Update on Art's Health
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
March 20th, 2007
Art's health continues about the same, i.e., the improvement in his breathing continues, and he has not needed a blood transfusion nor has he had a major infection landing him in the ICU for over two months! He's had a few temporary relapses but they seemed to last only a day. Our prayer that he be able to get off steroids is also being answered, as they are slowly weaning him off them while they increase the dose of another immune suppressant drug with fewer damaging side effects. Thank God for these answers to prayer. Art continues to need insulin for diabetes.
The specialists are again questioning the diagnosis of polyarteritis nodosa, saying now that he has an unidentified form of vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels). Whatever it is, God knows, and let’s continue to pray for full healing.
