Things are slowly getting better. We didn't get to waltz, but we did get to go to the Kingsbury Opry tonight and got to visit with so many friends that we haven't seen in several weeks. We enjoyed the music and fellowship and the change in scenery. Joel got a huge applause when we first walked in the door. VERY NICE feeling! We weren't sure if we were going to make it. Joel had a little more saga added to his novel that he is working on. He had to have a tooth pulled this morning. His last wisdom tooth. He says now he is going to be stupid. If he's going stupid, he is still going to be amazingly smart. He's has always been a MR. FIXER of just about anything that we've ever had. I hope this is it, as far as any more problems. I know it is like I am making things up. Really.....my brain doesn't work that well. ha!!!
It seems like we are falling apart and always have "something" to whine about, but OH MY GOSH!!!! We are so blessed. We have other friends that are in such need of prayer and are facing some serious days ahead. One good friend just found out that she has to start chemo next week. Her name is Agnes.
Also, our grand daughter, Michelle, has been diagnosed with Lyme disease. She has been in and out of drs. for several yrs. now and treated for migranes, shingles, etc. Our son took her to a specialist in Nacogdoches that has been running tests. Given that the other possibilities were Lupis, Fibromyalgia, Polymyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Guillain–Barré syndrome, or Multiple Sclerosis, this is a great diagnosis.
There are some concerns due to the length of time she’s believed to have been infected, but the overall outlook is promising. She is very fortunate she didn’t end up with encephalitis or meningitis.
She started Doxycycline last night, which is one of the best treatments for Lyme, even in later stages. We’ll have blood drawn and tested regularly. There is a possibility that she’ll need a spinal tap in the future to check her cerebrospinal fluid for the Spirochetes.
My brother was still waiting this afternoon to be moved back to the rehab. facility. We've had phone problems the past couple of days, so didn't hear whether he was moved or not. I was there this afternoon and he was still waiting.
Please keep Joel and Bill on the prayer chains and add Agnes and Michelle.
Again, we have received another blessing from someone. I didn't know my heart could hold so much love, blessings, and gratitude. I am really really really humbled by such generous acts. I've gotten some of the sweetest emails, cards, and notes with God's reminders of how much He cares, Him being in control, His promises, etc. VERY UPLIFTING!!! Again, Thank you seems so tiny, but I don't know what else to say. We love y'all and know that when we get to the point of being able, we will pass it on.
Keep encouraging someone!
Love and Prayers to all!
