This is for the child I never knew. You were taken away from me with such cruelty. I dream of holding you in my arms, of you playing with your brothers and sister. How could I have know that someone I trusted would decide on their own that I was too poor and too young to have a second child? Sure your daddy and brother and I were living in a 1 bedroom apartment. I was going to college. We didn't have much but all I needed was a test from a doctor to get insurance to take care of you. The nurse thought she knew better. She convinced the doctor it was for the best. I was so young and nieve. I trusted them. The doctor asked me if I planned you or wanted you. I told him you were not planned but would be loved and adored. Why didn't he listen? How could he do that? He took an oath to do no harm. He broke that oath. He took you from me without even asking. Before I knew it or could do anything and you were still with me but my womb was broken. I just had to go home and let you go. I held you in my hand. You were so tiny. I am so sorry I didn't protect you. I dreamt about you last night. I know I will see you one day. Until then know that I love you so much!
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.
