As the journey begins...

Bonnie, my sister, has recently been diagnosed with Localized Amyloidosis. It is a disease that the doctors say behaves like melanoma. They say the prognosis is bleak. This blog will document our journey, as a family, through this and serve as a home base for our friends and relatives to stay current with what's happening and for prayer.

Right now, we know it is in her lungs and are unsure of where else it may be developing in her body. Her insurance is a form of Medicaid and we are learning the protocol. When she was released from the hospital a week ago, they told us everything could be handled out-patient. Momma is working to find providers of her insurance that is currently taking new patients. She is with our mom and Pops (our step-dad).

  • Philippians 4:19: And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.

Please feel free to comment or email me with any questions or, especially, scripture that we can apply to this and pray. Also, if anyone has any experience or information about this disease, please, please email or comment.
