Praises - Lab Results & more

• We got the results of last weeks blood work, Ashlyne's sed rates are good, her CBC, blood count is good and her liver tox levels were within normal range.
• Ashlyne continues to not have any pain.
• Tonight is the last night for two weeks to have to get up and take meds at 1:30am, both Ashlyne and I are thrilled about this one.
• Our pharmacist is a compound pharmacist and he was able to make her new antiobiotic that we start tomorrow into a syrup so we do not have to give her injections of the medication. (Mom is really glad about this one)
• Ashlyne's grades continue to be A's, she has caught up with all her assignments and classes from missing 5 1/2 days of school.
• Ashlyne's spirits over all is very good.

Items to continue to pray about:

Calm Ashlyne's appetite, prednisone makes anyone hungry, she is on high levels and the last couple days has been wanting more food than she is allowed.

Protect Ashlyne from any teasing at school, her diet makes her different and her checks are really puffy, middle school kids can be mean. So far no one has given her trouble which is also a praise.

That this diet and medication regime will calm the inflammation and stricture areas before we return to Omaha on Dec 16th.

That Ashlyne can have some diet restrictions lifted and be able to have more foods by Christmas.

Pray for both of Ashlyne's families as we face the holidays and increased medical expenses. Pray that the insurance will authorize payment of Ashlyne's liquid supplement.

Thank you for continued support and prayers and encouragement.
