My Reason

My sweet Elijah has used every wish, every prayer, every day to ask for my complete healing. I knew in 2008 because God told me when I first started getting really sick that things were going to get much worse but He would heal me only when His timing is right and He receives the glory for my healing. For those of you that do not know, I have Idiopathic Gastroparesis caused by a genetic condition known as Autonomic Dysfunction. I am currently on IV nutrition through a central line and on several medications. I had a gastric pacer implanted in 2010 to alleviate some of my symptoms and it worked well for 6 months but my nerves quit responding and I finally had it removed this January. In other words it did get much worse. I start this blog now because I know God will not let my baby's faith die.

Day 7

I am so ready to get to New Orleans but I don't want to get my hopes up too high because I have been let down so many times. I really need to get past this cycle I put food down and it never stays I stay weak and in pain. It is time to get past this even though I have had much worse weeks. My children want their mommy back, my husband wants his wife back, and I want my life back. People see me and say, you look so great, and I have a hard time responding to that because I sure as heck don't feel great. Normally I thank them and say by Gods will I am getting better every day. I hate this disease with a passion and I wonder if I will ever have a good relationship with food once I am healed. Now I don't eat because I know how bad it will make me feel or if I do eat, I eat whatever and however much I want because I know it is coming back up no matter what. I have pushed it down and taken meds and forced it to stay down but after a day or two it always comes back up and believe me it is so much worse then. Clint hopes to remodel our home and open our kitchen and finally have a second bathroom. With this disease and a family of 5, 1 tiny bathroom is quite a challenge, but if is the hand we were dealt and we have counted it all blessing. Not many people can say they have a house note of only $250.00. God provides our every need and always so much more. I still don't have a reservation for New Orleans which is weird because I normally Priceline check out the hotel rates directly and ask for patient discounts but I just don't have the energy. It is always okay to post comments on here if you have something you want to say and as always keep the faith of a child!
Lots of Love
And Laughter,
Betsy
