Health Update

I haven't posted on Grant's health in a while, mostly because we didn't have many answers. This week we went to a GI doc that Grant used to see as a baby. His "hot tummy" has persisted and treating him for reflux didn't bring him any relief. After updating the gastroenterologist he concluded it is definitely not reflux. He said the next step is to "scope" Grant and do a biopsy of his esophagus. This is scheduled at Beaumont for January 10th. We are first on the waiting list for an earlier date. We are praying for the procedure to be done earlier in the day (his current time is 4:00pm) because he can't eat all day! Try explaining that to a 4 year old!

Today Grant went to the pulmonologist who said that it might just be a way of life for Grant to have an intense, wet cough 9 months out of the year. He has been coughing heavily since late September and they have tried every remedy possible for the asthma. He said that with so many different viruses in the winter and allergies in the spring and summer Grant's asthma is almost always triggered. We are praying against this!

We know that God has the ability to heal Grant totally and completely. If you are a pray-er we ask that you would join with us in praying for total healing for Grant's lungs and GI tract. Thanks!
