2 steps forward....1 step back.

Hi friends~

Yes, it is me, I'm finally writing, after the urging of my mother, but as I told her I have a couple good reasons for being so tardy on my messages. One I really don't like to talk about myself, and two...well I really don't like to talk about myself.  So this is for you Mom...even though she was just here helping out and doing all those "mom" things we all love! 

The last few weeks seemed like I was on the right path, however, since God likes to keep us all on our toes, He decided to take me back a few steps.  Two weeks ago, I started having severe abdominal pain, similar to what I had when I had the bowel obstruction.  This pain would subside on it's own after 30-40 minutes, so I fortunate enough I never went to the ER.  So the good  Dr. Levey ordered another abdomenal CT just to make sure we weren't heading down that path again, and thank goodness no obstruction was seen. Th they're diagnosing me with "bowel spasms", now doesn't that sound fun!  NOT!  With this new diagnosis, comes yet another medication, (Walgreen's and I are becoming great friends)!  Pray this new medication will bring ease to these spasms, and that this will be a short lived gig.

Good news is that I continue to be insulin free!  My blood sugars have been great, so I am so thankful for that.  Now we just need to work on the rest, and life will be good.

Once again, I am reminded how lucky I really am.  We learned some news last Friday, that an old family friend's 17 year old daughter was killed in car accident, and another family friend learned that his cancer had returned and the outcome was pretty bleak.  In an instant their lives are changed forever.  I pray that our precious Savior can give them the comfort and strength they need, but more so it reminds me how lucky I am.  I'm alive, I have a loving, and caring husband who is right there when I need him most and a wonderful supportive family. 

Thank you again my dear friends for your continued meals, supportive texts and email, and for your endless prayers.  Without you, this journey would have been an endless battle.  God is Good!

Love,
Lisa
