As you have already read, my spasticity affects my left leg and left hand. I’ve noticed that the improvement is more noticeable in my left leg than in my left hand. There’s a reason for this and it’s because of simple physics. The specific gravity of Baclofen is greater than the specific gravity of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). This causes intrathecal Baclofen to “settle” in the lower CSF space, rather than it being evenly distributed throughout all of the CSF that surrounds my spinal cord. Because of this “settling”, intrathecal Baclofen works better for the lower extremities than it does for the upper extremities. This doesn’t mean that Baclofen does not help relax muscle spasticity in upper extremities; the benefits are just more noticeable in the lower extremities. I developed this little specific gravity theory during my research prior to the surgical implantation of my intrathecal Baclofen pump and knew this was a possibility. Now, I can tell you it is for real—my leg is winning the “less spasticity” race. I think it’s cool how we can’t escape physics, although, it would be nice if I could escape it this time.

Frances Gay received a wonderful health report yesterday!  I’m so glad she called with the results before she left Hammond.  God is good!

Mr. James Miller went to St. Tammany again and began the treatment that was scheduled for December 4th.  Keep him high on your list.

Operation Christmas Child report from Mary Alice Fox (Gastonia, N.C.)

Greetings from NC.  Hope you are doing well and are looking forward to a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I have followed with interest your Operation Christmas Child activities and thought you would like to hear what we are doing here.
Our church serves as a relay station for churches in 3 counties.  Frank and I have worked there during collection week since we retired – he longer than I since he retired earlier.  When I walked in Monday I was amazed at the number of boxes – never seen that many there that early.  It seems that when they were setting up the building Sunday they received almost 800 boxes and they weren’t even open for collection.  Across the course of Monday – our first day – we packed 1416 shoeboxes into cartons to be shipped to Charlotte.  That was a record number.  So I thought Tuesdaywould be slow.  Not so.  1463 boxes came in that day.  We stayed busy all day – so much for a slow day.  I didn’t work again until today which is the final day.  Don’t have a count but for the first time ever we had to have a 5th cargo trailer to carry all the boxes.  We average 25,000 boxes when you include those that were boxed when they came to us from other relay stations.  We are certain that we did better this year so there was much excitement at the end of the day.
Happy Thanksgiving.

Today at 11:00  – “Young” Ladies’ Birthday Party at The Cafe in Kentwood

There will be NO Bible Study this week due to the holiday.

Some churches are not having prayer meeting Wednesday.  Check with your local church.

We will be collecting stamps to affix to Christmas cards donated by Miss Fay Shoemaker which are being sent to prisoners at the parish jail.  This will enable them to write to family members this Christmas season.  The deadline is Sunday, November 29th.

 

 

Today’s devotional will be different.

Joey and Rory – http://thislifeilive.com/enough/ (written about a month ago)

Think on that word “Enough”.  To say it means so much.  It means “Peace”!

“It is Well with My Soul” can only come with God’s peace.

http://tasteofcountry.com/joey-feek-it-is-well-with-my-soul/ (Watch the video.)

Now, is a good time to make your list of what you are thankful for this year.  I doubt new cars, houses, boat, jobs, etc. will be on your list after you read and watch these links.

Song of the Day – “When Peace Like a River” 

 

Thankfulness: Day 24 – Peace in my soul

 

I trust you can also say you have that peace.  If not, seek a person who can help you reach that point.

Wednesday

The LORD is slow to anger and great in power;

the LORD will not leave the guilty unpunished.

His way is in the whirlwind and the storm,

and clouds are the dust of his feet.

I’m thanking God for watching over all of us last night.  The weather got bad as that big wind hit about 11:00, but the reports I have heard are only of minor damage.

Please continue to pray for all the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes that are being collected around the world this week.  Our shoeboxes were turned in at Franklinton.  A member of that church said they packed 700 shoeboxes this year!  I know God will bless each of the 700 children who receive one of those shoeboxes.

In my Father’s house are many rooms;

You know the way to the place where I am going.”

The Lottie Moon Christmas Tea was wonderful yesterday.  Thanks to all who attended and to all who worked so hard for the event.  There were a hundred ladies of all ages present.  I’m already taking notes on what we can do next year.

 

Operation Christmas Child

Today, many of us will be delivering our shoeboxes to the collection sites.  With great joy, our boxes will be delivered to FBC, Franklinton.  Boxes will be collected all week at each site.  Before long, they will be in the hands of children.  In each box, we will also be sending “Jesus”.

