Kami Update!

Kami received her results from the doctor today.  Her blood results showed that her RF factors were extremely elevated and so were her C-Reactive Protein levels.  All CT Scans and Ultrasounds came back without any major problems or life-threatening problems.   We praise the Lord for that!

However, she is still in much pain, extremely exhausted all the time, and to the point where even her skin hurts to touch it.

The doctor is referring her to a rhumatologist because her RF factors were so high.  A normal range is under 14, hers was a 70.  He did mention that her symptoms and blood work point in the direction of a connective tissue disorder...such as Lupus.

So our next step is getting an appointment with the rhumatologist.  Please be in continued prayer for her as she is still in so much pain and the pain killers don't seem to work for very long.

Until next time...
