They're back....

A couple of weeks ago, I began having the shakes and getting dizzy. I thought that I was on a medication that was causing these side effects. I went off the medication right away and then I began throwing up. I thought that I was going through a couple of days of withdrawal. I went through a couple of days of this and then I stopped throwing up. I thought I was getting better. In a few days I started throwing up again and after trying to get into my doctor and not getting to see her right away, Dan took me to the ER.

There, they gave me 2 bags of liquids and several shots to keep me from throwing up. I went home that night. I went back the next day because I was throwing up again. I got another shot and another bag of fluids so I wouldn't dehydrate.

On Tuesday, Dan took me down to the cities to have another MRI and a meeting with my neurosurgeon. The MRI went smooth and we went up to the doctor's office. We were meet by our nurse. She opened up the conversation with a little small talk and then she got down to business. "The MRI doesn't look good". She told us that the tumors were back. There wasn't just two but now three. In four short months, they had filled back in where they were taken out and filled in one other small place.

What do we do with the information? We were both in shock. Why us? Why now? Why again?

I still haven't processed everything. I know that I still trust God. I have to, once again, go back to what he said to me. I trust Him. I will follow Him.

Please pray for us. We know that God is faithful. May we see goodness from His hands soon. We believe that He has miracles in store for me, for our family. Pray that we see it!

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us. Ephesians 3:20

Just know that you are constantly in our prayers. I can't do anything else from this far, but I will keep praying. God is enough.
Love you,
