Good News!

Good News has many different meanings: Jesus is still in control and Stephan's blood work came back normal...just two examples! I received a call yesterday from Debbie (Stephan's mom) that the blood work up came back normal but the doctor still wanted Stephan to get the scan and biopsy on the lymph nodes along with an echocardiogram for the heart murmur the doctor detected.
More good news; Debbie did some hard research yesterday and found out that a few of the side effects of Ritilan LA are: enlarged and sore lymph nodes, irregular heart beat, dizzines and sore throat. We see Stephan's doctor that prescribes the ADHD medication on Monday and plan to bring this up to her. I'm feeling much better about the prognosis. Stephan has backed off on his ADHD medication a little (went from 30mg to 20mg) and hopefully will be removed from it by the time he graduates high school in 2011.
Continue to pray for Stephan and the doctors as we continue to track all this down! All in all, good news!

Regardless of what news Wednesday holds, God is still on the throne, the sun will still rise, and you will face it together as a family. I'm hoping for the Ritalin explanation, though! Prayers for peace and calm.
