Don Denton’s Update
This is Anne, Diane’s friend in St. Louis. Don arrived last night via ambulance about 8:30. Diane & Josh came in about 11:30pm (after she’d have a few hours of needed sleep.) Don is stable this morning, but having extreme headache pain, nausea, vomiting, & intermittent fever: signs of relapse . He & Diane met with the whole Neurology Team this morning. They have decided to keep him off steroids and do intensive testing over the next 3 days to look for diseases outside of Steroid Responsive Diseases. The Biopsy of the Brain will be a very last resort because it is so risky and invasive.
Diane expresses her gratefulness to everyone for their help and what a blessing you friends have been.
She asks for prayer that they will be able to manage Don’s awful headache pain (even IV Morphine isn’t helping), and that they will find something that is treatable in the next 3 days.
