I spoke to the doctor this morning. He got the report from the radiologist, and there are no tumors. There is, what he called, non-specific white matter, which could, be the beginning of MS. That is a very remote possibility, and our doctor actually doesn't think it is. But to make sure, and since Paul does have dizziness issues, he's sending him to a neurologist. So on to another doctor we go. We have an appointment tomorrow at 1:45 MT. There may be lots things that can irritate me about small towns sometimes, but I have to admit, I am blessed by the fact that we can get into appointments so quick and easy. Thank you for your continued prayers. I might try to put another entry out to explain the other decisions we have to make, but again, right now I want to get this update out for you all. I am blessed to know it's not a tumor, and though I'm a little nervous, and obviously don't want it to be MS, I know that the Lord is in control. And as I read this thought in a devotional the other day, and the Lord showed me more about this line of thinking; I can not decide what God is like by looking at my circumstances, I will become disillusioned, confused and angry. I need to know who He is by His word.
Hey girl, at least you have news and its better than NO NEWS at all...just the same its going to be a stressful time until all things are ruled out, pray that the Lord will bring guidance and knowledge to the Dr who will now be looking at Paul, so that he is a wise man and will be the physical hands of God as you guys figure what this "white" stuff is all about..
It is so special that God is showing you and you are hearing Him throughout this whole episode in your lives. It reminds me of the verse in Colossians 3 about setting our minds on things above and not on things of the earth. I don't think we should be so spiritually minded that we are no earthly good but as long as we make His home our reality and not this earth and the things that ensnare us, we will be ok. I'm praying that no disease or earthly labels would distract from the reality of our life to come.
..." I can not decide what God is like by looking at my circumstances, I will become disillusioned, confused and angry. I need to know who He is by His word."
That is said by a person that the Lord has or is( or both) working on. Having to go through trials the Lord changes you. Then, when you see others who are going through things and who have kept a open mind and a tender heart . There is a .... mark of the Lord. I see that in you my SSiC. (((hugs))) The Lord is doing great things in you and I want to encourage you. You are gaining wisdom the Lord is instilling in you. PTL It isn't easy but you are more and more beautiful for it.
God Bless my SSiC (((hugs)))
In Him<><

Thanks for taking the time and sharing this journey with us. I'm praying for you all. I'd also like to say, "thank you." Your strength and faith helps me see a better way through some of the things I've been struggling with.
Praise God for no tumors! We will walk beside you through your next steps of doctors. Keep us posted. IT sure took a long time to get those results!!! Glad you got them. You're family is in my prayers.
It is not a tumor. Praying the Lord gives you answers. I know the frustration of not knowing. I have three friends with diagnosised MS one actually has MS, one was told she had MS and was on the drugs and treatments for 25 years and they discovered she has Lyme's Disease. The third one also has Lyme's disease. So my recommendation is the do Extensive Lyme's disease testing.
Also check out West Nile Virus testin as well if you live in tha area.
Praying
Because of Jesus, Bobbie
Thankful that it is not a tumor also and praying that it is not MS either. What a great devotional to touch where you are - a good reminder to all of us. My continued prayers are with you and Paul!
We will continue to pray for you and your husband! What a time of decision and change for y'all!! It can be daunting and exciting all at the same time!! We pray for clear direction, that God will open doors and shut doors so that you will be able to see clearly His perfect plan for you!! Keep us posted, in the meantime, we'll pray!
I am a wife and mother of two. I started this blog to share the things the Lord shows me in my journey as a wife, mother, homeschool mom and His daughter. And in it all to "grow in the grace and knowledge of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ."
