We are in real need of prayer this week. Dan's having a lot of confusion and he is not able to stay awake. His doctors changed his steroid in an effort to get him on a less damaging one, but it has sent him into a major set back. We started his old steroid back at a high dose last night in an effort to "re-boot" his brain. He will have a fast taper to get him to a more tolerable dose as quickly as possible.
From what I understand the brain needs 2 main things to function (glucose and steroid). Apparently, Dan's body no longer makes a natural form of steroid due to his chemo and radiation. So he requires the medication to keep everything working. We are in hopes that this will do the trick.
As I mentioned in my last post Dan will have his 2 scans (PET and MRI) this week. We are very anxious to get a clean report. Until then, please continue to hold Dan up to the Lord in prayer. We surrender this situation to Jesus and look forward to the revelation of God's plan for us (in the knowledge that He loves us perfectly).
Thank you for your continued support.
Love,
Leah
