Hello, friends.
Our day started early this morning. Mitchell left for the airport around 5:30 to catch his flight. Thankfully, he made it home safely. He plans to drive back up here sometime Thursday.
Mackenzie and I made our way over to Dr. Henderson’s office around 7:30 for the halo placement. Without going into all the details, I will tell you Mackenzie did experience much pain from this procedure. In fact, she had so much pain Dr. Henderson decided to remove the halo after about an hour. She is doing better now, but obviously it was not the Lord’s plan for Mackenzie to have a halo.
The plan is still on for Friday’s surgery. Dr. Henderson is going to call us later this afternoon to discuss the details of the procedure.
Thank you all for praying for us today.
Love,
Lisa & Mackenzie

Okay, I know why no halo - she is an angel in her own right and has a natural one God placed there and it is just too crowded for the mechanical one. May He bless you with strength right now!

I am sorry you are hurting so much Mackenzie! Thank God for a doctor that understands and cares. Praying for you!
I'm so sorry it has been so painful for you. :( I will be praying for you on Friday. WOW! I still can't believe you're having your fusion/decompression, already. It's so much in such a short time. Stay strong, my dear! With all the prayers and God watching out for you, it will work out in the end!
Love and hugs!

So sorry to hear that the halo went so poorly, but glad that you still have a plan to help you. I agree, you have so much happening so quickly. We will be praying for you that this will get you up on your feet and back to school quickly! Get it all out of the way all at once! I know that is not what most teens want to hear, but I know you want so badly to be able to start school on time. We will be praying for you. Please keep the updates coming.
We love you all,
The Napiers
Hopefully Mr. Mathis will come back with something. A surprise present perhaps? A surprise present the postal service should have sent by now... ?
Mathis Family,
We are a TCI family living in Michigan. We have been visiting Machenzie blog. We are in a similar position with Emily, our 13 year old daughter. She had TCS Nov 2006. Decompression Dec 2007 (at NY). She was headache free for 11 months. Then her EDS got worse and now has CCI/settling. She wants very badly to have fusion. We can relate to everything you have shared on the blog.
Because we too have prayed our way through this journey, we felt moved to contact you this morning.
We are currently experimenting with a custom build CTO jacket that "mimicks" fusion/ICT. We just brought it home yesterday and we will return for modification/adjustments in a few days. In just the little time we have had to play with it, we can see relief all over Emily's face. Her headache improves, she can swallow, her feet don't turn purple when standing...
We understand how desperate you are right now and have a plan and are moving forward. We will be in prayer for all of you. We are stumbling and seeking God's guidance through this, just like your family, and do not claim to have any answers. Please feel free to contact us, if you wish. (We have pictures of the custom CTO if you would like to see it).
