Oh I am soooo happy for you Helen!!! I will be praying for the both of you
but I already know you are in good hands; both above AND here on earth!!! I
just wish mine were near that time!!! I won't be getting my surgery until
September (my office said that if I took the time now, I would have to use
all my sick and vacation time and if it is longer than that, it will be
leave without pay and we TRULY cannot afford that!!! Soooooooooooo, that
means September. One thing that keeps me panting though, is to share in the
trips alot of you will be making to the hands of Drs. Reich and Redan. We
are TRULY BLESSED that God has heard our prayers and blessed the hands of
these two men who together with God, sets about to heal our broken and
battered bodies and minds!!!! How can we think anything else? Have not all
of us prayed for some kind of help? Our voices carried up to Heaven just as
the Jews called on Him before they were freed. I do not propose that what
we experience is on the severe level of the Jews' plight, I am just using
this example of a people in pain and distress. We have overcome!!!! It
will take time for the Drs. to get to all of us, but believe me, we WILL!!!!
Continue to have the faith people, do whatever you have to do to get the
surgery -- I am!! I am breaking into my 401K to get it done but what good
is having money when I retire when I may not be here to enjoy it? I can
assure you, there is absolutely would NOT have been able to continue this
into my golden years, NO WAY!!!! That scares me because I would have lost
control and that would have been a disaster!!! Anyway, keep chins up and
prayers held high; they ARE getting answered!!!!!!! Love to my family,
yours in Christ, Laura.
