- "My flesh and my heart may fail, but GOD is the strength of my heart and my portion forever" -Psalm 73:26 Diagnosed with Late Stage Neurological Lyme Disease in 2008 after being sick for 2 years. It's now been 9 years since I was diagnosed and I am still fighting. I was diagnosed at age 15 and am now 24. In March of this year, I got sepsis from my port and almost lost my life from the infection and damage it caused. I was on dialysis for kidney failure, had liver failure, heart failure, a mass the size of a plum in my heart, a damaged heart valve, and so much more. I had open heart surgery on April 3rd, 2017 and have now had 4 more heart surgeries since then. Because of the extensive open heart surgery, my heart now relies on a pacemaker to beat at all. During the open heart surgery, they had to replace my tricuspid heart valve with a mechanical one. I've spent almost 3 months in the Heart Hospital since March/April. It's been very difficult, but God has a plan and He is always good! I will praise Him in this storm!

Invisible Illness Awareness Week
I had to take Beta Blockers once and I couldn't even tell I was taking anything (in a good way...no side effects) and didn't have to stay on them long, so HOPEFULLY you will have the same experience.
ReplyDeleteLucky you!! I'm already having side effects... So much fun!
ReplyDeleteThis is random, but yesterday my group was in the Potter Room (in JL). I was putting away the kiddos Bibles, and stumbled across a bible that had once been yours. I know this b/c there was a bible with your name on the outside.
ReplyDeleteIf you are missing one of your bibles, it's in the Potter Room. :)
I hope you are doing well with the Beta Blockers.
Wow that is crazy!! I am not missing one of my Bibles but thanks for checking! :) haha I wonder when I used that Bible...
