Walter Ruh update

An email from Walter Ruh!!!

Hello All,

I just wanted to give an update on everything pertaining to me and my family. I first want to thank you for your prayers. They have been greatly appreciated. We have needed them. We still need them daily if you can continue. My wife is stressed and is the runner after work and that takes a toll.

I went to the Neurologist today and it was good in some aspects but I did not like it in others. First, they are not going to release me to drive which will effect me going back to work. Second, they think there is a possibility that I might be leaking inside my head where the incision was and it has not healed back properly. They had me go and do a CT Scan and soon another MRI. I had to do more blood work and I will have to go back for a EEG. I am still battling at times dizziness and my balance. I sometimes do too much b/c I want to get well so fast and I guess I overdo it. Because of that I put strain on where the surgery was. That is why the CT and MRI's. Third, they think that my scalp around the scarring and the staples were may be infected. I dont know the proper wording for that but they are putting me on strong antibiotics for 10 days b/c they believe it has now gotten infected. They dont w ant me to have to get that part infected which could lead to a whole new mess. I dont know when I will be driving again but the way she talked it will be sometime.

So, now I need you to desperately add that to your prayers. Not the driving persay but that fact that I have been out of work since Oct and I have no disability from work. I have called my county and called other various organizations and I have gotten turned down. Apparently I am not bad enough or there are other reasons. We almost had our Utilities turned off this week. We were two months behind but we had some close friends at an area church that got wind of my situation from me going to the Utility company pleading with them to keep our heat on and there church paid our heat bill. That was a true blessing from above. But this is tough and I am having a tough time with it..So, I desperately thank you for your prayers.

That is all I know for now and will keep you updated as I find out more. You are free to call me or stop by or email me anytime. Love to all.
