Prayers

I just talked with John. He said when the doctor came by this morning that he talked about a metabolic disease that he wants to rule out. It is called homocystinuria. He told them that it is not a good diagnosis and that it is difficult to treat. It is primarily treated with diet. Apparently this diagnosis would explain a lot of the things going on with Max. One thing that is common with homocystinuria is that the lenses of the eyes are displaced. They have an eye specialist coming in an hour to check Max's lenses. Please pray hard that Max's lenses will be just as they should be and they will not be displaced. The doctor is going to consult with some physicians at Arkansas Children's Hospital to see if we can get any answers quicker through them.

The doctor did say that sometimes problems like what Max is going through just fix themselves and we never know what the root cause was. Please pray that this will happen in Max's case and that all of his tests will come back normal.

John said they did the ultrasound around 7:00am this morning and we should have results by lunch time.

Prayers of Thanksgiving
~Max's blood sugar and temperature held steady last night
~Kelly and John were able to get some rest last night

Prayer Requests
~That Max's hurdles are not being caused by homocystinuria
~That the lenses in Max's eyes will be exactly where they should be and look perfectly normal
~That the ultrasound results will be encouraging and will show no sign of damage as if the hemorrhage was never there.
~That everything Max is going through will totally fix itself and his lab results will all come back normal.
~That Kelly and John will have peace and understanding as the doctor investigates possible causes and looks for answers
~That we will get answers quickly and the cause, if there is one, will be easy to treat

We keep praying,
Karie
