Prayer Requests

Michelle's pain in her legs has returned somewhat today. She is anxious about this and wants to know why. Her hips are sore as well. Please pray that this pain will subside and that she will feel progress being made. The time and pain involved in all of this is frustrating!

Last Friday she was given another steroid infusion with methotrexate. This is a chemo drug which they have given her that will take 5 - 6 weeks to shut down her immune system . They need to do this in order to stop her immune system from attacking her body. Because of this Michelle will have to be very careful about being around others with illnesses. She also cannot go back to her ways of staying up until 2 or 3 in the morning :-) She is not supposed to have ANY stress...easier said than done!

Jack has been a great help to Michelle---he is getting quite adept at washing and styling her hair! Unfortunately, he does not like to have his picture taken, so I posted what picture I had :-) Sorry Jack! Now he'll have to learn how to post so he can be included too!

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for Michelle. She appreciates all of the prayers!
