One of the reasons that we came back to WA State for a bit was to seek further medical treatment/testing for Amanda. She started feeling much better the week we returned to WA. We aren't sure if the heat just increases her symptoms or what but we *do* know that a precious brother prayed over her in Belize the morning we left for home so perhaps the Lord has decided to take some of her issues away, Praise the Lord! She has so much more energy- it is wonderful to see her running around and being her old self. The doc here in Chehalis who provided all of the free testing and treatment for us here in January, recently retested to see where her Vit D levels were at after taking 10,000 i.u twice weekly for 5 months. Her number had gone from a 14 (BAD) to a 100 (GREAT!) so we are very thankful for that! She has still been experiencing a lot of tachycardia again.. enough to make her dizzy and not able to think well or perform normal tasks at times, maybe once weekly. A few weeks ago she was fitted with a long term heart monitor which will monitor her for a full month. They should be able to tell what, if anything, is making her heart go haywire. There is a chance she has a second electrical pathway which causes the symptoms. That would require surgury to correct. Please just pray that we are able to find *something* or that the Lord would take that away from her. Despite this past year of struggles and feeling terrible she has remained such a joyful example of a true servant of Jesus. She would tell you that she is thankful for these small trials.. the Lord has used it all mightily in her life.
Thank you for your continued prayers.
