Alan's health update

After much waiting Alan was cleared to receive a CPAP machine to help him sleep, which will in turn, hopefully help relieve his migraine headaches. He will go on Friday to pick it up and start using it. whoohoo! Please pray that it is helpful.

After even more waiting and calling, Alan found out the results from a MRI that he has two bulging disks in his upper vertebrae, so now he needs to go back to the neurologist to check on that next week...it might be a relatively easy fix, such as physical therapy or exercises, or surgery :(.

Last but not least, Alan visited an ENT doctor and found out he has a deviated septum and a lowered mouth palate, BUT the doctor is really hopeful that the sleep machine will fix that.

Meanwhile, he continues to have bad headaches and sleepless nights. God's mercies are new everyday and this is something we have learned to not take lightly, but to rejoice in and find strength in Him each day. Only The Lord can sustain us and HE does EACH and EVERY day.
