I started this blog for all of you that are praying for Larissa as she goes through this trial with her poor health.--Ruth
We are calling this blog Toad's trials because "Toad" is Barry's pet name for Larissa.

Interesting exam
Larissa had an appointment yesterday. The appointment was not with a Dr. but with a guy that started doing a thing called Neurolink after he came home from the mission field sick and went the round of Doc, MRI's etc. just like Larissa has. He thinks she has parasites and some mercury poison. His exam was weird but interesting in that he found problems in all the areas we know there are lesions etc. (pods of brain and liver) He talked about how the body goes into a cycle where it can’t produce energy. His description of this cycle is exactly what Larissa is going through. Please pray that this is not just another dead end. Larissa is trying to not hope because there’s been too many let downs in the past. He thinks he can have her functional again in 3 to 4 months. Once her system starts working again she won’t need any special medications, which would be wonderful since she wants to head back to the mission field. He calling what’s happening Mitochondrial dysfunction, but unlike mitochondrial disease he says it can be cured. (Mitochondrial disease is what Pam Sligh’s doctor specializes in and is Larissa’s next appointment)---Ruth
