It may be a week or more before we hear back from the tests Andrew had repeated last Thursday, and that is okay. I am taking this time to breathe and pray and read just a little bit about CVID - in case I need to know! I waffle between peace and okay and getting really anxious about what this means. I am trying to stay on the peace side and pray when I feel the anxiety building.
As for Andrew...he is okay. He is ready to feel better - whatever that is. He understands that he may be tied to a 3-4 hour treatment once a week, or worse. He says that's okay - he will do it under they find a cure. And sure enough in the info the doctor gave us, there is more research being done since more people are now being diagnosed. Most are not diagnosed early. If Andrew has CVID, then he will be diagnosed before he has permanent lung damage. The damage is not there yet, but even this week the cough is back and sounds awful.
And Andrew and I were looking at the spring track schedule, and he is excited that he may be able to run better this year. I appreciate and admire his optimism. He is a teenager, and we could be having a hard time with him. Instead, he is trusting and accepting; but he is not in denial. So I pray that whatever this is - that he is ready for those track meets too! He works so hard, and it is tough to watch him falter. But he has always had a great attitude and felt good for those who do well.
So we will pray and wait and see what we find out. Thanks for praying with us!
