Gary's last appointment about two weeks ago was great. All his test came out with better results than 6 months ago. We praise the Lord that He has created us wonderfully. Praise Him for leading us to doctors, websites, treatments and truth. Better test results is not how it is suppose to be for a ALS patient or even a PLS patient.
We can not wait to see how things are going to be once they complete the dental work that is needed.Last monday they pulled all his upper teeth. I predict that there will be more improvement. Thats the only thing that can happen, only positive, because he is getting the siver ( mercury ) fillings out of his mouth and removing the cause of infection in both his upper and lower jaw. This monday he is getting the bottom teeth pulled. We are looking forward to seeing how this will help with his over all health.
We were able to purchase humidifiers to put in the home which helps his breathing and of course we all have noticed a big change in the home because of the humidifiers. We would highly recomend them to anyone it is great.
The stress taken off our shoulders for getting the windows covered in plastic. Having the extra quilted clothing to help keep his body warm, also helps with our stress. Having a fresh stockpile of his supplements ready for this month, which is so nice. Getting our utilities and monthly bills caught up adds to the feeling of less stress to both of us. It is amazing how heavy the burden is when you can not see a plan before you. Not knowing how everything is going to work out. We try so hard to put that plan together but yet another situation comes up to cause the load to become even more impossible to manage.
I guess that is what I needed to learn more about what is Faith, a deeper meaning of faith, a deeper faith, its like hanging from the cliff and you hear this voice that wispers quietly to let go...and everything in your mind, in your gut, in your heart tells you to not let go and that you have to keep on fighting to hold on...in your ehaustion you know you have to find the strength to not only hold on but to pull yourself back up to saftey and that all you have is you. Well then you realize it is The Lord who is wispering to you...let go...just let go do you trust me...do you have the faith...so you do and then guess what you drop 2 feet to solid ground. Having faith...praticing faith...wow that is a adrenaline rush. Thank you Lord for teaching me yet another lesson of faith. "Lord I cried out to you for our needs to be meet, that we had no other means of anyway all these could be met, and you provided through many, oh so many, more than we ever thought or hoped for, more than the finacial was the love that was shown. I was so unaware of my own need to just see the love poured out to our family at this time. Thank you for loving me through so many family and friends."
We all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with friends and family. Hope you are all enjoying your Holidays with loved ones.
