Update

Jack is doing Ok this week. He is still experiencing a lot of the episodes of the tetany. It is very painful and at this point the medications are not helping with that. He is still having a lot of eye issues and instability. His fatigue seems to be up this week and endurance down in the afternoon and evening.

He went for some allergy testing on Monday. They did some very basic scratch tests. They didn't see much, but one reaction. Jacks nasal passages were swollen. His eyes were glassy and red. Based on all that the doctor wants a sinus x-ray and wants Jack to come back for some more extensive testing in a couple months. He wants to see what the x-ray shows. He also wants to wait till he recovers more from the last surgery. He still felt he was in the process of recovery. He is keeping him on his current allergy medication. We will see what the x-ray shows and do the rest of the testing then.

Today he went for the nuclear med test. It was 4 hours long. Jack did well. We hope to get some answers from that soon. The test has given him diarrhea. He is not feeling too good. We will just be watching that closely. That for him can turn serious. We trust and pray it will not last.

Jack despite all this is in good spirits. A bit clingy and not feeling that great, but managing.

We will trust in the Lord for next week as we do every week. Praise be to God. We just thank him for Jack and all of are family and friends.
