Dear friends..

Would yall please keep us in prayer the next couple of days. As anyone can see I am up at an ungodly hour on a Sat morning.. No sleep at all.. Last night I did something to my back which was already in bad shape. I cannot feel my right leg... When I attempt to walk. It does not bend.. does not move right at all... My back feels like there is a knife imbedded in it permenantly. If I move my left arm... forward or backward... same feeling as in my leg... This is very scary and not a clue what is going on. Cannot go to the ER unless I am dyin right now as Rob is gone to work and my dad cant really tend to the kids real good. It might come down to it if it doesnt get better though.

Then yesterday about noon found out that I was sitting in a puddle of water in my living room floor. Yep got up off the couch and wow the whole living room was soaked! There is a busted pipe somewhere in the house and not a clue where! The landlord is in California until Tues so it will be then until I can get it fixed. Thank God dad lives nearby for water needed things.. if I could drive to get there it would be good.. but the kids are able to walk there so they will walk over this morning and get showers etc.

Then to top it all off.. last night about midnight Jaidon the one who has already been sick.. lets out a blood curdling scream..looked at her and her mouth was gushing blood. When she was in seattle they put spacers on her teeth and one of the spacers poped out and was cutting her gums and tongue. I am supposed to take her to the dentist this morning. If I am able to drive we will see how the 2 lortabs I just took work if not she will not be going :(

So as yall see the drama has found its way back.. I covet yalls prayers today I know there are many far more urgent then these but I thank you for the fact that we all have the ability to pray for one anothers needs and I know yall will!


Do want to add one good note... About Jaidon and the stomach issues.. Was finally able to get ahold of her dad in Iraq last night. And her dr had asked her over and over if she had any seafood while in Seattle.. she swore no.. well last night her dad informed me that she had 2 different kinds of fish on the last night she was there and she also had shrimp salad. She thought it was chicken as he breaded it and she doesnt remember it being shrimp as he told her it was tuna salad to get her to eat it so we assumed it was out of a can tuna anddidnt worry about it... so the issue of her illness may be figured out now as she has actually eaten seafood and more than likely thats what made her this ill! We are so glad that we now know this as it clears up a lot of things!

Thank you sis. I am fixin to head back to bed for a few min. I think I have slept about 2 hrs maybe 3 all night. Have to take Jaid to the orthodontist at 4 and then to meet her reg dr at the hospital at 430 *thank god they are next door to each other* and he is going to give me some prescriptions for her since we now think we know whats wrong! That way they can be working while we are still waiting on the rest of the tests to come back.

Great and Mighty Lord God,

You see Amazing Grace's desperate cry for help. Lord, we humbly ask that You would

put into motion the answers to these situations. You alone sees the heart of Your

precious ones. Lord God, give peace and assurance in the midst of the storm, in Jesus

Name!

Thank you all for the prayers!

Having another bout with the back right now actually and just took some more meds and fixin to go try and pass out while they are working.

The flood is under control thanks to a shut off water main out front! LOL Went and got one of those knobby thingys so I could turn it on long enough for the kids to jump in and out of the shower since its too cold for them to run to dads every time they need a shower between now and Tues.

The little one is doing some better... I dont even remember if I told yall this part or not but we found out she did eat fish!!! And so that mystery is resolved.. she is on meds and God willing she will be ok with the stomach mess soon! The tooth issue that occured last night. Happened because her perm. tooth was actually breaking thru the skin and some dope of a dentist in Seattle knew this was fixing to happen but still put the spacer in and it forced it off. So the dentist took it all the way off today. Now all we have to do is get her a retainer until they can put her braces on as the spacer actually crowded her front eye tooth too much and turned it sideways!!! So I think minus my back the drama is all down to a dull roar! The kids just got home from youth service and a guy from church is picking them up in the morning so they still get to go so all is happy here! Love yall and thanks again for the prayers! Say a prayer about my nerves so that I can go to the dr on Mon or Tues *he said Mon but I was thinking everyone was closed so not sure if it was a mistake on his part or not*

Ok... I am fixing to break down and take myself to the ER I think. Dont know that I can wait till tomorrow afternoon possibly or Tues morning in this much pain. Not to mention having the weird tingling in my leg again... Its just really scary but more than that painful... trying to get ahold of my sister and see if she can keep my youngest for the day and the older 2 just got home from church so they can handle themselves... Say an extra prayer for my peace of mind please... Havent had this much pain since my wreck 5 yrs ago!

Praying- I think it is best you see about yourself. Sometimes, it is something simple that the doc can do to relieve your pain and your mind. And I am not into pain.

Still trying to get ahold of my sis to make sure the lil one is taken care of... and agree.. I hope they can find something! I havent ever had a problem with pain but its to the point of making me so sick to my stomach I cant even look at food or I think of the pain and I feel like im 100 yrs old when I try to walk... And its just more than I can take right now... thanks for the prayers...

Will continue praying my sister, go to the ER and she if they can help you get some relief and find out what exactly is going on with the tingling in your leg. May be just a pinched nerve.

Ron

AG, you are one tough sister!
I am sorry to hear of all that you are going through.
Your back sounds a lot like a pinched nerve which can be extremely painful.

You are in my prayers.

AmazingGrace

Thanks Ron,

Tired of being tough though! Oh well,,, hubby was just singing the song.. thats No Mountain for a climber... Guess gotta let my legs get a little stronger because they rested a while and became weak.

They have pretty much determined it is a herniated lumbar disk.... or so they said. I have a dr appt Tues morning and then they will send me from there to a specialist. This is no fun.. he added some meds and took some away and oh joy... Gotta love this.. so yall will unfortunately see even more of me now as I cant do much but lay here and veg... thanks again for the prayers

Yea me too... Oh well! My nephew.. who has in the past caused me so much trouble came over tonight to spend th night.. he has just walked to my dads house with a rolling basket of dishes to wash (remember no water right now either lol) and he made my bed and even crawled up here and fluffed all my pillows LOL... then cried and asked me if he had done this (dont know if you were here or not when.. but he attacked me a few mos ago and he is totally feeling like this is his fault) I told him no but in all honesty that I think was a part of it.. He is just being such a doll! My kids are all gone except for him and my son.. the girls went to my sisters a few min ago.. they were fighting so she took them away...

Cindy
01-20-2008, 07:55 PM
Oh my goodness. How old is he? Did he physically attack you?

AmazingGrace
01-20-2008, 07:59 PM
Yes he is 11 and yes he did... long story I posted somewhere... but yep.. he is in counseling now and doing much better but yes.. he put a huge hole in my living room wall and kicked me in the back numerous times... he actually wasnt even allowed back into my home until a few weeks ago.

Cindy
01-20-2008, 08:02 PM
Wow. That is sad. He must have a lot of hurt, fear, and anger inside. Will pray for him.

AmazingGrace

Sis C and everyone else who prayed I want to Thank you all so much! I actually slept all night last night without pain! I am sure it was the meds and I did wake feeling uncomfortable but nothing like it has been. This morning I feel like the mac truck found my bed though... but I am so happy because I slept! Fixin to go back and try to sleep until at least noon but I just wanted to say Thanks again! I know God is hearing the prayers and they are greatly appreciated!

Hugs
AG!

Glad you had a more restful night. I have back problems as well & when you have a night where you can sleep, that is something to be excited about.
