Journal entry by Jacob Schram —
Hey everyone,
It's been awhile. I was hoping to never have to give another health update, but figure I should just so you know.
Unfortunately, this past month I've been having a lot more trouble. After 3 months of getting stronger and carefully becoming healthier, my body is pushing backwards. After 4 appointments this week, doctor's are indicating that some of my muscles are just deciding not to work. Pain shooting down both legs has returned and many things have fallen out of place.
Now, to be clear, it's not as bad as I'm making it sound, but the doctors and I are trying to figure out a way to combat this so it doesn't get any worse. None of them seem to know why this is happening again, but we caught it before anything really bad happened. We are currently looking into more specialists who might be able to help.
Sarah and I would appreciate the prayers. We know God has a plan for all this and will work it all out for good, but that doesn't make the journey easy. Thank you all for your support and love!
