Pray for Sandy

PRAY FOR MY FRIEND SANDY! Greg just updated their blog and I learned that they have decided not to return to the DR for at least another month because Sandy is very sick with headaches. You can read Greg's post below:

Once again we find ourselves in desperate need of prayer. We spent the Christmas season in Michigan with our families and it was a great blessing. During our last week home Sandy started getting headaches again. So bad that we canceled all of our plans for that week. We waited and prayed and waited and prayed and she was getting worse, not better. Well, we were supposed to fly back to D.R. on January 8th, 2007 but instead we found ourselves in the ER with Sandy on the morning of January 7th. For those of you who do not already know we have decided to extend our stay here at home to try to get some answers. Right now the plan is to stay an extra month. Sandy is seeing a chiropractor three times a week and we are seeing doctors in the meantime. Like the doctors in the D.R. the doctors here are concluding that Sandy is struggling with migraine headaches. Sandy is trying a migraine medication called Imitrex right now, and she has been on it for about a week. The first four days brought excellent results and we were hopeful that we had found a solution, however, the last two days she has really gone downhill again. Please pray for Sandy! Pray that the Lord our God would heal her. Pray for the doctors that will be treating Sandy. Please Pray! Thank you

Tell your friend Sandy that it is a bad idea to take Imitrex for more than two headaches a week- because taking it more frequently than that can actually cause "rebound migraines" from NOT taking the medication. If her headaches are so bad, she might think about taking something daily to prevent them (there are lots of options) and then just use the Imitrex (or its relatives) for headaches that break through.
