Tim and I went to see another doctor for a second opinion concerning his back pain yesterday. I must admit we were hoping this doctor would be able to give us some quick fix...or at least some answers as to what Tim could do to ease his pain. Unfortunately, he did not offer us any hope as far as medical science goes. He actually said there was nothing he could do, or that he thought we could do to 'fix' Tim's back. It took awhile for it to sink in...especially after the look on the doctor's face was so somber, and he kept saying he was "Sorry." I was trying to maintain my composure for Tim, but it was too much to bear, and he could tell I was really disappointed. I honestly felt like I had been hit by a bus. I can't even begin to imagine what he must have been feeling since he has to live with the pain 24/7. After speaking with Tim's Grandma (Grandma Murph) and Tim's Mom, I was reminded ever so sweetly by both of them, that it is time to hand it over to God COMPLETELY. Funny how I thought I had, but obviously, had not.
Please continue to pray for Tim, but also for me to be able to be supportive and comforting to him during this time.

I'm so sorry you didn't get the medical answers you were looking for. But, you never know what's around the next corner, perhaps something new and helpful (in terms of medical science) will happen...thinking of you BOTH.
