Update on Alan

This is about a week and a half delayed, but it here it is!

 After a very long day flying to and from Philadelphia and ending his doctors appointment and traveling home while enduring a migraine, Alan made it back home around midnight two Thursdays ago.  His doctor was not surprised  his preventatives had not worked much, so they doubled his dosage and might double it again if it still ceases to work.  He is a good candidate for Cephaly.. which is a new kind of headband to treat migraines, just FDA approved, and a good candidate for Enzyme Therapy, not FDA approved and would require driving several hours each way 1-2 times/month.

Alan was recently diagnosed with a possible gluten intolerance which may be his body's way of reacting to being out of balance and really just out of whack for so long...

Although at times it is tiring to continue add to a list of  ailments, we are also very grateful to have a doctor who can pinpoint some problems and help us rule things out or focus on healing in certain areas.

We are grateful God is with us every step of the way, as we trust in his mercy and care each day. Alan began his week today with a migraine, but tomorrow is a new day.

Post Philly Update

Alan was in Philadelphia at a headache clinic almost a month ago. We are so thankful for so many prayers and support on this long journey to healing his chronic migraines. He continues to have migraine several times a week and regular headaches almost daily, along with nausea from his medicine He goes back to Philadelphia next Thursday for a check up. He has been allowed to up some of his preventatives. Meanwhile, he has also seen a homeopathic doctor who diagnosed him with several things: gene mutation that causes heavy metals poisoning, treated with supplements, and biotoxin issues caused by mold, yeast or Lymes. He thinks Alan can be healed by November, but most of the supplements recommended Alan can not take ( his body does not respond to them).  We know that the Lord can bring healing, but with all of the ups and downs of hope and disappointment in doctors and medicine, we are choosing to continue to trust in Him for strength and mercy to get through each day and take life one day at a time. "I lift my eyes up to the hill, from where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth." Psalm 121:1-2.
