Our cousin Ellen, the one with the paralyzed stomach, has an appt. to the Mayo clinic in two weeks. She is mighty sick and although she has been discharged from the hospital, she is having to go back to the ER pretty often for IV's. The medications they have tried her on, have been big disasters as she has had an allergic reaction to all of them. The good news is, she feels GOD's love and knows he has her back.
The family that suffered the plane crash are all improving. The little boy is now home with his grandparents and after surgery for a broken jaw and wrist, he is doing well. Eating and drinking normally. The mother is getting ready to be released to a rehab facility. She is speaking in complete conversations and improving every day. The dad is still in critical condition, but he is ALIVE. That in itself is a miracle. Today, the doctors were supposed to put in a feeding tube and a trach. I haven't heard an update on that.
As for me, after three horrible weeks, my pain is almost gone. After having a dental procedure, my pain just continued to get worse. The whole left side of my face hurt severely...the pain was constant. I couldn't eat, sleep or drink and was taking pain pills to survive. I can't even put into words how bad it was....I prayed and cried...a lot. I made a trip back to the dentist and he admitted that he didn't do a very good job...I was shocked. My new fillings were way to high and had to be ground down. The fillings being too high had compressed my teeth on that side of my jaw and irritated the nerves of all the teeth. That's why the pain was so severe and shooting up my head and into my ear. To top things off, having spent sooo much time in the dental chair in such a short amount of time, has messed my jaw up. One thing has led to another and I won't lie, I have been in a very dark place. I have heard people say that pain will make you think crazy things and I had never understood that, but now I do. I felt that Satan was pulling me one way and Jesus was constantly intervening on my behalf. Almost like a tug of war match. I really feel like I was taken right on the edge of what I could handle emotionally and physically. Praise GOD, today I have been mostly pain free. I still can't talk, eat hard foods, sing or whistle (and that right there is hardest on me), but I am not eating pain pills anymore. Thank you all for your prayers. I love you all!
