Prayers answered...

After reviewing Amy's charts and looking at her foot, the first thing this new Dr said was, "You're so lucky you were able to avoid amputation!" We, of course, know luck had nothing to do with it! God was in perfect control the whole time we were dealing with wound issues; we're so thankful for so many prayer warriors who have been with us along the way. This Dr isn't convinced Amy has RSD after all. He'll do a lumbar injection procedure in January. The length of time between the procedure and when the pain returns will tell him what he's actually dealing with and how to proceed with treatment. He put her on two new prescriptions also. One of them should have immediate, positive results and if we don't see them within 5 days, she's to discontinue taking it. That's ok with her; she hates taking medication! But if it helps, I imagine she'll be thankful for it. Dr Brewer said his goal is to help her find her way back to the things she wants to do such as culinary school. He's conservative with treatment yet confident that he can help her find a positive quality of life. He wants her to have the chance to live a more normal life than the one she's had for the past 19 months. So now we take it one step at a time, again! Bear with us and check back for updates as we know more. Thanks!
