Hello...

Another day is done and it is another day that the sun shone bright with such promise of springtime and new growth. I've been thanking the Lord for the new that he brings each Spring and praying for new things for Isaac this Spring in his healing and wholeness. Isaac had a lymph treatment yesterday working on keeping his small intestine clear and open. It helps your lymph nodes drain and keeps them open to do the job they are intended to do. Toxic build-up from the lymph system working on keeping you healthy can get them clogged so to speak. Isaac has had to drink a lot of extra today to help the process along and I can see the difference in his color. He is much less yellow than usual which of course makes sense since it's keeping his organs flushed. I am going to work harder each day to get him drinking more. I believe he'll feel much better too. We again saw less cramping. Praise the Lord!

I see Isaac getting well and it is a very slow process but it is faith growing slow. The more helpless I am the more helped I am by the Lord. The more stressful my life gets the more patient I've become as a mother. The more time-consuming my job is the more time I have for praying for others. The less sleep I get the more I am able to accomplish.

Prayer requests:
  1. Pray for Isaac to sleep through the night thus allowing Kevin to sleep through the night.
  2. Pray for Isaac's fungal infection to clear up, it is coming out his mouth and causing him considerable discomfort and makes eating solid food difficult. (He is on fungal medication to help clear it up but it takes time for that to happen)
  3. Pray for the parasites to leave his body. He tested yesterday and they are still there. We have sent them to the Mayo clinic to be identified. That may give us some insight.
  4. Pray for a van for our family. We are still without a vehicle that can transport all of us, living by borrowing a mini-van. Pray for God's leading to a reliable van and for the finances for it.
  5. Praise for God's goodness and his leading us this far. We are so thankful for his steadfast love.
