Final Diagnosis

Apparently a test coming back negative is actually a positive. Huh? That is what I said when my mother called me today. Apparently when you do a myriad of tests only one coming back negative is actually a positive in the diagnosis. The specialist at the University Hospital in Utah called my mother today and walked through the test results and has diagnosed her with Churg-Straas. She has stopped taking the chemo drugs and the cough returned so was discouraged but the doctor never wanted her to stop taking it. So they have put her back on the medication and he has set a new appointment for her in November. And these follow-up tests will be covered by insurance.
Thank you all for praying for my mother now I ask you to continue to pray that the medication will heal her body. That she will continue to trust in the Lord for her daily strength and she will continue to have joy in the midst of this trial. It is a huge praise to have an accurate diagnosis and a course of action to try and heal her body.
