Just thought I'd let the world know that Mandy seems to be doing a little bit better. The Lord's really taught us a lot in 6 weeks of marriage. We've qute a bit about the part in the vows that says "in sickness and in health," particularly the sickness piece. For my part, the Lord's been teaching me a bit about compassion and selflessness. Not easy lessons to learn, and certainly not things that I'd have wished on Mandy for anything. Still God often demonstrates His goodness and His love for us in ways we don't understand.
As far as actual details go, we've learned a lot about different drugs, particularly the hallucinogenic kind. Mandy was finally able to see a lung specialist a week ago. He believes that she had some sort of viral infection that caused the nerves in her airways to become oversensitized. He prescribed a cough suppressant and rest. She seems to be doing quite a bit better, but there are good days and bad days. We'll see how much progress she's actually made when she goes back to teaching this next week.
Thank you so much for your prayers. They mean more than words I can write.
