Hello everyone! I saw that I hadn't given an update in quite awhile. So sorry about that! After the last Dr. appointment, I was put on a double dose of my medication, which seemed to work in an opposite way than when I was put on the medication the first time. This time, instead of being overly tired, I was so emotional about things (especially after Mon. with the car crash and everything, which I see I forgot to ask for prayer about and update you all about that! Sorry again! you can read about that here... http://younghomemakers.blogspot.com/2009/10/awake-at-330am.html ...and here... http://younghomemakers.blogspot.com/2009/10/update-on-crash.html) .
It was difficult for that week to keep it all in perspective, and I had to just sort of shut down on my emotions and just read my bible and pray a lot and not think about things too much. I had to continually give it all to the Lord and leave all in His hands. :) I learned a lot that week! Praise the Lord we were all okay, and He is providing for all our needs! :)
Anyway, I went to the Dr. again today for a check-up to see how I was doing, and the Dr. said I was improving! Praise God! My hormone/thyroid levels are getting closer to normal and looking good he said, and I won't have to see the Dr. again until January! The really great news is that I can stay on this double dose for now, and won't have to go through any more emotional/physical changes this time! That is a HUGE blessing to me! :D Now I can relax and enjoy the holidays with my family in peace. I am just so touched by how God is using this period in my life, and all the ways He is providing for me, both spiritually and emotionally. :)
Thank you all for your prayers and encouragement! I so appreciate it and was blessed by it! :)
