My neice Tricia sent this prayer request:
I'll certainly be praying for you. God bless you. Father, I ask that you heal Tricia from this disease. Whether it be outright or through treatment, we look to you. If she is to go through the drug treatment I ask that it be sucessful, without side effects. Thank you for her healing purchased through the stripes on Jesus' back, and in His precious name I pray, amen.
>Dear All,
>
>Just a quick note to ask for prayers on Friday. My Crohns is acting up and
>I am out of remission. I struggled with it over the holidays and went to
>the Dr. on the 6th.... Bill went with me and the Dr. laid all the option
>out on the table. He put me on a anti-biotic to see if it was just an
>infection( he didn't really feel it was but it was worth a try) but if it
>didn't clear up in a week I would have to start a new treatment. The
>treatment that Bill and choose was Remicade. It is the best choice that I
>had to choose from. It is a Class B drug. It is a drug that I will have to
>spend 3 hours being infused with into my veins. I go for the first
>treatment on Friday and then the next one two weeks later, then 4wk later
>and the 8 wk later and then continuing going every 8 weeks. It also take 2-4
>months for you to really see the results.
>
>This is the treatment that my mom is on. Ironically, we are scheduled for
>treatment on the same day. I think God had his hand in planning that just
>right. I am hanging in there and trying to stay positive and keep going,
>but I would like to ask for prayers that it works quickly and effectively
>and that I don't have any major reactions to the drug.
>
>Thank you and I appreciate all of your prayers.
>Love
>Tricia
