Here we go again folks. Duncan is back in the hospital this time in the US. Here is what we know at this point. When Duncan had the virus his antibodies went on overkill. Now with more than his immune system knows what to do with they began attacking his brain and optic nerve. Duncan has inflammation in his brain and spine along with autoimmune optic neuritis, which has caused loss of eyesight in his left eye. At this point he is legally blind in that eye. Treatment has started, no telling how much of his eyesight will return.
Now the doctors are testing to see if this is a vascular issue. They are deciding on a course of tests to see just how deep the problem lies. Once these next set of tests are completed the treatment plan can be determined. Duncan gets to look forward to at least three months of treatment and possibly longer, like two years longer. It is safe to say I am hoping for the three month treatment!
The good news is that we are getting a much clearer picture into what is going on and how it can be treated, for which we are very grateful. Duncan is in high spirits and has energy he just isn't able to really burn off.
Again we know many of your are coming to our aid through various means. We are eternally grateful for the many prayers and fasts in his behalf. As we are close to our old stomping grounds we have the opportunity for visitors, our first arrived today.
See Duncan, see Duncan trying to see.
Not the best picture. Trust me though, it is a beautiful view and in the very corner is the steeple of the new temple.
Duncan is loving the food!!!!!
Our very first visitors!!! They drove for hours to spend time with Duncan. Thank you!!!
It was almost like we hadn't ever moved to China. Thank you dear friends.
