Last night we attended a seminar with Dr. Reed and his team going over all the information regarding the procedure. There were about 50 people in attendance from all over the country seeking help for the same condition. From everything we learned last night, Jennifer looks like a prime candidate. We will be meeting with her surgeon at 11:00am CST this morning for him to personally examine her and review her case. Pray for wisdom and favor.

What we also learned is that the process will probably take between 4-5 weeks from now before she can receive the implant. So, we are both very encouraged and frustrated at the same time. But that’s ok because God is still working a miracle right in front of us.

We will be making some tough decisions over the next few days about whether Jennifer will stay in Dallas through this whole process or return to Wilmington as we wait. The flights to get here were pretty brutal for Jen and I’m not sure it would be healthy for her to fly back and forth. We need wisdom to know how to proceed over the next several weeks as we see God continue to unfold this amazing miracle.

Thanks again to everyone who continues to pray for Jennifer and our family. We are blessed.

Over these past 4 weeks, we have found ourselves in doctor’s offices, the emergency room and finally a 5 day stay at the luxurious Duke University Hospital under the care of a leading migraine doctor. None of these have been helpful. So, we have continued to fast, pray, believe and trust that God has a plan.

Because of the intensity of this battle, Jennifer has taken a leave of absence and has been pretty much confined to a darkened bedroom. But, our faith is still strong.

While in the hospital at Duke, I received a call from Jennifer’s mom, Kaye, in Dallas. Through a divine appointment, God connected Kaye with a prayer partner working with another one of the nation’s leading migraine experts. Dr. Reed was recently featured on an episode of the Doctors talking about a revolutionary surgical procedure that has seen miraculous results. After talking with multiple people in Dr. Reed’s office, it appears as if Jennifer may be an ideal candidate for this procedure.

So, today we find ourselves on a plane heading into uncharted territory. Our insurance is not approved yet. What we know today is that it may take another 4-5 weeks to do all the testing, insurance approvals and other arrangements before the final procedure. After meeting with doctors tonight and tomorrow, we will have a better understanding of what is in store for us.

My dad taught me to never give up. We do not play 9 inning ball games or fight 10 rounds. We play until we win. We fight until we are victorious. And we pray until we see the miracle. So, that is what we will do.

Thank you all for praying for us. Thank you for the cards, texts, emails, Facebook messages, meals, errands and encouragement. We are so grateful to be surrounded by so many family, friends and intercessors around the world. The McGees are incredibly grateful.

Stay tuned as we share more of our miraculous journey of faith, hope and healing.
