Quick Medical Update

 I don't have to much to say, but did want to get out a quick update medically and some prayer requests.  

I will start with Maddy Moo. After continuing to complain of pain in her foot, we went to the orthopedic doctor on Thursday. After more X-rays and an exam they determined that she had three fractures in her third, fourth and fifth metatarsal right below the growth plate. She was given a cast in pink with silver sparkles for the next 4 weeks. And then they will repeat x-rays and exam to determine if she needs a cast for longer. She has had several other medical issues crop up this week as well. She is having some increased GI issues as well as some "episodes" that we are trying to determine if are related to her migraines or possibly seizure related. All of this had added to pretty significant anxiety. It has been hard for all of us to reassure her that she is okay repeatedly. 

Bruce had his yearly colonoscopy on Friday. They removed one polyp. We should have pathology results back next week and hopefully they will determine that he is still in remission. 

Despite everything going on Maddy and Alex have had a blast at Summer Theater. It is so fun to watch them have fun with friends and work hard to pull together a musical on 2 weeks time! We hope some of our local friends will come see the show this coming week. Maddy was not able to horseback ride this week. She is desperately missing her time at the barn and her coaches and horses. She plans to get back to it this week with some accommodations. She is still planning to compete in her upcoming horse show. We will spend this week figuring out how to make that happen with a cast and a broken foot!

We would ask for continued prayers. Specifically for answers to what is going on with Maddy and some relief from her anxiety.
