A week of mini-graduations

This week our family has three mini-graduations to celebrate!

On Tuesday, I went before my ordination committee, and they certified me "ready to receive a call," which in the Presbyterian system means that I can now actively search for ordained positions. (Should I receive a call to one such position, I would be ordained at that time, pending Presbytery approval. So I'm not ordained just yet, but I am a lot closer.)

On Wednesday, Jude had an appointment with the neurologist, who said that the ventricles in his brain were on the large end of normal and everything appeared to be draining properly, so he doesn't need to ever come back unless his head swells in the future. Praise God! We are very happy about Jude's "graduation" from the neurologist.

Then this morning, Jude had an appointment with the cardiologist, who said that everything looked fine with his heart, so he doesn't need to come back until four to six months from now. (He still needs to be monitored as long as he's on oxygen, since that can cause strain on the heart.)

So a week of mini-graduations! Cheers!
