Hearing Test #2
Kyler had his hearing test Tuesday the 9th. To our disappointment, it revealed further hearing loss that has now reached down into the vocal frequencies. Sandie sat with Kyler on her lap as he was tested. He had headphones on and was supposed to throw a block into a basket when he heard the tone. Kyler sat motionless several times while Sandie could hear the tone escaping from the headphones. Despite the results Kyler has not indicated and difficulty in hearing. Neither his teachers nor we have noticed any significant changes in his hearing during the daily run of life. Because of the further loss in hearing they will be reducing the drug in particular that is causing the most damage.
His next round of chemo is this Tuesday January 16th. Thanks for continuing to pray.
Sandie’s father, Walt, did have to undergo surgery. We were told that there was an enormous amount of blood in his head and that he would die without the operation. The operation itself was a very risky one and the family was not given a good prognosis. This prompted all the kids to come home fully expecting to be arranging a funeral very soon. Thank the Lord he made it through the surgery and the doctors are hopeful that not much additional damage was done. They will know more in time. He shoud be moving out of ICU in the next day or so to begin recovery. Your prayers for Walt were much appreciated and we would ask for your continued petition to God on his behalf.
Blessings,
Darrell

As I type this I am listening to the Natalie Merchant song "Wonder". It talks about how someone who has been gravely ill must be God's miracle, because there's no other explanation as to why their body is healing.
Praise God that Kyler has not noticed any hearing loss, although the tests say otherwise. It is my prayer that Kyler, and his grandfather, will be two of the Lord's miracles. Each time I listen to the song "Wonder", I will imagine that it is being sung about these two men in your lives.
