WE'RE HOME, AGAIN!!

Praise the Lord!! Ken can move his arms and legs again!! We have been through a wild 3 days. After 2 days of severe pain and inability to move, Ken has almost fully recovered after taking two 20 mg. tablets of Presnisone. The doctor said that this disease is totally unrelated to the cancer and that Ken would have to take the Prednisone every day for the rest of his life or the disease would come back.

I talked to the nurse at the clinic where Ken is to take the Poly-MVA about him taking the Prednisone (cortisone) and she talked to the doctor and they told me that cortisone may interfere a little with the treatment by making it less effective, but that they would administered a higher dose of the Poly to make up the difference. We are going back to OKC on Friday to get his second treatment of Poly-MVA. He has missed two treatments because he was in the hospital down here in Muskogee.

I just thank God that Dr. Kyger was able to diagnose the Poly-myalgia rheumatica condition that attacked Ken's body. He had a similar incident that happened to him about three years ago where he was unable to move his head and shoulders. He was hospitalized for 7 days in the Muskogee hospital and they ran every test on him known to man almost. They treated him for tick fever, but testing later showed that he did not have this condition. They thought he might have lockjaw, they did a spinal tap because they thought he might have meningitis, and did a week of blood analysis, etc. only to send him home and tell him they did not know what was wrong with him. It took weeks of physical therapy to help him get moving again, and it was very painful. I believe he had this same condition at that time, but no one was able to diagnose it. He went through weeks of pain and rehabilitation when if the correct diagnosis was made all he would have had to do was take some cortisone and he would have recovered. Ken and I want to thank all of you who prayed for the doctor to diagnose him correctly so he could be treated. It was truly a miracle this morning when I saw him raise his arm and scratch his head for himself. Jeffrey, Rowena and I spent two day feeding him, scratching his head and nose for him and rubbing his eyes. Just imagine if you could not move your arms and you had a itch!! The morphine they were giving him made his nose itch terribly and he couldn't rub it. How helpless he felt!

I just want to thank God for healing my husband! God is an awesome God as I saw a manifested miracle this morning in that hospital room. This is encouraging all of us and building our faith to believe for his complete healing and restoration of his body.

Thanks again for your prayers. God bless you.

Love,
Ken & Mary
