I am still here, still sick, still on total IV nutrition, and still being blessed! My Noah is planning for his upcoming wedding, he is also in biomedical engineering at Tech, works as a full time youth director, and has given several Sunday night sermons. His fiancee Krystian has been such a blessing in all of our lives. Hope, as a Junior in high school is on track to be Valedictorian, head of the FCS, Editor in Chief of their Journalism department, constantly comes up with new ways to introduce people to Christ. Just like we prayed before she was born, she is so full of life, she cant bottle it up! Elijah is still being homeschooled, but he has this innate wisdom that no one can understand. The things he knows, things no one has taught him constantly blows our minds. Not only are our children brilliant, ,giving, loving, and beautiful from the inside out; they are also all so very funny. Laughter constantly fills our home. Clint is so funny that his boss wants to set up an evening for him to do stand up comedy.
God has truly blessed us! I know by His stripes I am healed, my body just hasn't caught on yet. I know He is blessing our family in everything we put our hands to. I also know He can bless you abundantly and I am praying that He will.
This is my journey to healing from a rare and ugly disease. I hope to be an advocate for all rare diseases that are often misdiagnosed or worse left to think it is not real.
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.
