Todd has served as a missionary to Germany the last few years....he returned to Tennessee recently. I am posting this for your prayers and any interaction you want make with the Bagley family.
To our friends and family,
I am forwarding an email that LaJuanna wrote a few days ago to as many as I can on my email list. I would also ask that you forward it on to prayer groups, churches, and other prayer warriors. My MRI is scheduled for Wednesday February 14 at 2:00 p.m. Chattanooga time. Thank you so much.

Hi Friends!
Sorry this is somewhat impersonal - but I don't have much time and I need to get the word out rather quickly...
I am asking that you pray for Todd. On Dec 4th, he woke up with some vision problems in his left eye. Since that time he has basically lost all vision in the left eye. Through a series of Dr. visits, specialists, etc.... We ended up at Emory University in Atlanta Georgia last week to see a French Dr. who is one of the worlds top 2 Neurological Opthomologist! (That we even got in to see this gal was a miracle in itself!!) Anyway.... After 2 1/2 hours of intense vision testing - she basically said that she could do nothing until Todd had an MRI.
She talked with us at length about what she expects to find on the MRI. One of the four following things
1) That his optic nerve is inflamed all the way back through the brain - in which case, they don't know what causes that nor do they know how to fix it.
2)That he has had a stroke in the left eye - in which case she needs to find out why so she can begin preventative treament so it doesn't happen in the right eye.
3) There's a possibility of Multiple Sclarosis - He is exhibiting the beginning symptoms
4) That there is a brain tumor which is only affecting the left optic nerve, which is highly rare but it did happen to his grandmother which puts him in a diff. category.
I am in the process of finding financial help for us so he can get this MRI. We do not have health insurance, and we have been quoted $3400.00 as the cost for this procedure. I do have some leads so please pray about this as well.
Todd does have quite abit of pain with this. Eye pain and headaches. But more than anything it has really effected his spirit. I really need your prayers!!! It's so hard to see him suffer like this.
The Lord has given me a real peace in the past week. I just want to be able to take care of Todd and the kids the way that Todd has taken care of me in the past several years. I know that I will only be able to do this with the Lords help
I love you all and will try to keep you informed. The Dr. wants the MRI done ASAP so I'm trying to work fast!
Thanks for your prayers and thanks for being wonderful friends to me! I love you!
Love
