Still Bumpy, but Finding Answers

Michael is doing better, but still up and down with appetite.  We did find out that he does have a intestinal bug that has been complicating things.  It is possible that this is the entire cause of his trouble eating and drinking.  However, we should be finding out test results by next week if he has the gut form of Graft vs Host Disease (GVHD) in addition to the infection.  So he is on more antibiotics and he is a little better in just one day, so we will see.  We will be relieved to get over this bump so he can get more energy and start gaining back some weight.
Our prayer requests are for the infection to resolve quickly with the antibiotics, for any GVHD to resolve, and to remain in remission.
Thank you for your prayers for Michael.
As a note, Friday is World Cancer Day.  The prayer that many people will lift up that day is "Dear God, I pray for a cure for cancer.  Amen.
