Not Much Change

Mike just got off the phone with Shane this morning, and there has not been much change in Ryland's condition. Doctors have told them that the fungus actually looks a little bit worse. Shane said that the antibiotics that they gave him aren't really doing much. They are going to give him a steroid shot this morning and see if that helps his body fight off the fungus. If nothing else helps, they are talking about flying Ryland to Dallas where he can hopefully receive better care. Keep praying!!! I'll update more hopefully sometime this afternoon.
