Hi everyone,
Thanks for your prayers for Randel. I do have an update.
When I came home from school for lunch yesterday (Wednesday) he was fading and symptoms were worsening. I prayed for guidance and felt definitely led that I needed to get him some medical help. Our doctor's office sent us directly to the emergency room where he was hooked up to an IV and many tests again performed. Just before we left around 6 the doctor reported that one of the tests showed he has a parasite probably picked up on our trip. It's a hard one to detect and often takes 2 or 3 tests to find. It is very serious for someone with a suppressed immune system but at least we know what it is! He's on a three day course of drug treatment. We haven't seen improvement yet but are hopeful that by tomorrow we will have turned a corner for the better. Please continue to pray. He's still so weak and can't eat. But we are so thankful for the diligence and wisdom of all our doctors here and at Mayo. God is providing for us through the loving care of others and His peace in the storm.
Thanks again and keep the prayers coming,
Betty
