Tim’s back is not much better. We spent Thursday in the ER. They gave him a pretty high dose of pain medication and it didn’t really touch it. So, they gave him some muscle relaxer and an anti inflammatory. Neither of those really did much either. He cannot find a comfortable position, whether lying or sitting, to escape the pain. It is also hard to move around.
We head to Iowa City on Tuesday for blood work and a biopsy. There is not a scheduled Dr visit, just the tests. It will then be 7-10 days for the results to come back and a treatment plan to be put into place.
PRAYER REQUESTS:
Please continue to pray for his back and that he is able to find some relief somehow. We are at a loss as to who to even see next. He has an appointment with a pain clinic but that is not until September 1st. That is a very long time to wait!
The biopsy on Tuesday could easily add to the pain Tim is already feeling in his back. Prayers that he will tolerate that well would be very appreciated.
With everything that is going on, Tim is rather discouraged.
PRAISES:
We don’t want to leave with all the bad that is above so tonight we say “Thank you!” to all of our prayer warriors. We know that God is in control and that everything that is happening will bring glory to Him!
