Miracle.
It’s a miracle! God has heard our prayers and in His mercy He has made a way for me to get up out of my sickbed of nearly five months.
I was hit hard by a stomach bug last week that landed me with 19 hours straight of throwing up every ten to thirty minutes, intense nausea and extreme stomach pain - which was resolved by nurse friends kindly coming to my rescue with an IV and meds in my bed. I’ve come through a few days of recovery with a migraine, fevers, a pulled muscle in my side, and a blood clot in my arm from the IV, but I am healing, and most amazingly - I am up at around a solid 25%, and can sit up and talk with some energy and can even slowly walk around the yard!
God has given me this miracle by allowing this latest suffering to push me to need an IV that I believe infused me with the electrolytes that my body needed (and can’t absorb on its own) to be able to get up! He is always good and He hears our prayers.
So even though I am still fragile, we are planning on flying all together to the States this week!!! I’m so incredibly thankful for all of your prayers for me and my family!
M.E.
Thank you all for your precious outpouring of love, care and prayers for me over these long four months. It has been a long road, but I am recovering albeit ever so slowly. It feels like I take two steps forward and then fall six back, but my progress has to be measured by the week instead of the day and there has been progress! I have not run a fever since Easter - praise God! Vann has put me on a safe, new treatment of mega doses of vitamin B1 and so far, it does seem to be helping. I have still had setbacks, but am tentatively hopeful. I am able to talk with more alertness and energy, and can sit up for a few minutes every hour and on good days I can even walk a little bit in the house.
We have purchased tickets to fly to the States in June to take Corynn to Cedarville University, but I am still not in any condition to travel. This is a deep desire of my heart to be able to be with her through this stage of her life, so could you please pray that I will be able to go? It would take a miracle.
Today happens to be M.E. Awareness Day and I so hope that there will some day be a cure, but my only real hope rests in God alone. He can heal me, but if not He is still good, and He will be glorified in my illness.
