Just Need Your Prayers


As most of you know, we are facing unknown medical issues with our sweet Addi. This is day 36 of her headache, her blood pressure is up again, and she just has no spunk, for lack of a better word. She has an appointment with the neurologist on Thursday, and with the nephrologist on Monday. The medical field has yet to put their finger on the problem, but the neuro-opthamologist and the pediatrician all seem to be thinking that the pseudotumor cerebri is a misdiagnosis. We do know that her MRI was clean, so that is a relief...apparently though, the headache is symptomatic of some other issue not yet determined. They have taken her off of the medication for the pseudotumor, at the suggestion of the neurologist. The past few weeks have been a circle of doctors visits, and appointments that seem to be far too distant when it is your child. We covet your prayers. Do not take good health for granted...we had it one day and then this journey began the next. Kim and Paul need your prayers, as well. Granna, Gramps, Grammy, PaPa and all the aunts, uncles, and cousins need your prayers. We are confident in the ability of our good and wonderful God, but we also know that we are not immune from troubles and trials. We are thankful for the wonderful support that we have received, and we are praying that the coming days will bring relief and answers and hopefully an easy resolution. I love you all.

I am sorry as well. I hate so bad that she, as well as yall, are having to deal with this. We love you all very much. Hailey was sitting with me the night it was announced at church that she was in the hospital and Hailey said, "You mean my friend, Addi!" You could tell she was worried over her friend. I love you all very much!
