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 150

I know it has been awhile but I am still here. I was recently diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia. So now I have to go have a colonoscopy to be sure I am not losing blood. The worst thing is the fatigue. I am already weak and can't do much of anything but this just makes it worse. Please pray for me as I go in next Thursday for testing. I am still scheduled to go to to Mayo in Jacksonville, Florida. At this point we have no finances to make this happen but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt God does. We seek first the kingdom of God.. and all these things shall be added on to you. Clint was a bit worried the other day because finances are getting right. He was going in to work off site and found a $20 bill in the parking lot. He looked around and no one was there. He has been known to chase people down in parking lots because he saw them drop money, so God made sure there was nobody around to remind Clint that He can even rain money down from the heavens. Just a little reminder that He is and has been in control from the beginning. Noah and Hope and Krystian are away at summer camp so I hope I have the energy Friday to take Elijah on a mommy and son date to Johnny's and the movies. He has been so good this week. His second grade curriculum came in and we are both very excited. It has a lot of hands on and spatial teaching, there are tons of great learning games and on top of all of that it comes with excellent test prep material. Back to my GP, I already told you how weak and fatigued I am. If I stand up for too long or just walk across the house I am shaky and dripping with sweat which is weird because I never sweat, in fact I am always freezing. I have also been having real trouble keeping my pain and nausea under control. I pray I at least have the energy to wash a load of clothes tomorrow. I have been having really crazy dreams lately. I normally have very vivid dreams but this is a new level. I need to go take some medicine and try to sleep. Let's all keep the faith of a child!
Lots of Love
And Laughter,
Betsy
