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 419

I am laying here running my IV medication with Elijah set up on the computer doing his spelling lessons. Then we get to read together. I really hope my pain and weakness will subside so I can give him my whole hearted attention. I love having time with him and wish I could make it last forever. Noah left this morning and that was sad. I keep thinking it will get easier but it never does. I already miss my Noah and Krys. Hope is testing this week and if you live in the area I know all of your kids are. I think it's kindof crazy to start testing the day after spring break but that's not my decision to make. 
Even though I shouldn't have to I am going to keep fighting my insurance and fighting to get the care I need. There are specialists in my condition I just can't find them or get them to treat me because their workload is overwhelmed. 
I was thinking about my grandad, Jerry York, today and all the amazing things he did in his life, from fighting in 2 wars to making it his mission to help sick kids and sit up nights praying with strangers over their children. There are so many things he will never be recognized for, but he was so much more than a great, honorable gentleman. He always put others ahead of himself and though he was human and in being so flawed like every one of us, he was truly one of the great ones. I love you and miss you granddaddy! I know while you were here you worried so much about me, but now you can sit and talk with Jesus about His plans for me!
