Gearing up for Steroids




We have had a great couple of weeks since our last clinic visit. We are scheduled to go this week for his antibiotic and vincristine(chemo). He will also begin steroids on Wednesday. Please pray for us as we gear up for steroids. I keep thinking that one of these days it's going to get easier on him. Pray for minimal side effects and that Greg and I have the patience we need to handle whatever situation comes our way. I also ask that you pray for Greg. He has been having abdominal pain so he went to the doctor on Friday. They ordered a CT scan and have initially diagnosed it as diverticulitis. His doctor also wants him to see a GI doctor as well. Right now he is being treated with antibiotics and is feeling better. Please pray for the doctors to have clarity and wisdom. We know that it is very treated and can be managed but we feel like this is "one more thing". Thank you so much for your prayers.
