Here is an update from Lori about Jeb...


Just got back from a follow up doctor's visit. Jeb's counts are looking better than last week and he's lost 5 pounds! (This is probably fluid that he has been retaining and is a good thing). The doctor was encouraged but says it is too soon to determine if he's responding to the prednisone. We feel the power of prayer has brought him a long way from last week thanks to you.

Diet is not as restrictive and he's happy. He looks better and is acting better.

He has a touch of pneumonia from all the extra fluid but it is being treated for it early. He is on antibiotics for this and it wasn't a surprise to the doctor based on his underlying condition.

Long term prognosis still looks sunny but he will be under a doctor's care until late teens. Still many unanswered questions...a waiting game. But we are grateful for all God's gifts!
