What a crazy week it has been around here! My head has been spinning. I wanted to put out an update on our #5 maintenance visit to the clinic. B's liver enzymes are on a downward trend for now and we are assessing what caused the increase.
Please pray for his liver enzymes.
He is also complaining of some pain in his thighs and we have to watch him for a disease that can be caused by the steroids called
Avascular necrosis (also
osteonecrosis,
aseptic (bone) necrosis,
ischemic bone necrosis[1], and
AVN) is a disease resulting from the temporary or permanent loss of the
blood supply to an area of bone.
[1] Without blood, the bone tissue dies and the bone collapses.
[1] If avascular necrosis involves the bones of a
joint, it often leads to destruction of the joint articular surfaces (see
Osteochondritis dissecans).
As always, please pray for complete healing!
Please pray for my feet as I have a severe case of
Plantar fasciitis ......is a painful
inflammatory condition of the
foot caused by excessive wear to the
plantar fascia or plantar aponeurosis that supports the
arches of the foot.
The pain usually is felt on the underside of the
heel, and is often intense.
As you can imagine, this in interupting my life quite well, but I am working on ways to heal it. It just takes time!
Thanks for your prayers..God is good and our boy keeps on fighting!!
