Today we received the results of Mike's tests from last week. He and I talked last night about what we would do if once again, tests came back fine . . . . fortunately, or not, we didn't have to continue that conversation today. Mike's tests came back not so great. They showed signs of infection or possible cancer of the hypothalamus. He has to have another test to determine what is going on exactly with the hypothalamus. We are unsure of this timeline as of yet. Tests also confirmed that Mike's adrenals are not working at all. This means that the only substance his body is using is the steroids he is taking. Mike's adrenals have always been deficient, but now they are no longer working. Also off the charts is his testosterone level. Lack of testosterone makes Mike very tired and his nonworking adrenals make him all the more tired as well as feeling overall lousy - like he has the flu. He has trouble sleeping and his headaches have been intense lately. Here is how you can pray (as we are so very thankful you do):
1) pray that the steroids and testosterone work so Mike does not have to go on daily injections.
2) pray that Mike feels better and sleeps better :(:(
3) pray for the results of the upcoming tests that they may shed light on what is going on with his body.
4) pray that we continue to learn what God would have us glean from this long journey.
Blessings to you all,
Becka
