Hi Everyone! We want to share more good news with you (Praise the Lord!) and thank you again for your prayers and support. Monday and Tuesday I had a lot of neuropsychological testing (as well as some Occupational, Physical, and Speech therapy evaluations). The good news is that after my results came back, it was determined that, for now, I don’t need any additional outpatient therapies. I was given some exercises at home to complete to help me build back the muscle I lost in the coma. After my second surgery I will return for another evaluation and will participate in therapy if it is determined that it’s needed at that time. We meet with my surgeon on January 25th to see how things are going and set up the arteriogram (the test I mentioned in my previous post), and from there we will schedule surgery. It is likely we won’t post a ton on the blog in the next few weeks unless something unexpected comes up. I am feeling stronger everyday, and it’s hard to imagine that I was barely strong enough to left my head off the pillow 3 weeks ago. Here are some things we would like to request prayer for:
- God’s perfect timing and will for what’s to come
- Quality sleep to promote healing. (This is slowly getting better)
- Return of feeling in my right leg and continued general healing from the surgery
- Protection from feelings of depression (common with brain injuries)
- God’s glory to shine through the situation
- Stamina and energy for Seth as he is back to work and masters classes without really having any break over the holidays. He was with me at the hospital everyday, all day until Tuesday the 3rd, and he went back to work the next day.
- God’s peace to reign in our hearts as we anticipate the next surgery instead of the “what ifs” that easily pop up in our minds.
- Any other things you feel led to pray for!
Thank you again for following this and praying and showing us you care. We will continue to update as we learn more, but hopefully there won’t me much to update on before the next surgery!
Love,
Seth and Cami
Fantastic news, Cami & Seth. Maddie has been talking about you and asked for everyone to pray for you at mass last weekend. Keep hanging in there and I know you'll get totally better!

One of your prayer requests is already being answered, the request that God's glory shine through your situation. You may not see it, but I feel certain others can.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Zook! How amazing it is to read the words that you yourself have actually written. You have been truly blessed -- that is for sure! God has ordained you to do wonderful things, as you already have and you will continue to do. Keep up the great work. And it's okay to feel blue at times, you must remember that you are only human (besides, our own Savior had His moments, too!). We will continue to pray for your healing. With love -- Mary Guernsey (and Daniel, too)
ReplyDeleteWe are so very happy for such great news! We think and pray for you daily! We miss you so much!

ReplyDeleteHey girl...I'm just so proud of you! I read over your latest blogs again and am so moved at the way God has worked in your life. It was so good to see you the other day. I literally felt that I was seeing something supernatural...a miracle. You are still Cami :) That's so amazing to see after all you've been through. Praise God! Can't say it enough. We cherish you and Seth and are so thankful to have you with us. Please don't hesitate to call for anything! I'm here :)...you know where to find me! Thanks for your testimony and strength. It's ok to feel weak, you know. That's where God fills in best. Love you!

Hi Cami!
ReplyDeleteAmber wanted me to let you know she had a very vivid dream about you. She said an angel was talking to her and said that you would be fine :) She misses seeing you!
Love,
