Hey Lindy! Just wanted to let you know our family has been thinking about you and Jarrett. I'm so sorry that the trip to Cincinatti wasn't all you hoped that it would be. We will continue to send our prayers your way!

Lindy
I am so sorry for all that you are going through. My heart is breaking for Jarrett right now. We are looking into the lateralization and will be seeing Dr. Cotton, September 25-27th. We are going to talk about things when we get there.

Parker saw Dr. C when he was about 9 months. He just turned 2. It's been a while. I know how frustrating it is to try to get up with Dr. Cotton. When we visited we were told about an hour for our procedure.....so we went to eat and came back to find out Parker was in recovery and all the doc's were gone!!!!! No one wanted to come see us only talk over the phone. Let's just say after I "talked" to the resident (Dr. Cotton's), she did come out. After all we didn't drive 9-10 hours for a phone conversation.

I want you to know how much I think of you guys as you are traveling the same road as we. I will say a special prayer for Jarrett tonight.

Did they cap him? Did they tell you he might not be able to speak after the surgery. I would think the swelling would play a big part in things. Did Dr. Cotton feel things went well with his surgery?

I'd love to talk with you more. If you wouldn't mind I'd love to call you.

Take Care, and know your in our thoughts.

Cory

Was hoping to catch Lindy while she was on. I see she's on right now and wanted to check on Jarrettt and see how he's doing?
