Been great to be back home and at Rock Bridge!! I love our church! Yet my heart is so with Beth in NYC, and as y’all have again shown me, your prayers are with her and our family in a “big” way. Thank you so much!!
Beth just finished “Skype-ing” with our boys and she is looking great and feeling stronger. She has had several good days in a row both in how she feels and what the doctors are observing. The mucus problem in her throat (which is making eating difficult) seems to be a result of a fungus that took root in the dead Epstein-Barr virus tissues (that thing causes problems even after it dies!). Thankfully, some infectious-disease specialists were able to pinpoint this likely culprit. So with some changes in her medicines, we are hopeful this latest challenge will be overcome soon. While we wait, the G-Tube is doing its job so Beth is getting nutrition and feeling better.
So we are cautiously optimistic that she is turning a corner. Her counts are very strong and there are new signs (from her latest labs) that her immune system is maturing and getting closer to full capacity. However, we are not there yet, we must remain careful and vigilant … but we are very thankful for where we are today.
