What the Specialist says.....
I just got off the phone with Mike and Heather. They have one more blood test to do and they will be on there way home. The Dr says that the HSP is attacking her joints, her kidney and her bowels/GI tract which is typical HSP. So far it has not damaged them, they are inflamed and they will check them again in three months. Pretty much this means it has to run its course and there is no treatment. If the damage increases in the next three months, when she returns, they will do a renal biopsy. There is no medication they can give her to stop this when she hurts she can have Tylenol. The blood test is to check for another type of microb that mimics HSP just to be sure and three others known to cause renal failure. Monitoring her blood pressure is key so we must begin doing that ( I don't remember why Heather said it was important). Mike doesn't know if she will prescribe anything that can alleviate some of the pain other than Tylonel, not likely. We will see. SOOOOO...there is a whole lot to continue to pray about. Mike says the Dr. has seen this before and knew what to look for, that is good. I on the other hand did six loads of camp clothes and painted three hallway doors waiting for this phone call. The three older ones will be going to the small four day Buck's lake camp, but to the Two Week Camp Gilgal camp. Instead we will do more family camp so we can keep an eye on the amount of activities they do. And have the needed finances for more stays in Sacramento. It is all good! God is ever in Control.And He knows what we need to do. I love you guys, thanks for the prayers. Bobbie
