Today, Tuesday, we are heading back to the hospital for Jason to have a second steroid injection. After the first one a few weeks ago (mentioned in an earlier blog), Jason felt only slight relief and had a few positive changes. He was hesitant to get a second one due to the cost, but our prayer is that this one will further improve what little the first one started to improve. He doesn't see the neuro-surgeon until the end of July, so we decided to go ahead. It is quite probable that if this shot doesn't do anything better, then the doctor will recommend surgery.
Praise: Jason found out last week that a professor agreed to supervise an independent study for him this summer. That means he can work at home and only meet with the professor a few times instead of attending class every day for 2 hours!
Prayer request:
1. Jason's comfort--he is only able to maintain comfort lying on his stomach at home.
2. Today's surgery to be effective in providing that relief.
3. Wisdom for the doctors and wisdom for our future decisions if this procedure does not do the trick.
4. Trust in our Lord's provision for Jason's health and financial burdens this brings.
Thank you for your prayers! We are so blessed to have so many people praying for Jason. I will do a better job updating you all after this procedure (though the effects may take a few days to really know).
Love and Blessings to you all!
