Update on Jackie

If you go back to the archives for Feb. 27, and the first few days of March, you'll see a prayer request for Jackie. She went to the mainland in May and stayed a month to get tests done. There were some lumps found on her thyroid, but the biopsy shows they are not malignant. Her overall symptoms continue about the same; tests showed that she doesn't have a kidney stone at the moment. The doctor put a name on her disease: mononeuritis multiplex. A quick glance on the web reveals it's an "umbrella name" for problems related to infected or damaged peripheral nerves. There are over a 100 different recognized ways this shows up, and the prognosis and treatment is just as varied. "You'll just have to live with it," the doctor told her. Some forms of the disease are recurring, that is, they come and go, which seems to be the case with her. Keep praying for this couple, Jackie and Jaime.
