emotional day

We just returned from Denver where Amy had her 7th surgery. This one was lumbar injections that will hopefully interrupt the pain signals from her feet to her brain. The Dr said it won't help 100%, but he's hoping for 50-60% at least. We should know in a day or so if things are better. If not, we return to Denver next Tuesday to discuss our options. I think Amy was disappointed that she woke up and could still feel pain in her feet. She's anticipating an instant "feel good" procedure and it's just not happening. Before surgery the Dr told us his part today would only take 5-10 minutes. I guess Amy didn't hear that the prep & recovery would take longer because when she woke up she was really irritated to see that she'd been gone almost an hour! Needless to say, she wasn't a happy camper. I'm beginning to suspect Amy just doesn't know what "normal" is like for the rest of us. She still feels pain, therefore nothing's helping. It breaks my heart to see this drag on. I have to remind myself daily that this is all part of God's perfect plan for Amy and for all of us. We'll take it easy today...rest and recover from an emotional day. And tomorrow we'll pick ourselves up and press on. In the meantime, we'll pray for the miracle that will make Amy feel better. We'd love your prayers, too.
