Forget-Me-Nots Along The Way

Please Pray

Hello Blog Friends...I am asking that anyone out there who prays, please lift up my husband Tim.  He was recently diagnosed with Graves' Disease (autoimmune hyperthyroidism) and has been pretty miserable.  We had to go back into ER both Monday and Tuesday with atrial fibrillation.  He has been started on Coumadin to thin his blood to reduce the risk of stroke.  Fortunately he is very healthy otherwise and his heart has been withstanding this.  Friday he will be going to have his Thyroid burned out with radioactive Iodine.  We were hoping to find and use some of the other treatment options, however, the severity of the hyperthyroidism and the risk of death secondary to heart arrhythmia from that, just have not left us with many options.

Please pray that he will be safe and not have any reactions to treatment and that the treatment will be effective.  He has to be away from us until Monday night, which will be difficult!  So please pray for me during that time too.  I am exhausted and fighting some migraine issues and asthma.

This has all been scary but at the same time we have seen the Father's Hand guiding us and directing us and providing for us. I am so thankful for all He does for us.

I know some people find it selfish or strange to ask prayers for yourself, but I believe so strongly in prayer and I know God works in the prayers of His chidlren.  I love my husband so much and the thought of losing him is just unthinkable, so that is why I am asking for your prayers.  Thank you.

Hopefully I will return to "normal" blogging soon!
