Today we found out that Alan is officially in the study with the trial medication for his lungs. He will begin the infusions on Thursday and continue every three weeks for forty-five weeks.
We really feel that God is working. Two hundred thousand people have idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis with thirty to forty thousand more being diagnosed each year. This study is accepting only thirty participants throughout the entire USA, and Alan is one of them.
There are no medical cures, but the first trial of this medication has slowed down the progress of the disease in some patients. We pray that his lungs stop deteriorating and that his lung function improves.
Even though science can’t cure it, God can perform miracles. We would love to have a complete cure but know that might not happen. We are open to whatever God plans.
During this whole process, we can use lots of prayers. There has been a significant decrease in Alan’s lung function and what he is able to do. We are making lifestyle changes and appreciate each day. Every day is a blessing, and we want to make the most of each one.
And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19 (NKJV)
Alan and Rebecca
