I am doing so good and just loving life! My eating is back to normal. I was able to eat a burger at my uncle Jim's on the 4th and it was probably the best burger I have had. The Fourth of July means a whole lot to many Americans, but to my family, it means so much more. It was the day my Grandad married my Granny and started this whole crazy York clan. Our lives have always been blessed, even through all the illness and other issues because we have always been bathed in prayer. My mom's family is pretty amazing too. I am sure she doesn't want me to say anything about this and I hope she doesn't mind, but when my Nanny's dementia got bad, my aunt Ann took her in, and when she got worse, Ann would care for Nanny saying it is better to have a loving hand than a caring hand. I spent much of my summers growing up at my aunt Ann's with my cousin Teri.She probably knows more about me than I know about myself. In fact, I was named after her and my dad's sister Ann. She is one very special lady too. I always thought she was the most beautiful person in the world. She has always been so good and so sweet to me. I spent many a night at her house as well. But for my parents, who likely already knew how unique I was, chose Anne, and so I became Betsy Anne.
It will take a while to get my energy to a normal level. I have been sick and mostly laying down for the last 10 years. The amazing inner strength I gained from my healing needs help with rebuilding my muscles. So I will take it slow, or I will over do it and then rest a while. Either way slow and steady wins the race. I will indeed try and keep up and I hope you will continue to follow me! May God bless you and your family!
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.
