A little health update
A little health update
A bunch of you have been asking about my health so I thought Id give you a little update...
although there isnt a whole lot to update you on (but I guess thats a good thing!).
Praise God I havent had any episodes in almost 6 months!
This is by far the longest I have gone episode free.
Yippee!

The doctors wanted me to redo a bunch of big scans/tests including the radioactive Octreotide Scan a month after Hudson was born but since I have been feeling great and the tests are so inconvenient (I cant be around the kids for a few days, cant feed the baby for 2 weeks!, etc.) we decided to redo some blood work and other non invasive tests first.

The tumor marker that came back really high a few months ago had gone down a bit (probably because Im no longer pregnant) but is still much higher than normal.

Im still waiting on another test result before I meet face to face with the doctors to see what our next step is but for now it sounds like they still want me to redo the scans. We will see though.

Whatever happens the Lord has been meeting me and ministering to me in such a sweet way during this season. During one of the sessions of the womans retreat with our church our speaker Margaret Ashmore taught on the sovereignty of God. It was so. so. good and such a great reminder that God uses everything that happens for our good and His ultimate glory. Whatever happens Ive already seen God use this mystery disease for my good and Im trusting that He is and will be glorified through it.
Ill keep you guys posted as I know more.
