health update

After getting the CT scan and a full exam by a neurologist, it looks like nothing serious was causing all my weird symptoms. If I understand correctly, what I have is something like Bell's Palsy, which usually causes paralysis on one side of the face. Mine is a mild case, and only caused numbness, but the rest of the diagnosis seemed right on the mark. Thank you for praying, if you happened to read this earlier today.

Again God has delivered me out of my trials, sparing me from a worse case scenario. I am thankful. At the same time, I am ashamed that this was brought on partially by stress. Daily I need to rely on God's strength, and not my own. Now I need to purposely take it easy until I am completely restored to health. This does not come naturally to me. Patience, endurance, and virtue? Send the trials needed to develop these traits.

Praying for you, JamieJo, that you might find peace and patience as you wait to be restored to health. And asking that your kiddos continue to step in and fill the gap as needed; what a blessing for all of you that part of this is. You continue to challenge me with your attitude. Thanks.
