Hello Friends,
I know ... I haven't been here in a really long while. I missed you all. So much has happened. I didn't mean to ignore anyone; I just had to take time away. Extra special sincere thanks to Denise at Shortybear's Place for her loving help to me and my husband when I had surgery last year and for staying in touch with my husband and for being such a prayer warrior while I was in ICU when my kidneys failed. I almost died. Many of you know as you prayed for me and I thank God for each of you. To God's Glory my kidneys started working again after three months of dialysis. Please forgive me that I have not been back here to share with you again. It was never my intention to hurt anyone or leave you out of my life and I hope you can forgive me for not checking in with you. It was at that time I decided to spend more time with God. He spoke to me then about my time while I was ill. To God be the Glory great things He has done. I now spend more time with my Lord, my husband, family and volunteering at a crisis center. I still may not blog often but know I still think of each of you I came to know. I hope to stop by each of your blogs and check on your personally very soon. I pray you all have been well and blessed by God.
God Bless you all. Love and hugs!
Hello Friends and Family,
It is really me, the Grandma around here! :) For over a month now you have been receiving updates written by my husband and posted by Denise at her blog Shortybear's Place. I am blessed Denise would do this for me taking her own time and space on her blog. Much love and hugs to Denise. You ARE a God send; a true prayer warrior. I will never forget what you did for me and hope you will forgive me that I was unable to stay in touch.
Special thanks to my dear hubby for getting the updates out to Denise and also to many other dear blogging friends who emailed or left comments on my blog. I must tell you each prayer was felt. After spending almost two weeks or more in ICU sleeping, (all still a blur to me); I cried as my husband read to me messages many sent with prayers, good thoughts, and well wishes.
I'm still in dialysis 3 days a week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. This past Thursday at dialysis, the doctor informed me my dialysis port/catheter was not working properly and I was not getting full use of my dialysis time as they couldn't get the port to work. Therefore, he told me to go to the hospital Friday morning and he would place it in my chest again. Something I was not looking forward to because it hurts badly and is so very tender with stitches which were still in there from the first port they placed in me back while I was in the hosital. Before they placed the new catheter into a new port area of my chest, they did what they called "vein mapping" of the veins in my arms in the event they still see no changes in my kidneys working. They placed an IV in each of my thumbs, wow, that is a tender area, and then ran some type of dye into the veins of my arms to map the veins for a future shunt they may have to place for dialysis should 'they' decide my kidneys are damaged and will not ever work again.
I am NOT giving up on my kidneys working. I am currently "resting in Jesus" and praying for strength, peace, and healing.
