Prayers for Mark Kelliher

Since I got back from Indiana my Rheumatologist has had me on high doses of steroids in an attempt to knock back the inflammation in my hands and crank-back the pain level and grip failure. Today he told me to stay the course on the high dose of Prednisone and he upped the biologic shot dose I take every other Friday (like tomorrow), both of these, though standard treatment for severe Rheumatoid Arthritis, act by compromising my immune system so the white blood cells stop eating my joints. I ask for your prayers. This is a really difficult time with every joint in my body and my hollow organs inflamed. Thank you -- Mark Kelliher Men's 123rd
