Father in Heaven we ask that you touch April and heal her give her your peace. In Jesus name we pray. Amen I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is. ABC's Of Salvation Admit you are a sinner. Rom 3:23 Believe in Christ. Acts 16:31 Confess your faith. Rom 10:9-10 If you believe there is not God, than just die. For without a God you can do this.

Today is the last doctor visit before I visit the surgeon and the hematologist. After insisting that my doctor help me find some answers, he released me from work on medical leave till we discover the cause for my many health complaints. A series of blood tests revealed anemia, but not an iron defficiency. The Urinary and colon incontinence were accompanied by tears, humiliation, and frustration. After the initial gynecological exam, I was informed that my uterus was the size of a sixteen-week pregnancy and probably filled with those nasty fibroid tumors. The CA125 blood test precipitated an order for a CT scan because I scored a 96. How about that? I should have had an A! Considering that the normal scores are 35 or lower, alarm bells started. The CT scan showed a 19 by 15 centameter mass on my left ovary. They couldn't find the right one in the scan. That's almost 5X7--the size of a small picture!! Since the blood tests came back they way they did, a hematologist as been called in for consult. Hmmm. Wonder what he's gonna tell me? Bad blood, perhaps? Well, lots of folks think that anyway, lol. So today I have the ultra sound, and Tuesday I have the remaining appointments. It does cause me to have questions though. Wonder if I should call in an endocrinologist to manage my insulin pump. This might be a little much for my family doctor. And, I wonder about the DNR thing in my living will? I'm a bit young not to try, don't you think? Lots to wonder about. My belly hurts most of the time, but my animals amuse me and I pray lots. I talk to friends on the phone when I csan and pray lots. I guess I don't get on the computer much, but I pray lots. LOL. Can you join me? Even so, Lord Jesus, Quickly come! Hey, I'm not giving up, just trying to give God the glory. Smile. I will disappoint you and even fail you sometimes, but Jesus never fails. He never sleeps, he never slumbers, and in the grand scheme of life, He runs the numbers. In The SonLight of God's Love, April Stahl
