Andrew's appointment in Charlotte went well today. Dr. Black said that his lungs are in "excellent" condition, and there is no damage. If Dr. Black had not searched for answers, Andrew would probably still be sick and end up with lung damage and many other bad things. A lot of people with immune system issues do fight infections frequently even when they are correctly diagnosed, so I know that we have a lot for which we need to be thankful. He told Andrew to continue to take the Advair to help stop things before they start. He is still at risk for bad infections, but we can try to be as ready as we can. And we will know how to treat him more effectively. I just don't even want to hear that cough! (And right now I am not!)
Sam has been swinging from very high to very low today. It's been frustrating. I thought maybe his insulin pen was not working, and we did use up the last of it today and started another cartridge. Even with that, he has been hard to keep up with! I can only hope tomorrow he will be back on track. And we will chalk this up as just a weird day.
Summer is flying by. And it is HOT in Boone! I hope our schools can cool off before school starts and while the teachers prepare their rooms.
Thanks for praying. We praise the Lord that Andrew's lungs are strong and healthy. Dr. Black said when Andrew is well, he is well. That in itself is amazing! We thank Him for Dr. Black and his interest in Andrew. He has truly been a blessing.
Again, thanks for the prayers. So many people need them right now; and we know how much they help and what strength, assurance, and hope they bring - being able to entrust such huge things to Someone else.
Have a great rest of the week!
