Report For Duty!

11 year old Michael Russell needs a
"Shield of Defense"!
Please Lord, HEAR our prayers!

The following came straight from his Mom and Dad;

http://www.neurologychannel.com/rsd/index.shtml

For 3 weeks now Michael has had problems with his left arm. It's been drawn up and no strength and in a lot of pain. We've seen his pediatrician, a neurologist, acupuncturist, chiropractor and an ER doctor. 3 of them have come up with Michael has RSD. Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy. A painful nerve condition. Michael has had an MRI, a CAT Scan and blood work done, all coming back normal. Michael on Friday has a scheduled EMG some electric test to his nerves which the Doctor says is rather painful. Please pray for him on that day the the Lord will intervene and it will not be painful for him. I have no idea where to go from here except on our knees because the link up top doesn't give a cure just a treatment for his pain. It also doesn't give a good recovery time because some people have been dealing with this for years. Please pray that God will give the Doctors wisdom and that God will do a miracle for Michael. He will be starting independent studies so pray we can keep up on his studies. At least we won't have to worry about how much school he is missing. The school has been very accommodating.

Thank you in advance for your prayers,
Gary, Tamera & Michael

Keep Our Girl in CONSTANT Prayer as well!
No man/woman/child left behind! We are all in this together!

Forge On in unending prayer soldiers!

Michael & Family,
Sorry this comment took so long! I tried to post it a couple of nights ago, but was having computer issues. I hope that by now you all have received some more information about treatment for Michael. It is good to get the word out. Maybe someone out there is going through the same thing or knows someone who is. We are thinking of you and hoping for a speedy turn around.
Sincerely,
Tonya Sandoval & Family
