I am lost!

September 10, 2012

Guess what? Still boring!! Yeah!! Life being boring is great news for me.  I am down to two pills a day and 15,000.  My count may fluctuate up or down as they get my dosage right.  I have a sonogram tomorrow.  It will tell us how well the baby is growing and we can finally set my due date.  At my last appointment, he was measuring 5 weeks early.  I am so excited, I think but I feel so lost. I am in a state of wilderness.  What is the purpose of all this?  Will my pain become something great? While visiting with my doctor, I noticed that he wasn’t as happy as he normally is.  So I asked him what the matter was.  He explained that his daughter was going through Melanoma which is a form of skin cancer.  From his look, I don’t think she is doing well.  So as of today, I am starting a prayer list.  If you need prayer, let me know.  I will post your first name only and reach many for prayer for you.  I am going to start the list with Michelle, she should be preparing for transplant today.  The next is my doctor’s daughter, please pray for healing.  Gina and her husband also need some prayer for continued strength.  And as for me, please ask God to do what he sees fit for me.  Thanks!!!

Boring....

Good Morning!! It’s been awhile! The good news is not much has been going on.  I had a sonogram a few weeks ago.  Malachi is a little over 2 weeks ahead of schedule.  He was measuring 1 pound 11 ounces and 14 ½ inches long.  He is strong and everything seemed to be going well.  My goal blood count in preparing for the baby’s arrival is 20,000.  I am down to 18,000. YEAH! The doctor’s has also reduced my medicine intake.  Instead of 4 a day, I am down to three.  Life to this point has been somewhat boring but I do praise God for it.  I have two people who were in my shoes I can talk to.  I am in prayer for my newest friend Michelle.  She is about to undergo a bone marrow transplant.  She has to go through 8 days of chemo and will lose all of her hair.  After the 8 days, her brother will come in and they will start to extract his marrow and give it to her.  Wow!  But when it’s all done, she will be cancer free.  I have some research to do but I am thinking this is the way I want to go.  I don’t want to be subjected to medicine and cancer for the rest of my life.  I am praying over it.
