WFW - Isaiah 53:5

I'm so glad I'm able to participate with WFW again.  I cling to this verse because of what I've gone through a month ago. I continue to claim this promise with all of my heart.  This is not just for me, but for all who are suffering with sickness and diseases. His promise and His word stand no matter what.

Hop on to Lori's for more WFW entries. God bless!!!

Remembering Dad

We went to visit Dad last Saturday to bring flowers and candles. Then we went to Papa John's Pizza for lunch.

We miss you, Dad! Love you very much! See you someday in heaven. 

I've Noticed

... That I'm always excited every morning. Excited to start my day. Excited to know what God has planned for me today. I like my new outlook on life now. It's like I have a new set of eyes.  Speaking of eyes, I've also noticed

... That lately my vision became blurry. Maybe it's because of the meds I'm taking. If this worsens, then I have to go back to my rheumatologist. Maybe she will lower the dosage a bit. Maybe. I don't know.

... That I can now boldly ask God for whatever in faith, in the true sense of it. I just have the confidence now to ask God with boldnesss.

... That I am calmer now. 

... That I am more at peace with myself. 

I believe this is a good thing. Though life has been full of challenges, God's word remained steadfast. 

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

Wonderful News!

I had another set of blood tests done this morning and doctor's appointment in the afternoon.  Got the results the same day after 4 hours, in time for my check up.

Praise the Lord for His goodness!

My rheumatologist said that my blood test results were good.  I'm recovering pretty well. She told me to continue Prednisone 60mg and Plaquenil 400mg a day until my next blood test and check up  on November to see if she can already taper the meds down.

Thank you, friends, for standing with me in prayer for my healing.

I'm so grateful to the Lord for this wonderful news. All glory and praise to Him!

Just a Short Update

Early this morning, I weighed myself in a sitting position, because I couldn't see the numbers on the weighing scale standing up. I lost my balance and fell on the bathroom floor. Argh!!!!  That didn't stop me from going to a client this morning on my own. I went back without anything tragic happening to me. Thank God!

Today, I got the results of my blood test which was done yesterday. My creatinine level is normal. Praise God! My BUN is a little bit elevated. My WBC and platelet counts are normal. Woohoo! My RBC, hemoglobin and hematocrit are still low though. I have another set of blood tests tomorrow morning, then check up with my rheumatologist in the afternoon and nephrologist on Friday. I pray to God that the results will turn out good. 

Finally! My nanny/girl friday arrived this afternoon. Woohoo!
