GOD IS GOOD...ALL THE TIME...ALLTHE TIME...GOD IS GOOD!!

Oh where do I start? I had a doctors appointment today- actually, it was my annual- which basicall means, once a year I have an "annual" when I go to the clinic and see everyone and their brother. LOL No, but I have to see the genetics doctor, the nutritionist, a physical therapist, and then my regular doctor. (I ususally have to see the endocrinologist too, but I didn't have to today, not sure why) ANYWAYS, I got a WONDERFUL report from everyone of them and my PFTs have gone up TEN PERCENT, yes, I said TEN PERCENT since March 6!!! AHHH! Needless to say, I was SOOO happy! My PFTs on March 6th were like 51%-52% (which is terrible for me) and today they were 61%!! I feel great and my tests were so much better, even tho I have been off IVs for about 2 weeks now. I've just been on 2 antibiotics- one oral (pill form) and one inhaled (aerosal). And apparently they are doing their job! Ahh I just can't get over it! I'm so excited! God is SO good!

Oh, if you guys think about it, please pray for Chad this wknd- he will be finding out where he'll be playing this season. He will either go to Lancaster, CA which would be the High A team or he could go to Corpus Cristi (sp?) TX which is the Double A team. We are really hoping it will be TX because that would mean he moved up a level AND it would be cheaper to fly there ;) Your prayers are very much appreciated- it's gonna be hard this summer for Chad to be away from Kim and Isaiah and vice versa. 

Have a wonderful weekend!

I'm Walking on Sunshine.....

And don't it feel good?!.....

Ok, sorry. I don't really have much to say other than I feel wonderful! I'm still not on any IVs right now (the docs still haven't really called about any change in my meds). But it's amazing how good I feel...even I'm amazed! lol  

Anyways, not to sound like a broken record, but just a reminder that the Great Strides Walk is coming up sooooon! Its on May 2nd at Mckinley High School at 10 am. We also have shirts on sale for the walk for $12 :) 

Well, thats about it- I told you I didn't have alot to say! Have a great wknd!

And, I thought this picture was ADORABLE, so I figured I'd share ;)

Ho Hum...Now What?

Well, as you know, I have been on IV antibiotics for about 3 wks now since I came home from the hossy. Well, just last week, I started having an allergic reaction to it. (oh joy) The first few times it happened, it wasn't TERRIBLE, but it was really really NOT fun. I broke out in hives twice from it. Anyways, so I had a doctor appointment on Friday and we talked about it and everything and they decided to try prednisone (steroids). So I was supposed to take the steroids like 30-60 mins before the med that nite. Well, I took the steroids like an hour before my med and within MINUTES of starting my medicine, I got incredibly itchy. Like itchier than EVER before. I broke out it hives like no other, my throat got real tight and really warm, and I started coughing alot. So, needless to say, the steroids didn't work/help. So, now I guess I'm just waiting to hear from the docs to see what they come up with for treatment now. Fun, fun. 

But, other than that, I do feel good most of the time. I just get really tired and worn out faster. OH! We got our T-shirts for the Great Strides Walk this year! They look awesome! If you would like a T-shirt or would like to sign up to walk- just let me know! The shirts are $12 a piece.

Have a great day!

You Never Let Go


Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death Your perfect love is casting out fear And even when I'm caught in the middle of the storms of this life I won't turn back I know you are near And I will fear no evil For my God is with me And if my God is with me Whom then shall I fear? Whom then shall I fear?

(Chorus:)
Oh no, You never let go Through the calm and through the storm Oh no, You never let go In every high and every low Oh no, You never let go Lord, You never let go of me

And I can see a l
ight that is coming for the heart that holds on A glorious light beyond all compare And there will be an end to these troubles But until that day comes We'll live to know You here on the earth

(Chorus) Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on And there will be an end to these troubles But until that day comes Still I will praise You, still I will praise You

PS- My brother, Chad leaves tomorrow for Spring training so if you think about it tonite or tomorrow- please remember to pray for his safety (he is driving to FL) and also for Kim and Isaiah- I know it's not easy and I have no idea how in the world Kim does it!! Thanks so much.
