Praise Him, Praise Him

So, I’m online this Sunday afternoon to give a quick update. In about 30 minutes, a lady will be here to train me on giving myself an injection, for I begin taking the small intestine growth hormone today. Though we’re no longer in the Univ. Nebraska IRP program, a hard-working lady at the drug company went behind the scenes to help get this approved for me.

We’ve been so blessed with the numbers of people working on our behalf, people we don’t know and probably will never meet. I am just so grateful.

Anyway, I will inject this drug once a day for 23-28 days, and I’m not sure how long before we’ll supposedly see results.

I do have a huge praise to God to share, though. He’s already supernaturally at work in my small intestine. I still have bad days every week, but the good days have been really good days. In fact, this past Monday, I ate half a bagel for breakfast, a baked potato (with butter and salt) for lunch, and I forget what I ate for dinner, but I didn’t have diarrhea until 7:30 that night!! I went almost all day. Amazing! And then, yesterday, I was having quite a bit because I cheated my strict plan. I just had to have a Chick-fil-A breaded/fried sandwich. I mean, the diarrhea was worth it (almost) because it was just how I remembered…dipped in Chick-fil-A sauce, I was in taste sensory heaven! So, for dinner, Jeff made ground turkey meatloaf (with onions and special sauces since I can't eat beef), Spanish rice with tomato chunks (didn’t eat the chunks), and I made Bisquick biscuits with real milk (accidentally grabbed the wrong milk), shredded cheddar cheese, and garlic.

Get this.

We rushed through dinner so we could ride around looking at all the Christmas lights. I did not have diarrhea (dinner was at 6:00) or an upset stomach until this morning! THANK YOU, JESUS!!! Two days this week have been wonderful. The bad days were pretty bad, but the good days were just SOOOO good.

So, keep praying for me. God hears and he’s faithful to answer. Much love to each of you!
