Thanks for your prayers

Thanks for your prayers everyone! The testing on Thursday for Justus went well and he was such a tough guy with the bone scan and blood work. We just got a call from the doctor about an hour ago with the results and things look good. She was able to rule out Perthes disease, which they had thought it was. I am very glad it isn't that, because there would have been a lot of complications with the bone. It also looks like there is no tumor-thank you God! Basically, they were able to rule out things, but still not pin point what it is. His white and red blood counts are lower than normal and they are still waiting for more results to come in. The scan showed that his hip is inflamed though, so he is on some anti-inflammatory meds for the next 10 days and we will have another phone conference with her to mark what has been going on. At that time, she may refer us to another doctor depending on how Justus is doing and what the last blood tests reveal. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes. It really helped me knowing all of you were thinking of us and praying. Justus also read some of them and I know it reassured him.

Hey guys. Was looking up your blog checking in to see how the adoption was going and read about Justus. Absolutely I'm praying and believing for absolute healing in his little body and the Lord will be glorified and the root of this pain will be exposed. Go God! In the meantime, may you have supernatural peace in an otherwise (meaning, without God) fretful sitation as you speak the Word over him.

Your blog is so fun Kristin. It's fun to be able to check in on you guys once in awhile.

BLESS YOU!! I will check back for a good report!
