From the Grandmother of Alan Aycock (Robby Phelps sister) This is a request of prayer for Alan Aycock who was born with cystic fibrosis. He is now in his mid to late twentys, has survived 2 kidney transplants (same kidney), lost an eye to diabetes and has had a double lung transplant. This prayer request was posted to Tabitha and Troy, (Saturday evening) will you please have your church praying for Alan. I'm sure Deb and Rob have seen it on FB. He is experiencing AGGRESSIVE lung rejection and must go to Duke Mon AM to begin treatment that will KILL his immune system for 1-2 years. That will be a long time to endure such a lifestyle but with God's help, we'll make it. Of course, there are always God's miracles, presence, and love. Thanks!
This is the post on Alan's FB page 22 hours ago. Thanks you for posting this to our Generations Church family.
"For the last 15 years my lungs have given me an unbelievable second chance that I'm grateful for but I got not good results from the biopsy they did this week. There is a "very, very aggressive" form of rejection I'll be dealing with starting Monday. I'll fight the good fight, like always, but would really appreciate your prayers as this will be a tough fight."
--Robby and Debby Phelps

UPDATE WEDNESDAY, 8.25.2010
Alan's initial treatment for lung transplant rejection at Duke was a successful first step. The meds shut down much of Alan's immune system. Next comes an intensive month of two IV antibiotics, one 4x a day and the other 3x, delivered through a PIC line to substitute for Alan's immune system. Then, Alan stays on IV antibiotics 3x a day for a year as he rebuilds his immune system. Thank you for your continued prayers.
