Thank you Charity. I appreciate your testimony. We found out a few days ago that our four year old daughter has a rare and severe form of epilepsy with a poor prognosis. We are not sure how it is all going to play out, but in light of that situation, your words are encouraging.
As far as medical devices, I work on implants for spine fusion procedures. In the past I worked on stent grafts and related devices for aortic aneurysms. For many years I was in design, but recently moved into a role teaching other engineers how to design higher quality products faster and more efficiently. I am grateful for the opportunity to work in engineering in this field. There is a strong sense of mission in creating products that help people feel better and live longer.
I'm sorry about your daughter. The Lord is with you all. He was with me and sustained me abundantly when my wife was killed in a car accident three years ago. He's there for us. Two years before she died she learned she had spondylolysthis and was looking at the surgery options. I can't recall if a fusion implant was recommended but fusion was.
Excellent job, sharing and developing other's skills in humanitarian work.
