More Prayers Needed

We come asking for prayers again. Madi has had some more problems this week with her temperature dropping during the night, so we went back to the doctor today for a follow-up visit. He ran more extensive lab tests to try to determine the cause of the temp drop. He also referred us to an endocrinologist at Children's Hospital to have things checked out. He said that this hypothermia is very uncommon and unusual...he's never seen it in a child before. He is almost certain it is something hormonal and that it could be a thyroid issue or something to do with the adrenal or pituitary gland. He doesn't expect to get any abnormalities on these lab tests, but if they are abnormal, we should be able to get into Children's pretty quickly. If they are normal, then we will probably have to wait a couple of months to get in. We are still hoping that this is just some sort of virus and will go away on its own, but the doctor was a little concerned because this has been happening for almost a month off-and-on.
Please just pray for the wisdom of the doctors working with her and trying to figure out her problem. Pray for patience for us as we play the "waiting" game to see what happens with her and what to do next. And, most importantly, pray for healing for our baby girl!
