying 'What kind of man is this that even the winds and the sea obey him?'"(Matt 8: 23-27)

Thanks for checking on us; we'll let you know! M&R7
