Some of you know that I (Katie) have run into some red flags as I’ve gone to different doctor’s appointments I had scheduled tightly into our short time in the US. I wanted to share the good news that I was seen by a cardiologist and there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with my heart after all and it is safe for me to be put under anesthesia for a colonscopy/endoscopy/biopsy. When an initial EKG had shown abnormalities, they cancelled the one that I had previously scheduled. Long story, but because of all this I have had to schedule a bunch more doctor’s appointments which means we will be at least a week delayed to Senegal. The procedure is now rescheduled for July 30 and then I have follow- up appts with the GI doc and my PCP. Pray for good answers and solutions to why I am so anemic and pray for the green light to fly back to Senegal on Aug 9th. School starts on Aug 14 so I’ll have to miss a week of Professional Development and prep time. This is going to be a stressful return as it is cutting it so close to the first day of school. I appreciate all of your prayers so much!
