Well, it has been quite a long day. I feel like I am running on fumes right now. As I mentioned in previous post Mike was diagnosed with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis when he was 10. Today, was the second doctor's appointment I have ever been to with him. We had to be in San Angelo by 8am, so it was quite an early morning.
After sitting in the waiting room for quite some time, we finally were called back to see the doctor. This visit has been much anticipated after the flare-up he had 3 weeks ago. After much discussion we didn't have many new answers, but we felt like we had a doctor who was dedicated to helping Mike get through daily life better. Tests were run to see if the JRA is still active or we are just dealing with mechanical damage that has happened as a result of the years of JRA.
Mike is finally at a place where he wants to try to be proactive in treating whatever is plagueing him. We both fear this disease affecting our family life later when children our involved and that is difficult to think about. Please pray that the doctor will be able to help us find a good treatment for our situation. In addition, as we all know doctors and medication are expensive. Since we are both in graduate school that can be difficult, so please pray that God will provide a means for Mike to recieve the treatment he needs.
God has been faithful, thus far, and I trust he will continue to provide for us.
Father, please give us direction and peace to know that you are in control and we are sheltered under your wings.

Dearest Sara, You are such a gift from God! I know your faith and courage will be a huge support to Mike, and I'm praying that God will give you peace and that he will continue to make it very clear to both of you that HE definitely is in control and that he holds you both in his hands. I am praying for you and love you so much!
