If you havent visited here in the last few days, you may want to read the "Urgent" update that I posted two days ago. The doctors are still trying to determine the cause of the severe headaches that Muggs started experiencing last Friday. So far, tests for bacterial meningitis have come back negative, and we are still awaiting the cytology report that will tell us whether there were cancer cells present in the spinal fluid. When we met with the oncologist late yesterday, she was hoping that they would be available this morning, but as of about 7AM, when the neurologist came by on rounds, they were not. The hope is, that this is simply a viral infection that Muggs' body will just have to fight off. Hopefully, we'll know shortly. We are expecting the oncologist any time now.
Much of the pain has been alleviated by the medication that Muggs is receiving. She is still experiencing periodic nausea. As you can imagine, she is getting weary of feeling so badly. We very much appreciate your prayers for us. Here are some specific ways that you can pray.
- For relieve from the pain and nausea.
- For the test results to come back quickly, and that there would be no cancer present in the fluid.
- That her pain and nausea would improve, so that she can be released today
- That Muggs be restored to total health
Thanks for the ways that each of you have served us. We love you, and are strengthened by your prayers, support, and encouragement. I will post again as soon as we have new information to share with you.
For the family,
Andy

Hi Andy, Muggs & Family,
Thank you so much for sharing your heart during this trial that you are going through. We appreciate your openness, and are thankful to see and hear how God is meeting you during this time. Please know that we are praying for you, and especially today that God will send a quick answer as to Muggs' pain, so the doctors will know how to help. May He continue to shower you with peace and comfort as you seek His face!
Psalm 121 - "I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From whence shall my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to slip; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade on your right hand. The sun will not smite you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord will protect you from all evil; He will keep your soul. The Lord will guard your going out and your coming in, from this time forth and forever."
We love you guys! Pam for the Carpenters
