...Because I'm pretty sure I have it. Still have so much sleep to catch up on.
So Stephen already posted STABLE results! Thank you, Jesus, for this unexpected blessing. My heart is so torn in this temporary victory of ours; We ache every day for other friends who are actively fighting for their lives.
For several days before this MRI I knew something was not right. I asked the Lord to guard my heart and mind from lies or to clarify that vague feeling. I'll spare you the long wrestling prayers and panic attacks that followed that request. After 'the call' Tuesday night all I could do was go to bed. My heart was still unsettled.
Wednesday we got to speak with Dr. Broniscer, and he said that Josiah's labs showed a steroid/ hormonal level that was off. It's obviously not urgent, but we will be heading to the endocrinologist to see what's going on there. TaDa! Lethargy accounted for. Heart settled.
Curse that mother's intuition. No, bless that mother's intui...no curse. No, it is a blessing. I think.
THANKFUL
1. Tumor stable
2. I am not off my rocker yet.
3. We live close to St. Jude so we can talk to his doctors face-to-face.
4. Friends to listen and cry and bless us with their perspectives on Josiah's life and what God is doing because of his cancer.
Well, I feel a little less disordered after a long post and a good cry.
It's definitely a blessing and Josiah is blessed that his Mama seems to have a double dose of it.
ReplyDeleteYay! The good news makes my weekend so much better! Its been a tough couple of weeks for you guys, what with all of Josiah's unaccounted-for symptoms. But this is definitely the best news to get! I am praying that God allows you and your family to rest and relax (and get rid of you PMRISD- Post MRI Stress Disorder)! I am praying that Josiah's appointments with his endocrinologist go well and all problems are minor and solvable. I am praying that he gets time to enjoy being stable again, watching movies, eating muffins and playing around with his lil' sis. I am praying that you remain firmly ON your rocker, and keep up with that mothers intuition! Josiah is blessed that you have so much of it!
ReplyDeleteLove,

I trust my gut like crazy when it comes to things with my kids! Glad God clarified the vague feeling. Rejoicing with you that the tumor is stable. Go J Go!
