We had a good bit of snow fall the two days prior and the drive was beautiful!
We saw so many deer along the way! A hunter's paradise! As we entered into Jackman, we saw these two deer at this house. They were actually feeding at his garage door!
On the way, we had to stop to let the pregnant lady make a pit stop! So we loaded up on a couple of A & W rootbeers! (Are you jealous Grandpa?!)
From there we entered in Jackman which is a very, very small town with no fast food shops and no major motel/grocery chains. There is one little grocery store and a couple of mom-n-pop restaurants. We stopped at Dr. Doyle's office which is part of the small one room "emergency" room, the tiny nursing home, and the town clinic. Dr. Doyle is the doctor for all of them.....and her nurse serves double duty as the school nurse as well.
We took Brenna for her physical and Dr. Doyle suggested that we draw some blood and run some tests for possible problems with diabetes, thyroid, and iron. They also are going to test for something else but I do not know what it is.....
We talked with Brenna the night before and talked about what exactly will happen if the doctor has to draw blood. We talked about the tourniquette (I think that is how it is spelled?), the test tubes, the needles, etc. She just sat there and looked at the needle and didn't even flinch when the needle went into her arm!!! The nurses were so proud that they gave her handfuls of stickers!
We waited for 20 more minutes for the results of two of the tests. She has no iron nor diabetes problems! We praise the Lord for that! We will not know about the thyroid until next week because that test needs to be sent away. Thank you to all of you who prayed for her. Please be in prayer about the thyroid test.
