Back in the Hospital

We came back to the hospital yesterday around noon. Mike started running a fever again. This is getting so hard to walk in and out of here - especially on Elizabeth. My heart just cries out for her sometimes. We are still waiting to know exactly what the infection is and that may take a day or two. His White Blood Count is high (19.3 for those Medical people out there) so it is just a matter of tracking it down and then fighting it. They have put Mike on rounds of antibiotics and we are waiting.

The hardest thing about this hospital visit is that they did a CAT Scan and it is apparent that we need to add more muscle behind this fight. I have spent the morning doing some research and we have placed a few calls. It is hard to get people on the day after Thanksgiving. Please be in prayer for us.

I just have to say, I am so tired of cancer. What I don't understand is that there are tons of people out there surviving it using all different treatments and each person says that the other way doesn't work. I wish that the "world of cancer" people (drug companies, oncologists, homopaths, alt treatments) would just come together in the interest of human kind and put there heads together for the greater good and put money aside. Could you even imagine what might happen?

That is my soapbox for today. We are in God's hands and that is the only place that we can be right now. He is the only one I trust. I will keep you updated.....

Please Pray:
Treatment decisions
Healing for Mike
Sleep for everyone
God to hug Elizabeth extra tight right now

Praise God for bringing us out of darkness and into His Glorious Light! Our lesson in Good News Club was how we should "rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice!" Phil 4:4. We live and walk by FAITH...taking every thought captive to obey Christ! We keep our eyes on Jesus and we rise above this earth, ourselves and our circumstances; where He is and this is our position in Christ!!! We are so thankful for YOU all. God will provide all your needs and He will NEVER leave you nor forsake you. You're in our hearts, thoughts & prayers. Love in Christ, Lynnette
