Quick Update

Well, two weeks ago I had a cold which took my body about a week to work through. Mike now has had it for over a week, and if his cough does not subside, we are taking him in to be xrayed for pneumonia. The problem with adrenal insufficiency is that your body has a very compromised immune system - making it difficult to fight off any infection as well as making it easy to catch any illness. I came down with the stomach flu Thursday (think I've reached my quota for illnesses this month!) and am just starting to feel better. We have a HUGE prayer request - that Mike would not catch this. If Mike gets this, he would most likely need to be hospitalized for several reasons: 1) be given his adrenal insufficiency medicine i.v. so his body has a chance to fight off the bug and 2) be given all seizure medicine i.v. so he won't get into a bad cycle of seizing. Chances are good that he will get this, SIGH, but God is bigger. He had one night this week where he only seized once, and his partial complex seizures have decreased this week! He was unable to see the homeopathic doctor this week as they want to run tests and can only run them when he is well. If his cough is not better by Tuesday (the date the appt was rescheduled) we'll most likely have to wait until after Christmas for the appointment. Would you please please please pray, friends, for the cough to be healed and the stomach flu to stay clear of his body? Thank you! Blessings!
