Howie and Austin are on their way home from Children's Hospital.
They met with two specialists this morning ~
She has further training beyond cardiology.
She carefully reviewed Austin's case, and spent about an hour
with Austin and Howie explaining everything thoroughly to them.
What a blessing!
As I understand it, the way forward is as follows.
Austin is to continue to take the heart medication recently re-introduced.
He is to carefully listen to his heart and to go to the ER if anything
*out of the ordinary* should happen.
Another Holter Monitor has been ordered for one month from now.
Austin's Tachycardia was detected on his most recent Holter ~
which was just read this week. Hence, the urgent appointments today at Children's.
which was just read this week. Hence, the urgent appointments today at Children's.
Unless the LORD heals our son, a pacemaker will be required.
Timing is yet to be determined.
They like to put it off until absolutely necessary ~ It's a last resort.
The goal now is to get him stabilised.
We, of course, continue to pray for healing.
But, we know the LORD's ways often are not ours.
They are better.
The following are precious verses that the LORD used
to encourage my heart this morning as
we processed the news of Austin's need for a pacemaker.
How Great and Wonderful our Heavenly Father is!!
"The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
"For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion:
in the secret of His tabernacle shall He hide me;
He shall set me up upon a rock."
"Wait on the LORD: be of good courage,
and He shall strengthen thine heart; wait, I say, on the LORD."
~ Psalm 27 verses 1, 5 and 14 ~
May the LORD encourage you this day!
With Love, Camille

Camille,
Thank you for the update. Our church family continues to pray for you all, as I do, too, of course. I love you and hope to connect very soon. What a blessing it is to have a foundation built on our Lord and Savior during these times of trial. My heart just doesn't know how those without Him manage from day to day. xo
Thank you for the update Camille, we shall continue to pray for your family!
Blessings!

Prayers come your way as you travel through this valley. God never forsakes the righteous. May you feel His hugs today. My son~about the same age as yours has leukemia, so we are traveling through a little different tunnel. I understand a mothers heart.
I will continue to pray for your precious son, as I know you are praying for mine. God is in control, hang in there my sweet friend. He is carrying you. Not for a moment has He forsaken you.
Sweet friend, my heart is heavy for you all and yet, i am so thankful that our precious Heavenly Father is sovereign over all of this and I am thankful for your response. You challenge me to hold my family and the gifts the Lord has given with an open hand. Thank y'all for fleshing out the Gospel. I know the Lord is being honored and glorified. Austin - we are praying for you and we are proud of you! To God be the glory. Love to all of you!!!
Wonderful scripture :) You all are in our families thoughts and prayers. So thankful for the peace that God gives!
Love and prayers,
Misty

Praying for Austin Camille. Having faith is an amazing and wonderful blessing in times of struggle. It sounds like you are receiving very good care.

But, we know the LORD's ways often are not ours...They are better.
It's this truth that is sustaining you and allowing your readers to build their faith with Austin's story. You are a blessing. Praying for HEALING!
Love, Heather

