There’s not a whole lot to report, but I wanted to keep you all in the loop. I spoke with my uncle (the P.A.) last week and he didn’t think that the blood tests would find anything conclusive, he actually wondered why the doctor ordered them at all. Jim may still do them, but now he’s not in any hurry to spend another $120.

The numbness in the left side of his body is ever present, but it’s not really bothering him like it was – I think he’s just getting used to it. At times, when we go on a bike ride or he mows the lawn, basically whenever he moves a lot, both his legs are numb. He was also having muscle spasms in his lower back the other day after a lot of activity. I finally forced him to let me give him a massage, it temporarily made things worse. But all this leads me to believe that it’s (hopefully) a problem with his back. We’re going to try to get him into another Chiropractor as soon as possible. And I think he would really benefit from a professional massage.

Until then, I thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. We’re just taking this one step at a time and trusting God to take care of us. We will be OK.
