Update from Carrie

 Thank you all so much for praying! My sleep study on Saturday showed terrible sleep (90 minutes total in lab conditions - those wires are awful!) but I have no apnea or heart, lung, brain, airway issues or anxiety during sleep. I mentioned today to the doctor that my “air hunger” awakening and resulting agitation has only been an issue at 5,000 feet altitude (where we live). He suspects this is a post COVID syndrome/symptom and should get better in 2-3 months from now (4-5 months from having COVID). He assures me it WILL go away. I just hope and pray that it happens SOON, and in fact, that it doesn’t come back at all. I’m relieved that I don’t need a machine for the rest of my life, although I was a bit disappointed that I can't go back with a “sure” fix. We really appreciate your prayers for grace and strength and sleep. I’m looking forward to getting home to my family!

Again, thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. I should be back in PNG with my family on Thursday night.

In Christ,

Carrie
