July 12 Update on Mike's Treatment

Hello Family and Friends,

We just received more news on Mike's bloodwork.  He is holding his own.  His bloodwork has either stayed the same, or improved slightly with the exception of a single liver function test.   This is not surprising when you think of how much medication his poor liver has to process.  We are grateful that through your prayers the Lord is holding back multiple side effects that many patients are experiencing.

His main symptom right now is extreme fatigue, causing him to rest and sleep most of the day. However, this is a good thing towards his healing.

Aaron has learned and experienced the mighty power of intercessory prayer through YWAM.  Mike and I have also caught the vision of how God works through prayer.  We would love to pray for YOU and any specific prayer needs you have.

Please email Mike at mgfishes@bellsouth.net  for any prayer requests and if you do not want to be specific, just send them as a "private prayer request".  You and God know what they are.  We will keep a journal and pray specifically for you and record how and when He answered your prayer.  (Maybe not the way you presumed, but He always answers, and in retrospect, it always works out for the best).

Mike cannot do much right now, but HE CAN PRAY.   We know that almost everyone has something they need in their lives.  From tragic to minor circumstances, the needs are always there.  Please allow us to give back to you as you have given so much to us.  We are so grateful to all of you for your continued prayers and financial support!

With love and blessings,
Mike, Carolyn and Aaron

  1. Mike,
    I'm tracking with you brother... Were on week 5-6. My viral load is almost undetectable! Praise God but my red cell count is low and the doctor wants me to start the injections too. I've convinced them to allow me to wait a week and as long as I can still breathe they will hold off for now but it cannot go any lower.

    Good news is I will only have to be on treatment for 6 months. Thank you for your prayers. We are praying for you also... Candy
