It's Me Again...

Hi Sonya's friends,

It's Carrie again! I talked to Sonya this afternoon, and her "for sure unless something changes" appointment for having the screws removed is July 3rd. I forgot to mention in the last update, that she is not having these screws removed because her SI joint is better. In fact, the screws are being removed because there has been little progress over the past two years. Ideally, two years after surgery, Sonya should have increased mobility and be on the road back to "normal". Instead, she has more pain and less mobility than before her surgery. So the screw-removal will bring her "Back to square one", as the doctor says it. "Square one" is as she was in Jersey Shore, PA when I met her--able to work, cook, clean, move, and even run (on occasion!) The date seems much further off now, but it will provide her family time with a work group that is coming this Sunday, and I think more time to get ready for VBS.

Please be in prayer for Sonya as she waits for her "undoing", and for Momma and Papa Baer as they will be driving her down and back to Atlanta for the surgery (especially on the way back!!)

My (Little) Friend Sonya

You can probably guess from the title that this isn't Sonya. It's Carrie! Sonya and I were roommates during the NTM training. I asked if I could update her website for her after we talked last night. She's got some new things going on, and I knew many of you would like to know also.

Sonya is tentatively scheduled for having the screws removed from her SI joint on June 19th. She's waiting to hear if it's a go.

Sonya spent 6 weeks in California in May and June receiving prolotherapy. During that time, the doctor treating her began to suspect that she may have Lyme's disease. This would explain why her body has not responded well to prolo over the past 8 years. She most likely got Lyme's as a small child.

Most importantly: WOULD YOU PRAY? Sonya has a lot of things up in the air right now, but we all know that God has them secure in His hand.
