Prayer Request

Mom asked me to post a note and ask you to pray for her this weekend.  The physical therapy was not good for her this week. The therapist apparently worked her neck and wasn't supposed too. She failed to contact Dr. E (the Houston doctor) before starting therapy on Mom.  So mom has been in a lot of pain this week and getting worse.  She's had a lot of pain in her arms and legs and is limping again. She's also shaking quite a bit. 

Tonight she talked with Dr. P from the Mayo Clinic and he was very upset that the therapist worked on Mom's neck and wanted her to see Dr. E immediately. Of course, it's Friday and Monday is a holiday.  Dr. P wants her to go up on her medication dosage. She's been going up on it very slowly (in 5mg doses) because it's had some nasty side effects before when she took it in larger doses.  But tonight she's going up 10mg and wants everyone to pray that the side effects are minimal and that this dosage increase helps with her symptoms.

She was really doing well on the medication before she started PT last week. At Christmas she really was feeling great.  And now she's scared because a lot of her symptoms are back.  Hopefully the dosage increase will help.

Thanks for your prayers and please let me know if you have any questions.  Feel free to post messages!

***On a personal note, while your praying for Mom will you please say a prayer for some dear friends of ours, they lost their baby this week. She was about 8-10 weeks pregnant. I know they would appreciate your prayers too.
