Hello everyone. I thought I'd give you all a quick update on Clayton. He is slowly improving. He has a bit more energy and can breathe a little better. There are 3 doctors working on him, so we should get some answers soon. He's had lots of tests, but we haven't gotten any results yet. We are hoping that we will hear something more tomorrow. His spirits are up and he wants me to say THANKS TO EVERYONE for fasting and praying for us. It has made a difference! What a blessing it is to have so much family that loves us, even though we are apart, we can still help each other. Our goal now is to get lots of protein into him as his albumin(protein in the blood) is extremely low. The kidney doctor is also trying to figure out why protein is leaking into his kidneys. The Crohn's doctor started him on some meds today, some low dose steroids. I told him that he unfortunately won't be able to compete in the Olympics now. Steroids. He smiled. That's better than I've seen in the last week and a half. He still has fluid in and around his lungs, and they are trying to get rid of that as well. So, I will TRY to write more when I get home tomorrow. Thanks again for all your support and WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!!! Family is everything. Love, Cynthia
