Hey there everyone at P.A.,
This is LuLyn, Keenan's wife. I wasn't sure where to post, so I am hoping this is the right spot. I haven't posted too much on my own. Well, the reason I am on, is that Keenan and I are most likely not going to be coming to the Tennessee classic as planned. We were really planning and looking forward to the trip, but as life goes sometimes, we have had some changes. First of all, Keenan's back is pretty bad and he really needs to have his surgery to fuse his spine. I actually haven't been sure he really could make the trip, with all the pain he has been in of late. Last night, he slipped getting out of the shower and fell really hard. I took him to the ER, because his back pain and leg spasms became severe after the fall. After alot of pain medicine(enough to snow an elephant), he finally got some relief. He checked out okay, no serious damage caused from the fall. But it has raised the concern that the trip could do more damage to his back. We saw his surgeon today, and the doctor agree's the trip wouldn't be good for him. My feeling, after alot of prayer and thought is that he needs this surgery as soon as possible. Keenan is really stubborn, ( I know that probably comes as a surprise, Ha! Ha!) and feels he needs to go on the trip because he doesn't want to let everyone down. I told him he could still mail his gifts off to everyone, and we can plan for next year. Plus, he will be feeling alot better after his surgery for next year. I believe the Lord knows what's best and it seems he is pointing us towards this surgery as soon as possible.
Also, my dad is having some very serious health issue's right now and is staying with us. I know that it would not be a good time to leave my dad, as he has some very important upcoming procedure's and we are his only family.
So, to make a long story short, I wanted to let everyone know the news, and I am hoping that Keenan's good friends here at PA will send him some encouragement on this most difficult change of plans. Blessings to everyone and thanks for your support. I look forward to next year!
