It is Saturday morning, January 27th. I continue to struggle with the case of shingles which has improved ever so slowly following the conclusion of my chemo. The fact that my immune system was so weak and the shingles so severe has combined to lead to a very slow recovery. All of my recent medical tests assessing additional problems have come back negative and my low-grade infection has slowly improved. The infectious disease specialist did not think that it was caused by the rare severe bug that showed up in an earlier culture, but thought that reading was caused by contamination of the sample taken. The recent episode of blotches on my face has cleared up with the steriod treatment this week. I continue to covet your prayers for renewed strength and resolution of complications.
Lord willing, I'll be preaching the third and final sermon in the series, So Great Salvation, tomorrow AM. I look forward to delivering that message and seeing you in the services. Thank you again for all of your faithful prayers.
Pastor Brown
