Jerrod went to the ENT this morning and they said he does not have any permanent hearing loss. Which makes Dr. Moore believe the roar in his ears will be temporary. He said that if there had been high frequency hearing loss that may have indicated permanent damage. Great news!

The nurse told us we would be discharged from Medical Center Plano tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. We had no further rehab scheduled for today so Jerrod went to the nurses station and asked could be discharged this afternoon, They contacted the Doctor, and he agreed. So, we are busy packing up the room and getting ready to take Jerrod over to the apartment. Jerrod is so excited to get out of the hospital! We have an appointment with the neurosurgeon tomorrow morning. He will examine him again and give us the results of the last CT scan. We have a list of questions including how much longer he wants us to stay in Plano. (We anticipate being able to travel early next week.)  So many prayers have been answered and it now seems that we are only about a week away from going HOME!

Current Prayer List:
Jerrod again wants to be sure that the number one prayer is thankfulness.
That the CT Scan will show continued improvement.
That we will be cleared to travel home within a week.
We will continue to pray for his ears, sight and speech. (I do believe it is all continuing to improve)
Pray for our safety in our local travel - and our travel back to Lubbock.

And I pray for the Lord's richest blessings on each one of you.

We love you all and are eager to see you soon!
