Great is Thy faithfulness.... Lord unto me!

I was at my nutritionalist on Monday. Report was much much better than a month ago when I was there! I am Lyme FREE, but even more exciting... the Mono is almost gone too!!!! THANK-YOU Lord Jesus!!!!

I would appreciate prayers for Monday (the 25th). We plan to meet with a neurologist in Philly at 9:00. At 10:00 we need to go to the hospital (only like a block ?up?...I think) to do pre-admission testing and all that comes with that. We have like 3 hours to drive one way, and they said it could take up to three hours just for the testing. Looks like a big day but trusting God will give me strength to get through it.

Also, with the mono almost gone, and the movements still not quite as good as last fall, there must be something else wrong. We feel it's because I came off clonazipam. I didn't think it really helped very much and it made me a little loony. It turns out it did help more than we thougt it did. We are hoping that the neurologist on Monday will have some good advice concerning that.

Happy Easter!!!!

I apologize for keeping you in suspense for so long. I had a good visit on Tuesday! I got to meet a few members of the team I"ll be working with! So far they are GREAT!!! Surgery date is.... MAY 16!!! ...more details on that later...

I'm sooo ready to move on with life again! I kind of feel like I'm on a roller-coaster...better, sick again, better, sick again...etc. etc.!!! Somehow physical/emotional roller coasters don't give the thrill the real rides have!=)

Please pray that the mono would improve as there is the possibility of it hindering surgery! If, for any reason we would have to cancel the appointment, the next available appointment may not be till July!!! =(

Thankful this is all in God's hands! He knows what He's doing!

Wellll...here goes!!! My appointment to meet with some of the doctors and nuses who will most likely be assisisting with the surgery and follow-ups that come with it!!! I've already givin up trying to sort through all the different emotions that I am feel!!! =) My appointment is at 10:00 Wednesday morning.

A few specific prayer requests...
1. my mono would 'behave' so my muscles can be more relaxed and less tight and painful...
2. I could be ok and able to handle any details I should know..mostly feared are the 'gorie' ones... (I am ever so greatful that there are people who enjoy the 'alarmingly gorrie' things in life.. I tend to think there is likely is someone out there who has an extraordinary 'enjoyment' of such things, because they took all mine!!) =)
3. that I would trust God, no matter the outcome

I thank God for the way He has MANY times in the past helped me through tough, scary things... And know with all my heart He will do that just that once more!!
