As you may know, our son is taking regular medication to avoid damaging his heart. He has been diagnosed with Rheumatic Fever and as a precaution to avoiding rheumatic heart disease, takes several medications. On top of that he takes inhalers to keep his pulsox and peak flow up as low oxygen in his blood was why he was medivac'd last year. A medivac is a very pricey thing, and we do appreciate all of you who helped us recuperate from that financial hardship.
We have been informed by our local clinic that their are new laws regarding medications which limits our availability to important medication for our son as well as increases the cost of getting them.
One such medication is his Seretide Inhaler. This costs us $67 per month. But we were informed yesterday that this one medication (of his multiple medications ... poor kid has to take a lot of pills in a day)... will increase to $110 per month.
That is an additional $516 USD per year, or $43 USD per month. That is a solitary medication. We're still waiting to see how my wife's goes up, and the other of my son's go up.
We would appreciate prayer specifically, what I would love to see is a miracle of one type or the other, or to have God do something totally outside my vantage point and wow us.
Two things can happen,
-Someone new joining us for financial support and partnership for each new medication increase. This would be miraculous because you almost never gain new financial partners while in the field.
or
-Somehow the price of medication dropping or staying the same. I do not know how that will happen, but with God it's possible.
Would you join us in praying in this manner?
Right now our medication budget is second only to our grocery budget. Each time the medication goes up, we decrease what we eat. We have made several sacrifices in this area lately, and are doing everything we can to be good stewards. It would be so encouraging to see God work through your prayers.
thank you for praying.
