In the meantime I know it's hard and questions go unanswered but believe God is allowing this for a reason. We might not see it now but He promises to never leave us nor forsake us. Somewhere someone is being brought to Him by what you're going thorugh. You're in my perpetual prayer that God will give you the strength to hold on.<BR/><BR/>Question: Have you considered looking into Mayo Clinic?

A 'friend of a friend'...Wellllll, hello new friend! A 'friend of a friend' let me know about your situation. I in turn, emailed everybody I knew around the U.S. and the world concerning platelets and prayers for you. As a BIG side note, I wanted you to know that I've had a liver transplant and a baby boy, and was given 12 hours to live when our son was born. Our 'baby' is now almost 20. I had the transplant down at Barnes and was in what I called 'Barnes Bed & Breakfast' for over 4 months. I say this to let you know that I realize some of the unseen blessings that our precious LORD will allow to unfold in the midst of your illness. People's lives will be touched, people will become connected and His love will be shared...thru you! People will know that caring for others, praying for others and helping others is such an integral part of His will for all of us.And the good thing is....He will never give YOU more than you can bear in this process. I felt such an overwhelming presence of God's love while I was sick that it radically changed my life. What He is doing thru you will impact eternity for ubknown others. Just thought you'd like to hear from one of these 'unknown others' personally. I will continue to pray for you and yours and God WILL give you all He knows (in HIS limitless wisdom)that you need. In His love and with prayer...CindyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30600487.post-90451448286148540402007-08-16T12:37:00.000-05:002007-08-16T12:37:00.000-05:00After I read today's post I scrolled back down to ...After I read today's post I scrolled back down to see your smiling face, reminding me that this too shall pass for you.
