Update 4.13: Molly slept terrible last night. Terrible. She is exhausted. She saw her neurologist today. He is trying to manage her sleep, or lack thereof, and we have no idea whether it will work. Nothing has helped so far. We should know in a couple days. I'm not sure I've seen her this frustrated over her health since 2008. Thanks for continued prayers.

Brief update (4.12): Molly had about 5 better days in a row after some significant time off of her part-time job at the school and a lot of rest. Still not great, but better. More functional in daily life. Some of her brain fog issues have gone away for the most part, though she has remained easily exhausted.
The last two days things have turned worse again. She's barely sleeping, and we can't figure out why. We assume it's making symptoms much worse. It's been linked to times of increased symptoms in the past. I'm taking her to her neurologist tomorrow morning in the hope he'll take this another step and figure out what, if anything, can be done.
We are hoping for answers soon. We are praying for God's help and healing, and for her to continue to place all of her hope in Christ when circumstances at times feel hopeless.
Continuing in prayer.

Steve, Molly and Fam -
I am so embarrassed to admit that I was not aware that Molly was struggling badly again with the symptoms. I just now took the time to catch up to read on what is going on...and my heart is broken. Bless her heart. I can not imagine the daily struggles she is going through and how to find the energy to overcome them. Molly - my prayer for you is to take one day at a time. As much as you want to fight the symptoms daily - accept them (for now) and believe in both your heart and your mind that YOU WILL GET BETTER. Lean on that family of yours...they are a strong team! Please let us...your family know if we can help in anyway. We are there for you and love you very much. Hang in there girl...time will mend. xoxo -Keli, D, P and G
