Here Comes The Sun

With the rain comes the sun, and we all love sun! Today the sun was shining bright. It was a great day and I thought that I would share some good news instead of all bad. For those of you who didn't know Jackson has been having issues for some time now with his stomach it started over a year or so ago and has continued to roar it's ugly head on again and off again since then. We had been sent to the gastroenteralogist back at the beginning and nothing was ever discovered from that visit, sounds like my life right....and with this latest onset the pediatrician and I were worried that it might be some type of auto immune disease since we seem to have a family history now, but today we got a call on his latest blood results and the auto immune panel came back negative(praise the lord), and the celiac panel came back negative as well. Although we are still waiting on some other panels to come back is was a huge sigh of relief to realize that we are more than likely not dealing with the same disease as Parker. I have high hopes that this will at least guide the doctors in finding what might be ailing him. We have a busy week next week Parker has a neurology appointment to touch base and look into other migraine medication options, he also has a rheumatology appointment so that he can start the infusion of his new medication Remicade. Jackson has an appointment as well with the gastroenterologist to go over his latest labs and symptoms. I am asking everyone to be praying for Parker over the next week as he has been struggling to keep up with the demands of 5th grade upon all of his absences and for the infusion process to be the answer to his pain relief. Jackson will need prayers to be strong and courageous with his appointment, unlike Parker, Jackson is terrified of doctors and procedures and it has been a real test for him to be a pin cushion over the last few weeks. I think that with all that is going on we have learned to appreciate days like today where everyone is symptom free and feeling 100% and for that we are grateful. I will keep everyone updated on what we find and how the infusion goes but just know that we are all doing good and we continue to see that through prayer we find comfort.
