Rock update and other stuff

I guess I haven't really thought about giving an update on Steve's vertigo situation until Em said, "be sure and give us an update". We were at that stinkin Dr.'s office for about 41/2 hours. Actually, it was 3 different offices. The first one was for a CT Scan of his head. The second was for them to do all kind of tests on him, to purposely throw him into vertigo and the third one was to actually talk to the Dr. about the previous results. Turns out, the CT Scan was perfectly normal, so none of the vertigo is coming from something in his brain. Thank the Lord! They found his problem by doing all those weird test which by the way he says was ABSOLUTLEY AWFUL!!!!! It's bad enough to be sick with vertigo but to do it on purpose...shew! He said he finally had to tell her after several of the tests..."I hope you got what you need cause I cannot continue this". Thankfully, she was finished.

They found the problem in his left inner ear. Those rocks/crystals are out of alignment. Here's what they told us...vertigo is actually a virus that stays in your body. That sounded really weird to me, but it's what he said. Whenever you get sick with a cold or the flu or such, your immune system gets really weak and the vertigo flares up. As for getting vertigo when your not sick, which often happens to Steve. Well, if those crystals get out of alignment because of sickness and you don't get them lined back up, turning too quickly, riding a coaster, or such can bring on the vertigo.

They gave him these crazy exercises to do that is suppose to line his "rocks" back up. He sits on the side of the couch or bed and quickly throws himself down. He has to fall into the couch/bed. It's quite funny, actually. But, he has to do this twice a day for 6 weeks and if this doesn't work they want him to have an MRI. Please do continue to pray for him to be healed of this.

So, today is the 4th!!!! I hope it doesn't rain on everyone's plans. I'm very excited to get together with my family. We are having extended family come also. Debbie's mom will be there. Les' mother and father are coming and hopefully Galen & Amy and the girls. We also invited Steve's mom and sister and family. I hope they all can make it. We will have a great time.

Oh yeah, one last thing, Morgan and I watched the Alvin and the Chipmunks movie last night. It was sooooo cute. If you haven't seen it, I recommend it. Such a good, sweet, wholesome movie.

Have a super great 4th yall!!!!!

Remember this.....we celebrate all those that have given themselves for our great country BUT do not forget the one who gave Himself for our souls....Thank you Jesus!!!!
