Mike's treatments were reduced from twice a week to once a week on September 1st. The last two weeks he had become weaker culminating in a visit to the emergency room and subsequent admission to the hospital on Sunday. He rapidly declined over the course of the day and became unable to feed himself or put on his glasses. Fortunately, the neurologists in Fargo were able to consult with Mike's doctors at Mayo to perform the tests he needs in Fargo. He will have another EMG test, a CT of his chest, abdomen, and pelvis, as well as receive a nerve biopsy this week. Mike has begun receiving five days of IVIG and steroid treatments, and after his first treatment, he was showing signs of improvement. We are so happy about that. Needless to say, Mike was frustrated with the setback, we are praying for the best and hoping the doctors can provide insight on the best steps forward. 

Thank you all for your continued showing of love and support.

Love,

Mike, Kim, Jesse, Courtney & Elizabeth
