New Trial

Getting Big!!

Thanks for your prayers, we so appreciate all the support. We went to clinic on Thursday and the appt went well. It was great to see some of Micah's nurses and our friends at Volunteer Services- Mikes even played with Dr Rood. He did a great job and a new trial opened up so we were able to sign him up for that. It is a Phase 1 trial so there are no real results to go off of, it is a Phase 2 in Europe. Also it is a drug that has been around for quite awhile (the name escapes me right now- I'll send it out later), so they know it is safe, plus it is in liquid form which is another huge plus- it will just go into his chocolate milk! He will have to have blood draws once a week for the first month or until his blood levels reach the required amount for study protocol (please pray that that happens quickly- we sure don't like blood draws). Mikes will also have another MRI this coming week, we don't know yet but as always we would appreciate your prayers and we know we have them.
The steroids seem to be helping but he is still not sleeping at night, the docs are working on that one for both Micah, Luke & I =)
These last weeks have been very hard. Yet the Lord has been very near. Bringing peace and comfort to our weak hearts. Through times of prayer, reading his word, wonderful emails and calls from friends, recalling scripture and music that speaks of His greatness have tremendously encouraged us ~ reminding us that God is good and near. How thankful we are for yet another day!
More to come
All our Love

Pics from Soccer Practice... Braet really enjoys it. He is even pretending that he's Coach Allen and Mikes is Braet.