Continuing to pray for Austin...Our hearts go out to you! Sending much love your way :)
Lisa
Praying daily for Austin. I have lived with Tachychardia for 15 years now, mine obviously isn't as severe as Austin's is, but I know how much it wears a person out. I can just imagine how drained he is.
Those verses in from Psalm 27 are some that I have been clinging to lately, also. So powerful!
Love you, my friend, and praying for you, too!
Camille,
I too am praying for your son's healing. God does work in mysterious ways…sometimes He heals with no other means, other times He uses doctors. Praying that our Jehovah Rapha heals Austin completely without intervention. But, if not, praying for the doctor's wisdom and hands when and if he must face this surgery. Praying for God's peace for your family. I can only imagine the heartache you feel at times. But, I am so thankful that you know the One who heals hearts as well. Tell Austin he has a family praying for him in Oklahoma! Love to you all!
Dear Heather ~ How precious it is to know that God's people are praying. Thank you so much for being part of this my friend! HE is so Good to us!! Love to you!
Dear Lisa ~ Thank you my sweet friend. The LORD is truly Good. Always!
Dear Jenn ~ And now I learn something new about you!! I will be thinking of you in this regard and praying for you too my friend. Thank you for sharing a little more of your life with me. It's a blessing to know you. Thank you for praying for Austin!
Dear Jackie ~ How lovely it is to belong to the Family of our Great God! Yes, indeed...HE is able to do above what we ask or think! Thank you so much for praying my friend...you are a blessing!
Much Love to you each one!
Camille
I am so sorry for this turn of events, Camille {{hugs}} My eldest daughter was born with SVT (Supra Ventricular Tachycardia) and though not as life threatening as in Austin's situation..it was still pretty scary! God has been faithful through it all though and I know He has Austin in the Palm of His Hand too.
Thinking of you and praying for God's Peace and Assurance to fill your hearts and minds as you keep stayed in Him.
Camille, I am praying for you and your family. May God's peace rest upon you all.
Great verses indeed to cling to during this trial and waiting and hope for healing of Austin. Keep focused on the Lord and just loving each other through all this. Be strong and remember, God will never leave you nor forsake you. Have a good week in the Lord, my friend!
I am praying for you Camille, your family, and your boy. You sound like you are doing well and trusting in Him, which is so difficult and wonderful all at the same time. His ways are not our ways. But he will lead you through it all. Praying for comfort, peace, and wisdom.
Dear Julia ~ Thank you for your kind and encouraging words my friend. Yes, indeed...anything with our children and their health can be frightening...thank you for sharing some of your own history with that! What a blessing to know that you have walked a similar path and that you knew the LORD's hand upon you! HE truly is Good!
Dear Patty ~ Thank you so much my friend. What a blessing to know that you are lifting us up in prayer. God is Good!
Dear Becky ~ Thank you for reminding me of the promises that are ours in the LORD...what a blessing it is to belong to HIM! Have a wonderful week too my friend.
Dear Taylor ~ Your sweet words are a blessing to my heart...thank you! I know you have had to depend on the LORD through your own set of trials...what a blessing it is to know that you speak from experience. How Wonderful our LORD is!
Many Blessings,
Camille
Hello Camille,
I just wanted to let you know I placed your son on our prayer list at church.
We pray with you and your family as one in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Love,
Virginia
Thank you for the update as I have been continuing to pray. I hope the medicine can help him and he can avoid the pacemaker as much as possible. The one good thing is Dr's know more about the heart now then most other organs. I pray they find the right solutions for him and bring your family peace of mind.
Sending big hugs!!
Blessings,
Jill
Dear Virginia ~ Thank you so much my friend! What a sweet thing it is to know that the LORD people are praying!! We do appreciate you adding us to your prayer chain...please thank your church family for us!!
Dear Jill ~ The LORD's ways truly are best. Thank you so much for your sweet encouragement and for your friendship. I appreciate you!
With Love,
Camille
Dear Camille,
Thanks for the update.
What a blessing is it to be encouraged and rest in the Word of God. We will continue to pray for you all! Looking forward to seeing you soon. Hugs!
Love in Christ,
Sandy

Praying all is well.

Dear Sandy ~ Thank you so much for your prayers my friend! What a blessing to my heart!! Yes, our visit is coming up really quickly...we're looking forward to it too. :)
Dear Heather ~ Thank you for checking in with us my friend...you are a blessing! Austin has been gradually improving over the last week. He is still weak and must take things at a slower pace than a typical teenager, but there is improvement...we are truly thankful! I must do an update to that effect...sorry for neglecting to do it thus far. I appreciate your prayers and the prayers of all the LORD's people. He sustains and continually gives grace. What a blessing it is to know that our times are in HIS hands!!
Many Blessings and with love!
Camille
