He said "Let there be light... and there was light"

The last two days have brought a little hope into our lives.

The "big wigs" in Calgary have agreed to hear our request at a meeting tomorrow. This involves coming up with a bunch of paper work, funds and support from different people and associations. So far all is almost in order. If things don't work out for Calgary (which is our doctors first choice) the chief physician here in Fort McMurray has okay us to use this hospital. It's been amazing how he agreed to back us 100% in our choice.

I had another ultrasound yesterday and things remain stable. No changes from the previous, although our little man has gain 2 ounces, he's now 13oz.

I'm feeling hopeful. Kev and I were talking and praying last night about how we want God to direct us through the opening and closing of doors. It seems that doors are opening, we now just have to trust that He will do the rest.

Many people have been dropping us emails, they are all encouraging. Please continue to pray with us. Also I've been getting may questions about if people can financially help. We will have to financially support the physicians coming from Germany, so today a trust is being set up. It will already have enough in it to cover our costs, but both Kev and I would like to continue to support research into spina bifida over the next years. When the large trial from the USA is published (within 2 years) if the results are as promising as they appear Canadian physicians will be wanting to set up clinics to offer this treatment. We would like to continue to raise support for this type of centre when the time comes. If you feel led to contribute to our baby's trust, that is where money will be used after our expenses and a donation to Dr. Kohl's research in Germany. I'll post the information later today.

Prayer is the most powerful form of support, please give this before anything else. Only under the hand of the Great Physician will research progress.

Our Love,
Melody, Kev and the baby.
