UPDATED 11th October : Update on Phon, Pastor Boonta and Bow

October 4, 2013 Filed Under: Prayer Points, Thailand Prayer Points

prayerUPDATE: 11th October John writes

Just spent quite a bit of time talking to Boonta on the phone, and here is the latest from him. He was able to talk to the doctors this morning and here is the results – the brain scan and spinal tap came back positive for another “bug” – I don’t know what else to call it at this point. It is supposed to be smaller than the parasite, but can cause just as much damage and the parasite. The treatment is dangerous and can cause damage to healthy brain cells in some cases. So before treatment is begun, they want to be able to see the “bugs” and not just evidence that they are running around. At this point it is unknown as to how long this is going to take. Now, the doctors do not want her to go home until this problem is solved.
Present costs are running about 1000 baht per day, or $32.00 US. This provides lodging and food (three meals) for three people.  Praise God he has provided up to this point; pray for his continued provision for Phon and Boonta and Bow.
God Bless, John and Maeo

Thank the Lord for a diagnosis. Pray that He will continue to heal her and provide for their needs.

 

Thank you for praying. Phon has been up and down, at times suffering great pain, unable to eat, growing increasingly weak and at other times, there seems to be hope when she was able to talk and eat a little, but there is still no diagnosis…

It is 9 pm here and Maeo just got off the phone with Boonta. Phon has been receiving tests all day today and had the last one at 6 pm. According to Boonta the possibility of cancer/in the blood, blood infection, virus have all been eliminated, but still no positive diagnosis – waiting the results of the final tests today. Phon has started eating a little and was able to sit up a bit today. Bow is enjoying her stay in the Air conditioned hotel room with TV to watch. Boonta and his nephew take turns walking back and forth to the hospital to be with Phon. Bow is normally taken over in the evening when it is easier to find a place to park.

…We are praying that the tests today will give the doctors a positive diagnosis they can give to Boonta tomorrow and then prescribe a course of treatment that will cure the problem. There is also still the possibility of a brain tumor of some kind.

We ask that you praise God for the progress made so far and that he will continue to heal Phon and strengthen the faith of both Phon and Boonta. Thank you and may God Bless and keep you all in the palm of his hand. John and Maeo
