Big prayers!

I have been speaking to our lawyer more and more these last few weeks.  It gives me great hope that this journey is truly coming to an end.  After two years of compiling information, finding record of every single doctors appointment since JT was born, and now searching our financials for bills paid to prove we paid the bills we are almost there.  This time next week (we hope and is one of our prayers) Justin's case will be sent to a panel of doctors who will most likely be at UVA.  These doctors will review Justin's case and within two weeks they will decide their verdict.  What next? Okay, if they say YES then his case will finally go to the committee of the Virginia Birth Injury fund.  They have never said no when the panel has said yes.  So, they will then approve and the lawyer tells me things go fast from their.  We will begin to see back pay for the last 5.5 years.  We will then also receive money so that I can hire an aid and pay them.  Just in time for summer, a HUGE blessing!
If the panel disagrees and says no, the case will still move onto the committee.  The committee has been known to say yes even if the panel says no.  If they say no too, we go to court.  Because we no longer live in the area, you can imagine how stressful and time consuming this would be.  Clearly our prayer is that the panel of doctors would see Justin's case and agree with us that it was in face malpractice on the part of the OBGYN.
I am so emotional over all of this lately.  I cannot express what it will be like for us to not have to worry about where the money will come from.  We moved to TX to help our financial situation, sadly, it hasn't helped.  In NOVA we couldn't afford cost of living but at least JT's medical bills were paid for.  Here, we can afford to live and have a stunning forever home but we have to pay all of JT's needs out of pocket.  I can tell you, financially we may have been better in NOVA. Cost of living does not equal Justin's needs! I will also say, God has been SO good to us in Texas! He has provided our daily bread.  He has been there and miracles have happened.  How honored I feel to be witness to so many miracles.  It's amazing!
So where are we now? Last night my incredible hubby stayed up until 1am organizing and compiling the last bits (almost last bits) of information the lawyer needs to move forward.  We still have a lot to do in finding old statements and proof of payment, but I am prayerful the Lord will help us through that too.  Today, Jake will email the lawyer all that we have, we will see if she needs more and then the case goes to the panel.
Please pray these next two weeks for this panel.  Thank the Lord for their time, their wisdom and their dedication.  Please pray that a verdict comes back in JT's favor!
Thank you!
