Update, Saturday, March 26

Well…the journey continues! It really has been quite a path that we are walking down that has taken us to countless doctors, 3 CT scans, 1 angio CT scan, 3 MRI’s, 2 IVIG treatments, 1 visual nerve brain scan, 2 rounds of chemo, multiple (lost count) doses of different kinds of steroids, 51 viles of blood drawn for test and analysis, consultations and visits to leading neurologists of all kinds and this week promises to bring new opportunities of fun and excitement!

As the last few days have progressed we do seem to see some slight improvements with Grace’s condition due to (we think) that effectiveness of the last IVIG. We pray that the coming days will bring us better results. In the next week we have an appointment at Children’s to see several neurologists. We are waiting to hear from Kirkland Clinic for an appointment to have a PET Scan.

With all this we still don’t have a cause, cure or definite diagnosis of what is happening to Grace. We do however have much to be thankful for.
• A family that is incredibly supportive of one another.
• Friends that send cards, bring food, ask about Grace all around town, pray daily for healing, send emails and generally support us!
• A church and staff that displays love in an overwhelming way.
• Children’s Hospital that has an incredible staff and a team of doctors that are determined to find a cure for Grace.
• Even BCBS is pulling for sweet Grace!
• Sweet friends (and school teachers) of Grace that continue to care for her.
• Unbelievable intercessory prayers from around the country.
• God’s grace that comforts us and gives us confidence as we face the future!
How can you pray this week?
• For healing and the doctors’ wisdom as they consult with one another.
• That I (Buddy) don’t get put on a jury this week…yes I have been summoned for jury duty!
• That we make it to April 15 so Lynn will be finished with tax season!
• That Grace will stay strong and positive.

Thanks for your love and support,

Buddy
