"Be persistant in prayer, and keep alert as you pray giving thanks to God"
Colossians 4:2
I wanted to take some time today and sit down and ask for prayer. Our family is headed back to Cincinnati Children's Hospital on Thursday. There will be more testing on the kids. Our family has prayed for seven years for an answer.
On Thursday the kids will be tested for Ketone Utilization Disorder. After some research on this we realize that the kids have many if not all of the symptoms involved with this disorder. I don't want to get too into it now, but if this is what they have then God has truly been protecting these kids throughout their journey. I love it how God is always there to protect us even in the times I didn't ask Him to be. And especially in the times when I am so dumb to what is really going on around me.
The last thing we want to do is get our hopes up again only to realize that our 7 year search for an answer isn't over just yet. It has happened so many times. The doctors test for something and we say, "this has got to be it!!" and we get the phone call saying, "I'm sorry this isn't it, so come back and we will do more testing."
When you are a parent you don't want anything to be wrong with your kids but when you know something is wrong, your heart sinks when it can't be found. And you become very tired and helpless when you are asked to "walk" around that same mountain called "testing" for 7 years.
God is good and I believe He will lead us to the answer we are searching for. He made them. He already has the answer. We are asking that you pray for His wisdom to reach the minds and thoughts of the doctors to guide them in the right direction to our answer. We are also asking that you pray for protection on us as we travel.
Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers, they mean so much to us. I will keep you posted as soon as we hear something. ♥♥♥
