Update on Whit 4-16-13
Hey my FB people,
It’s been a long time since I’ve written an update and I have a bit of brain power so I thought I’d try and write quick and tell you all about what God’s doing in my life right now.
This winter has been hard and long. Now that the trees are starting to bud and it smells like sweet dirt outside, I’m getting a bit of spring fever in my heart,spirit and body. I’m supposed to be resting as much as possible right now and I’m fighting to stay down more so I can heal up faster but spring fever has me wanting to be out and about more. Dangerous mix! Ha!
I got to go to New York a few weeks ago to visit a very dear and very sick friend and that was so good for my soul and attitude, but also a good reminder that I need to rest my body since, weeks later, I feel like my body is still trying to recover. It’s always been a hard fight for me to find the line between how much to do and how much to rest. Right now, I just want to go everywhere and do everything!!! Silly Whitney! J
About a month ago I was told that the Lyme disease is eating away at a section of my neck. I now wear a neck brace when I’m out and about, especially in the car because it’s very painful to hold my own neck up right now. I have faith that the doctors are wrong and this is a temporary problem and isn’t going to be a problem forever.
I’m currently not doing any lyme treatment because the antibiotics I was on weren't helping and all the natural stuff we have tried, I just throw up. This is frustrating because I’m having to fight so hard every day to keep going, all the while knowing I’m not getting better. I currently spend 8-20 hours a day hooked up to an IV. That is the way I get fluids. Without it I don’teat. Thankfully, I have a new pump that makes it’s possible to medicate while I sleep. I’m not used to the noise of the pump yet so I don’t sleep well, but we are working on it. I’m so thankful to be able to medicate at night! It’s such a great gift!
My heart and my spirit over all are doing well. I’ve had to fight for joy so much more than I’m ever had to this winter and I still have my moments of deep sorrow. But I’ve been learning so much about what it means to trust the will of God and to fight for hope and not just let my feelings control my days. I know that my God has a great destiny for me and that works one day at a time and learning to live in the moment and stop trying to control the future so much.
Some days are great and happy and I love to just sit and pray and be with my God. Other days are hard and I have to really fight for my life and for my hope, but I am happy and I am doing well.
I get really overwhelmed sometimes with writing and keeping up with everyone and I’ve lost a lot of really great friends this winter, but I’m thankful for those who have stood by me and for those who have prayed even when I have trouble communicating back very much.
My God is Good!
I live a blessed life!
I am so thankful for each day I’m given.
God bless everyone!
