Bumb in the road

Hello dear friends and family,
Kelly was hospitalized today. He was having tremendous sinus pressure for a couple of days and when he went in for treatment today the doctor decided that he had better be admitted. He got an MRI and it was determined that he has a severe sinus infection. Tomorrow they will go into his sinuses and extract a culture to see if the infection in bacterial or fungal. Please pray for Kelly as the pain is debilitating and please pray that the doctors will have wisdom as to how to best treat this infection. We are disappointed that treatment had to be suspended. There is a danger in that because we don't want to give the leukemia a chance to build any resistance to the chemo. We really don't have any idea how long this hospital stay will be or when chemo will resume. ANYWAY... I am so very thankful that the doctors finally found a drug that eased the pain at about 5:00 this evening. Kelly is resting comfortably and now it is time for me to go to bed :)
lots of love, Gabriela

Gabriela,

We will be praying for the infection and for Kelly to be comfortable and be healed soon. We will also pray that the doctors are able to treat him for leukemia with no danger of resistance. Call us if you need anything.

Love and prayers,

Jon & Camille

Kelly and Gabriela,
I just want you to know that I continue to pray for you both according to your specific requests as well as just asking God to fill you with his peace, strength and comfort. It does grieve me greatly that you have to be going through this huge ordeal. God has His reasons but we most often I think don't know what they are. I love you both and will continue to pray.
In Love,
Kathy Mahon
