Requesting continued prayers for my granddaughter.
Thank be to God and the prayers of His faithful. The pituitary adenoma (tumor) was creating excess ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone) which caused the Cushings. It was successfully removed and her ACTH levels have dropped to normal. She is resting at home and is able to manage the pain with ibuprofen which is a real come down from morphine. Please keep her in your prayers that she will be regain her customary good health.