From Operation Christmas Child:

Here’s one example why including a soccer ball in a shoebox is a GREAT idea…

Allow us to introduce you to “The Greatest Journey” football team in the Island of Ukara. This team is very interesting because one boy got a soccer ball in his shoebox gift. When the children were invited back to the church to start The Greatest Journey follow-up discipleship course, they started playing ball when they would finish their lessons. Then they invited other boys who were not saved to join their team. As they played together, the TGJ students shared about Jesus with them. 30 children received Christ as a result of this! Now they have formed one big team from all the Ukara Churches who participate in TGJ. The whole community is praising God for The Greatest Journey because it has brought a big impact in the lives of the children with great love and unity. Even non-Christian families are now allowing their children to come to the church and through this the gospel is being preached not only to children, but to the families as well – and it all started with a soccer ball in a shoebox gift!

The Third Thursday gathering at the cabin is this week at 6:30.  You are invited to participate.

 

Missions Project: We provide Christmas cards for inmates of the St. Helena and Tangipahoa parish jails each year so they can write to family members.  I need your cards by Sunday, November 29th in order to deliver them.  You may choose to do the delivering yourself.  You can help in several ways:

  • Stamped Christmas cards
  • Stamps for Christmas cards I have
  • Money for stamps ($10.00 per book of stamps)

Thankfulness: Day 16

Preparation is a good thing!  I learned that in teaching, cooking, cleaning, gatherings, meetings, etc.  As good as preparation in or daily lives is, it is much greater when it   comes to preparing for eternity.  I’m thankful my immediate  family is ready to face eternity, but continue to pray for some of the members of my extended family.  Is your family “Ready”?  How about your friends, neighbors, and those you do not know, but who live all around you or even far away?  Be prepared to “Pray, Give, Go, and Send”!

Jesse Dean should be able to come home today.  Pray for his continued recovery at home.

Dan Turner’s Update

I’m at 26-28 hours since my last dosage-change and can tell a pretty dramatic difference in the spasticity of my left leg. Not as much improvement is noted in my left hand, but it’s a little better too. My left leg feels so odd, not being tight all day. It actually feels like someone else’s leg has been put in the place of mine—I know, that’s weird. If things stay on this trajectory, I plan to start working out my legs in 4-5 days. I’m just giving myself a few days to adjust to the relaxation of my muscles. What a welcome feeling of progress to be thinking and planning my lower-body workout!

Lottis Moon Christmas Tea

Thanks to the following ladies for working yesterday to get ready for the tea: Theople Hurst, Judy Liberto, Velma Anthony, Eleanor Morris, Sue Connelly, Virginia McKenzie, Margaret Olliver, Sharon Martin, Linda Frazier, and Bessie Hayden.  The room looks very nice.

Now, let us pray for a room full of people tomorrow.  I know that God will send those He wants to be there.  Let’t pray heart will be receptive to all that is shared there.

Don’t forget to being Christmas cards with stamps or a book(s) of stamps that can be used with some cards that have already been shared.  If you need more time, you have until Sunday, November 29th to get them turned in.

Thankfulness: Day 14

Today, I’m thankful for growing up in a Christian home.  What a difference that made my whole life.  I’m also thankful for other Christian homes and the guidance they provide to many of you.  Let’s pray for more and more homes to be providers of the Christian guidance children need and deserve.

 

I think it is unspoken today, but let’s pray for the people of Paris.  Let’s pray that more people will learn what happened “At the Cross” and understand the significance to our lives both today and in the future.

Friday

For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness

Miles Hatchel has a splint on his broken wrist and will get a cast Monday.  The next day, the younger brother, Mason, sprained his right arm/wrist (?) and also has a splint.  That makes three of my six grandchildren injured is a week and a half.  Please pray for healing for all.

Mose Guzzardo, Amite, will have a complete shoulder replacement today in Baton Rouge.  Pray for him during the surgery time, but also during the long recovery he is facing.

Mr. James Miller will be going to St. Tammany today.  Pray for him and “Miss” Mary.

Continue to pray for Jesse Dean following his surgery.

Dan Turner’s latest update:  

Well, my last 20% dosage increase on 11/2/15 did not yield any improvement. I wasn’t any better; however, I wasn’t any worse, either.

