Please keep praying!!!

Below is an update from my son Scott.  He has been through so much.  Please continue to pray for him and his family.  He is an awesome son and God has richly blessed me with such a wonderful family.  It is hard when one of them hurts or is in pain.  God knows our needs, though and we know that He cares for us and is able to heal.

Another night of sleeplessness, but I am feeling so much better than I did earlier this week. The awesome amount of encouragement and calls of concern, have lifted my spirits greatly. I know that my disease is bad, and I understand that I am a very ill person, but God is going to see me through all of this through the Love of my Family and Friends. I am truely Blessed to have all of you. I will be fine, without a doubt. I start the meds on November 8th and should be feeling much better by Thanksgiving. My Immune system will take a few months to get back to somewhat of a norm and the rash can take as much as 6 months to clear totally up. The main thing for now is to get these infections I now have wiped out. My biggest fight will be to keep from getting pnuemonia, but one of the Anti-viral meds they gave me is supposed to help that and I also got the pnuemonia and Flu shots.

I am excited for Michael and Paula-Beth as they are about to experience the greatest gift God gives us other than His gift of Salvation, and that is a precious baby Girl. Michael, I hope she looks like her Mom not you, lol, just kidding, I know she will be the most beautiful baby on earth to you. Cherish every moment you have with her and always let her know how proud you are of her and how much you love her and she will grow into an awesome young lady. Don't take for granted her and Paula-Beth at any time and they will always be there for you. That is what I have tried to do with my family, and they are here for me strong when I need them the most. God Blesses strong men, that have loving tender hearts for their families.

Thank all of you that have been praying for me. I guess I had better get some sleep.

I am still here!!!!

It has been a while,  I wish I could say that my son is well and they found out what his problem is, but I can't.  Below is an update from his site.  Please continue to pray for him.

Morning, very early

Again I am up in the middle of the night, not able to sleep. I have a meeting tomorrow that I am nervous about and I am sure that is one of the reasons. Also, waiting on test results always get me down. Of  course I am coming off the Steriods slowly and that does not help at all.

Well, not alot to say, maybe more soon. Pray for me, I need peace about this illness, and I do not have it. I know God will give it to me, but I am impatient.

Scott

Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

 1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
       he leads me beside quiet waters,

 3 he restores my soul.
       He guides me in paths of righteousness
       for his name's sake.

 4 Even though I walk
       through the darlest valley, 
       I will fear no evil,
       for you are with me;
       your rod and your staff,
       they comfort me.

 5 You prepare a table before me
       in the presence of my enemies.
       You anoint my head with oil;
       my cup overflows.

 6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
       all the days of my life,
       and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
       forever.

More waiting

Well, back to more tests and more waiting. Please keep praying for them.Joan

 

I just got back from the Rheumatologist, and truthfully am frustrated. He totally disagrees with the Dermatologist on the Diagnosis and thinks we are missing something. He said the Rash I have is the wrong type rash for the other Diagnosis. He is basically questioning if the Oncologist missed something. So I am getting them together to discuss all this through my regular Doctor. He did though start me on low dose of Prednisone. which is a steroid. That should at least relieve some of the Rash discomfort. I won't go into all the possibilities he mentioned, but I got the impression that he is not satisfied with the conclusion of no Cancer. Love you and thank you for your continuous Prayers.Scott

UPDATE

Another update on my son!!!

Family and Friends,
 
I saw the Dermatologist today and got the results from the Biopsy. He believes the symptoms  are consistent with Still's Disease (Systemic Onset Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis) which is rare at my age, but becoming seen more and more. The fatigue, fever, rash, even the lung infection are noted in the symptoms. This is still just one Doctors belief, I see the Rheumatologist On Wed. and he will have compiled all the test result and hopefully have a true Diagnosis of the illness along with a treatment plan.

I know if he could he would personally thank you all for your continued prayers for him and his family.
I thank you and ask that you continue to pray.
