Marty started experiencing extreme fatigue in April, 2012. Since this time his health has been declining. He has undergone countless tests including blood, urine, MRI's, Lumbar Punctures and CT scans and so far the results are inconclusive. MRI's have revealed that he is dealing with a neurological issue. We have consulted with neurosurgeons at Hamilton General and the next natural step to help with diagnosis is a biopsy on a brain lesion. We pray for the hands of the doctors and nurses that this biopsy may be successful and that a treatment plan can be made. Marty is scheduled for biopsy surgery Tuesday morning, August 7. We put our hope and trust in our Great Physician.
Psalm 131:3 "O Israel, put your hope in the LORD both now and forevermore."
