Steve McVey

We recently requested prayer for Steve McVey (https://update.gci.org/category/prayer/page/3/). Here is an update from Steve from his Facebook page. Steve is now back home.

Good news! The doctor has given me a definitive diagnosis. It’s autonomic neuropathy, a nerve disorder that affects involuntary body functions, including heart rate, blood pressure, perspiration and digestion. There are many, many reasons why it happens and those reasons are often never conclusively identified, but the main thing is that they know how to fix it. (My doctor thinks it’s genetic with me.) In my case, blood pressure doesn’t regulate like it should. It’s way too low and with the slightest activity it decreases. That makes the heart rate accelerate to a ridiculously high level. Not being able to overcome the malfunction of the arteries, blood doesn’t reach the head and down you go. The good news is that medicine will regulate it! I am so thankful for that fact.

Thanks again, my dear friends. I know 100% that I’ve had all I need at every moment through this ordeal because of the Christ who indwells me but, at the same time, I also know that His family finds strength (as I have) in sharing our love and prayers at times like this.
