Joy, Joy, Joy!! Well, we are home...the kids were so excited to be home. Though they missed Nana's cozy home, they were truly thrilled to be back in their own cozy beds-Mommy and Daddy too!
Thank you to my Mom who so kindly kept us and served us while we were at her house. It was a wonderful time of much needed rest!
A Quick Update, then a few pictures...Next Post with pics in a few hours...must run errands first...
PRAISE THE LORD!!!!
The medication I was put on is working really well!! I have felt such a difference. Yesterday was the first day where I had a glimpse of energy that I have not felt in years!! I actually felt well enough to begin walking on our treadmill-which I did-but I think I went a little overkill with the daily activities, I was so energized. So today I am tired...I must pace myself.
The way this medication works-basically it is reconnecting the sensors in my brain. The sensors in my brain have been rewired incorrectly throughout pregnancies and/or hormonal changes. They were telling my body to have the symptoms I was experiencing for no reason. My brain was on overload-nonstop. So the medication is a means of grace where it is reconnecting the right pathways for my sensors/neurons. In response to this medication I have slept better, am able to discern what is true or not, whereas before I couldn't quite think or process things through as easily, I am able to think more clearly, as well as making decisions more quickly-in short my brain seems sharper than it has been in years-truly years!!! So praise God!!!
Please continue to pray for faith, strengthening of my body, and not to doubt or fear that I will return to the state I was in before. To have confidence in the Lord for His complete healing!!!!
Thank You-the Lord is answering prayers on my behalf!!!!

Praise the Lord Erika! God is sooooooo good- soooooo faithful!!
I will be praying that the Lord will continue to heal both of us :).
Love you! Gisele
Erika,
I was just thinking on my way to work today, that your medication would probably start working soon. I'm so glad you are beginning to feel better. I will let those who have been praying for you here at SRC know you are improving.
Love,
Mimi
Thank you both-
Oh me too Gisele-I am praying for us both as well, for complete healing but endurance and faith as we walk through these trials...I have been thinking of you LOTS!!! Will give you a call...
Erika,
So glad your medicine is working! Praise the Lord for using it to help you! It's crazy how far out of whack we get and don't realize it till we are better. I'll keep praying for you.