Today (11/12/15), I had another appointment. The good news: although, subjectively, I have felt no improvement over the last 10 days and the objective data gathered while testing my H and M reflexes, today, also showed no improvement from 10 days ago, the subjective assessment by my nurse practitioner (NP) revealed improvement in my deep tendon reflexes (DTRs) and improvement in the abnormal propensity for my left foot to invert or turn inward. My DTRs have been abnormally hyper-reflexive until now. Today, my DTRs of both legs were normal and equal—that was encouraging to hear, for sure.

I will return on 11/30/15 to repeat the process. So, I have 18 days of tracking progress before going back.

I’m getting close to finding my “magic dose,” but still need a little more tweaking. My dosage is now at 289 mcg/day after the 20% increase today. The researchers and my NP are confident that we will find it. As you know, the act of breathing is possible because of the accessory muscles of the rib cage and the muscle, known as the diaphragm—breathing muscles can be affected by Baclofen just like the muscles in my left leg and arm. So we don’t want to overdo it. But laughingly, the researcher, Tony, said that knowing they could give me enough Baclofen to make me stop breathing, he felt sure they were going to be able to relax the remaining spasticity in my left arm and left leg. I thought that was a funny way to inspire confidence, but it worked!

Also, after talking to Tony today, I think I have a shot at winning the award for the most resilient H & M Reflexes ever seen at Mississippi Methodist Rehabilitation Center. I’m not real sure that I want that award.

Thanks for reading and God bless you all.

Update on Connor Corkern

My dear friends, if everything goes smoothly with Connor tonight (which we expect it will) he will have his ventilator extubated in the morning.

We need your prayers…
•Please pray with Coye and I that this time around Connor’s lungs will be ready and strong.
•Please pray that his secretions will be thin enough for him to cough up.
•Please pray that his body can maintain the energy it requires to breathe easily when awake and sleeping.
•Please pray that God’s grace surrounds us as we watch and wait to see if Connor’s extubation will be successful.
•Please pray that if Connor’s extubation fails that we will be guided in the direction that God leads us to and have peace with whatever may come in order for Connor to breathe easier.
•Please pray for his doctors, nurses, and therapists that have taken exceptional care of him, and will continue to do so.

We know our Heavenly Father hears our prayers as he has shown us His mercy for the past 3 weeks over and over again.

 

Mrs. Flo Hatcher‘s new medication for nausea has worked for five days!  That has made a big difference for her, the family, and caregivers.

We have collected 77% of the goal that we set for out church.  Personally, I never would have been pleased with 77%.  I trust we will meet this goal now that the shoeboxes are filled and shipping collected.  Our church asks a lot, but the mission-minded people in our church have big hearts and a giving/sharing spirit.

David Wickham (From Cissy, his wife)

Update on David
Day 18 in ICU: they removed the bladder catheter, stomach catheter and staples yesterday.  He sat up in the chair a total of 12 hours.  He sat 8 hours, then took a break and then sat up again for four hours.  He does have increased pain from some sutures that became infected.  They will be using the wound vac today. He is still retaining a lot of fluid which prevents him from bring weaned from the oxygen to a level that will allow him to
Leave ICU.  He is at the point where he needs to push himself to be more mobile and do the exercises past his comfort level.  He had his 1st meal  today- vegetable broth, Apple juice and orange jello.  All of his favorites 😊. I was proud of him – he managed to force it down.  Thank you for your continued support to us. We appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

Mrs. Anne Hurst is in room 10 at the St. Helena Hospital.  I know she would love to hear from/see you.  Keep her in your prayers.

Mansell Stinson went back for a check-up yesterday.  James Rimes, who took him, said that for the first time, Mansell seems to be “pain-free”!  Let’s pray he can stay that way.

Kenny Ray Gill went in for double knee replacement, but did not have surgery because he had some sort of an insect bite.  So, surgery will be rescheduled for a later time.

Lisa Pitri received a wonderful report and will not need additional treatments, only periodic check-ups for now.

Bob Brooks who was hospitalized briefly is now home.  Please keep him in your prayers.

Connor Corkern is still at Children’s Hospital in New Orleans, but is improving.  If he continues to do well, he will be coming back to Kentwood soon.

Lisa W. Carruth is in Baton Rouge for a procedure today.  Please keep her and her family in your prayers.

Continue to pray for Mrs. Hazel Smith.  She is at home.

Continue to pray for Barbara Hurchinson.  She has a few more days of rehab/physical therapy in Hammond before coming back to Kentwood.
