Update from Stephen Jones

From F/B:



People have been asking how things are going, so just a brief update—but I can’t tell you how much it means to know of your thoughts and prayers even after so long!



The Raleigh Clinic got many of my Lyme symptoms in check, but then things hit a plateau, and then started sliding backward. Right now I’m back to the place I was before starting antibiotics—vertigo, nausea, mental fog, chronic fatigue and pain, 5 migraines or so a week, etc.



We’ve researched other clinics, and have found one that has amazing results. It will require me to be on-site for 6-12 weeks, which won’t be fun, but they’ll be trying to kill the Lyme bacteria, while rebuilding my immune system after its 6-year fight. Erin and I will be heading out for an initial consultation, and then I’ll return for treatment.



God continues to be SO good to us in all of this! His people have encouraged us in countless ways, He has made His direction clear, He has provided insurance that will provide about 50% of most things, and He has drawn our family closer than ever! While I desire to be up and profitable in whatever future place of service He has for me, we want to fully learn the lessons of the valley first!



Thank you to all you have have prayed and ministered to us—whether we’re aware of it or not. We sense God’s people praying—and some days, that’s the confidence that brings us through the day!
