Processing Some of the Things
Just gonna write a little as I'm processing things....it's been a long, hard day. I providentially also had an initial consult with an alternative doc here in Huntsville that started out as a Pharmacist 50 years ago and is incredibly kind and I know several families from church that have difficult health struggles that he has helped greatly, but obviously he is cash only, so I've had to wait until now to see him. I was scheduled for an hour consult but he spent almost 2 hours with me and waived the consult fee completely because, "I'd rather you spend your money investing in things that can help you, like labs or supplements." I'm not going to get into all those details because it was like a science lesson and so fascinating--God's creation truly is just so amazing. I'm definitely going to be trying a paleo diet (I've known for years I *should* do it, but it was just one more thing to add on top of all the things, and I did gf/df for awhile, but didn't feel a significant difference but he explained even more behind the body's inflammatory immune response even if you don't *feel* a difference) and I was able to get some supplements to start to help support my body through this intensive upcoming weeks which was almost exactly the cost I was prepared to pay for the consult--God truly does provide. He gave me a big hug and a lot of hope. My friend observed after both appointments, "Both doctors genuinely care for you and WANT to help but they have differing opinions because of their training." I'm thankful that I am finally able to have Terry Wingo from Madison Drugs added to my team--having a pharmacist overseeing my supplements and knowing the medications I'm on is so helpful so I can avoid interactions etc for things that I have to take for my lungs.........
Be praying for Jord too--it's hard to process things and as much as you know progression is coming and that I've been feeling bad and that an admission was coming, when it actually all gets here and the complexities that go with this one, it just hits really hard. I don't know what we would do without Jesus--He is truly our refuge and strength, our very present help in trouble. This is really hard, but God is oh so good and He is sanctifying us in it and this is ultimately for our good and His glory. As I've said over and over, I do not know what the future holds, but I know the One who holds that future, and He is trustworthy and He is all I truly need. This is big and scary, but my God is bigger and mightier and nothing is too hard for Him--and it's in HIS strength--supplied moment by moment--that we will get through this trial to the other side. And now for some rest--I'm beyond exhausted in all the ways. So thankful for all the love and support we have--it truly makes all the difference in the world!
