We all experience God in different ways and are called to do different things in His name. Since my original diagnosis in 2007 He has used this to open conversations and to show people how much He loves us. I have walked along side and been a support to family and friends, as well as been supported; I wouldnt've asked for cancer but, I wouldn't change what He is using it for, for anything.This is what God and I are working on now, the aftermath.

LET'S SCOOP SOME POOP !!!LOL (FYI typing in funky mode again)
So, I saw my liver dude on Tuesday. He's a nice man, I understood everything he said which I liked. Sometimes when I see these guys it's like they have their own secret language club and i'm not a member. So I had a requisition for A LOT of tests (blood and poop) I know ooooooh, they give you what looks like a little pitchfork, I know too much detail but it was really funny, I was grossed(real word??) out but at the same time I was thinking,"oh what must I look like right now?!". Here's how I made out. Firstly, my poop test came back fine from what I could tell by the comments YAY :) My GGT is still high but is still on it's way down, red blood is looking good, white is low, but i'm having another vitamin drip on Tuesday so that'll help give me a jolt and a low count isn't abnormal given my illness. All my liver tests are out of the 'good' range some less than others and i'm no expert so I don't know how much outside the range is acceptable. I just figure if there's a problem someone will call.
I still have an ultrasound to do but i think it's going to come down to the bloodwork personally.
Getting the enzymes back on track will be the way to go. My weight is maintaing itself at 107lbs that's very good news. I'm hooked on Liberte Coconut Greek yogurt (good for my weight)it's high in fat content. I was told to eat the high fat yogurt but I water it down a bit with a lower fat yogurt only because it's really really creamy.
So onto bigger and more exciting things...My awesomly awesome daughter is coming back tomorrow! Not to live with me. I'm just the
in-between place, her plan is to find a job and somewhere to live and start the next chapter of her life however that looks.
I'm trying to think what else I have to share with you guys but I can't think of anything...hmmmmmmmmm maybe that's it. Could I actually be all caught up? Yup I believe I am. Alright then. Thanks guys for all your prayers, I am in much better head space these days, I'm feeling much stronger and tighter with God than I have been with God which is always good for a pick me up. In my Bible study group, I don't understand a lot of it, but I get little nuggets here and there. So I'm focusing now on the reality that God is my ultimate boss, I do my job for Him, He gave me my job, He employs me and decides when I'm to leave and what I learn and how I learn. So this is a huge lesson I am only beginning to learn and I have only just begun (side note: really good Carpenters song)and already I find I am rubbing my head and asking "WHY?" over and over. So, I move on into the new chapter of learning how to do life in this world that I am in. Well, I guess I did have more to say afterall.
Ok now seriously I'm going:)
Bless you, thank you. Please pray Alex finds the right job and the right place to live and they both be of Gods choosing and have His blessings on them.
This was on the first page of my Bible study session this week...
"...there is not a square inch in the whole domain of our human existence over which Christ, who is Sovereign over all, does not cry: 'Mine!'"
