McElhannons

So I've been meaning to post about this forever and felt like I was waiting for more answers before I put it on here but I'm not sure when that day will come. I think only the Lord knows that day. Our sweet friends, Justin and Misty McElhannon, from church are going through a really hard time. Justin has been diagnosed with 4 different auto immune diseases (RA, sclerdoma, polymyositis, and lupas) recently they added a fifth one that is affecting his lungs called interstitial lung disease. His lungs are the main concerns right now. He has been treated here in San Antonio and also taken two trips up to the Cleveland Clinic where they are treating him too. They have been amazing to see their faith and trust in our God through all of this. They have 3 boys, Bryce (who is about to start kindergarten), Brody, and Braxton. We love them all to pieces and just want Justin to get better. Please be praying for this special family to us. They are trying to live as normal as possible. He goes to work when he can but he experiences all kinds of intense pain and side effects ALL the time. He is currently on more medication that I can possible list or name. This past Wednesday night our church, FBC in Boerne, hosted a huge pancake benefit dinner for him and another family in our church. It was so amazing to see our church family come together for them. There were over 5oo people there and they had a huge silent auction. They raised $25,000 in one night! It's awesome to see the Lord work and bring people together through all of this.
