UCLA Here We Come....

Well in just shy of a week we have gotten an appointment with the immunologist at UCLA. I think it is starting to set in. It had been quite easy to almost forget that Sammy had health problems. I mean of course his allergies have always been an issue but it hardly affects us anymore. I guess the problem with his issues being internal is it fools us into thinking that there really isn't anything wrong. It first hit hard when the DR. had called on Sat evening and again on Sun saying he wants to see Sammy this Wednesday. I was ecstatic that it had taken less than a week to get him in to see some of the most amazing Dr's in our country, but on the other hand, how bad is this really that he has called us personally for the past two evenings and left his personal #. We have gone through many emotions over the past couple of days. Steve who has been such a rock has started to crack, I quite frequently find myself in a puddle of tears crying out to the Lord. He is our strength right now, but sometimes we get caught up in the circumstances. We forget just how Big our God is. Sometimes I feel as if I am drowning and just can't get away. I have found much comfort in a simple reminder... "I'm sustained oh Lord, when your love surrounds me the world goes away..." This Wednesday holds a lot of unknowns, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't scared, I do know however that whatever gets thrown our way that we won't be handling it on our own.

Please pray for Sammy.
-Pray that he will be such a good boy when they do all the tests and draw all the blood that they need to.
- Pray that it won't hurt. He is such a good boy. I truly think he does better than I do when I get my blood drawn.
- Pray that Steve and I will trust in the Lord.
- Pray for wisdom for the DR.'s and for us.
-Pray that we will get answers and that we would remember them
