Hey family! Work and classes are going well, I'm definitely keeping busy. Ashley has been under the weather for the past month or so. She met with an infectious disease specialist today - after an hour and a half of examination the doc stated the following: I need a new chest x-ray and ct scan of lungs, heart, throat and sinuses, I will be getting a set of booster shots, I will be receiving another pertussis vaccine and a pneumonia vaccine, a lung specialist will likely be performing a bronchoscopy, 12 blood samples were taken to test for tuberculosis, insufficient antibodies, autoimmune disorders ect. I should be hearing within the week when all of these tests will be ran (except the blood that was drawn today) and shots will be given. I see this specialist again on Nov. 13. In the mean time she has asked that I take it easy and leave work when necessary. My boss will be helping me submit FMLA paperwork in case I end up missing more work, my job will still be safe. Sorry to not have better news, but this a more attention then I have been given in the past and I am hopeful. She said that once she has a better idea, I will likely go on some medicines to try to help relieve the pains and cough.
We definitely appreciate your prayers and look forward to hopefully learning more in the days and weeks to come.
Love you guys!
Jonathan & Ashley
