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. Scott
