So glad you know Him!

I was dia...Oh, Krista, how I relate to your story! I was diagnosed with breast cancer, went through lumpectomy, chemo, and then radiation. Shortly thereafter, I told the docs I felt tired. "We've checked your thyroid and you're fine--Take a nap!" they said. "When I take a nap, I wake up feeling worse than when I laid down". Nothing was done. Fast forward to nine months later--I was 6 weeks pregnant, with a continued low-grade fever--thought I needed fluids, so went to the ER room. They drew one vial of blood and knew something bad was happening. "Cancer is back", they said. "No, cancer was last year and baby is this year" I responded. I began chemo for AML (acute myelogenous leukemia) and went into a coma. My husband said I frowned when comatose and he told me that I had lost the baby.<br />I finally woke up and had to learn to walk again and to write my name.<br />About six months later they found ONE match out of 4.8 million people! Praise the Lord Jesus Christ! I went into the hospital and came out 32 days later. As I was recovering, I asked my husband about adoption. We got a 7 month old girl from Vietnam! I flew over, and she was 11 pounds! Then, in the Spring of 2008, I found out I had bronchiolitis obliterans. I had trouble carrying my baby in Vietnam--thought it was asthma! I've been in the hospital for coughing up blood for a week, and my daughter is now five,but it is difficult for her to understand why Mama is so sick sometimes. We live a truly blessed life, and I feel fortunate to ha around to have raised her this long! <br />Thanks for sharing your amazing story. It is helpful to read someone else's story,....gives you perspective! <br />Thank you!<br />Because of Jesus,<br />DianeDianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12839569076603383793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871035698665124938.post-19501599835285218602012-01-31T08:20:37.645-08:002012-01-31T08:20:37.645-08:00What a journey . . . and you are still walking the...What a journey . . . and you are still walking the path.

I highly recommend it! I'll never forget how heavy you were on my heart when you were unconscious for so long. God answers prayers!!!!!!! I was nursing Abigail during the night so you got prayer in the middle of the night. :) I am sure most all of the homesteaders were praying, among others. We are so glad you are doing sooooooo much better, but understand things can still be tough. Who said, "Most men live quiet lives of desperation"? Thank the Lord for salvation, peace and his Holy Spirit, not to mention family and friends, so that although we have tribulation we can be of good cheer. :)JJ Gobbell; Allison Gobbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09000128975772304386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4871035698665124938.post-3118825577639831982012-01-29T20:13:41.374-08:002012-01-29T20:13:41.374-08:00@Melanie - Thanks Melanie.

Nutrient-dense eating is my plan starting with a 7-day raw food cleanse tomorrow morning which consists of some kind of drink for bkfst and lunch, a raw food dinner and some fruit in the a.m. if I get hungry and some raw veggies in the afternoon if I get hungry. On day 7 the dinner is steamed fish.
