Yesterday my dad finally got his very first Tysabri infusion! After three months of trying to get things worked out and approved, God finally made it possible for an appointment to be set up. Daddy was soooo happy! It's been about a year and a half since his sickness began and it's steadily progressed since then. Each time he has more lesions grow, more symptoms come on, and more hospital stays, he says, "I don't want to do it again." It's heartbreaking, but we find peace in knowing the Lord is watching over him and that He's in complete control. Needless to say, it's been a loooong year and a half. So we really are thrilled to finally have some treatment going!While we're excited, we're also aware of the risks involved. Basically, this drug will either kill you or 'heal' you. There's actually no known cure for multiple sclerosis, but this drug has put many people into remission or at least lessened the severity of their exacerbations. Honestly, either one would be great. And guess what? We're already seeing a bit of improvement! Dad's walking is a little better and he's thinking more clearly too! Praise Jesus!
Please pray with us that this drug will not cause any harm or damage to his body, and that it will keep him from having any more lesions grow! We know Dad's healing will ultimately come from the Lord, but we also know God can use this treatment to cure him. ...And it will be nothing short of a miracle when it does! ;)
"Then Jesus said to them,
'With man this is impossible, but with God
all things are possible.'"
Matthew 26:19

I'm so glad he's feeling better! I've been praying for him every morning. ;)
I've been praying something like this would happen for your Dad. God is amazing isn't he?
The Lord really IS watching over him right now. And He will heal him.
