Pharmacy 101 - Prayer need

In the last few weeks, as we stopped luke's steroids, his appetite hasn't been great, but ok. Also, every so often, he'll go a day or 2 without a bowel movement (#2), and sometimes, may not have a #1 more than once a day.

Here's Pharmacy 101. The medicines he gets daily, weekly, etc. carry side effects as well as benefits to his condition. Most medicines follow steps we call "pharmacokinetics". Pharmacokinetics consists of steps that include: absorption of drug, distribution of drug, metabolism of drug, and excretion of drug.

Our prayer need, specifically, is for Luke to continue to eat and drink well, and also, that he excretes (#1 and #2; and also, sweat) well. We have upheld this in prayer for a little while now. Also, we've been giving him a laxative, Miralax, as well as trying to get him to drink water (because without water, most laxatives don't work), juice, and to have a well-balanced diet.

Overall, we are very thankful that Luke is feeling and acting so much better.

We know there is a lot going on inside his body every second, and we do not see any of that. We trust in Him, and pray that Luke continues, happily and healthily (is that a word?), to full recovery. Praise God.
