Well, it's not much but it's something worth sharing. I got a call from a New Patient Advocate down in Ann Arbor that a friend had hooked me up with when she was there recently. The new patient advocate called and was able to transfer me to the correct person working on my admission. I left her a message and someone called me back a little later. She emailed me the Records Release Form so I could sign it & email it back to her so they can get all my info in their hands & schedule my appointment so if more tests need to be done, they can happen soon. While on the phone with the lady, that's when Sadie face planted on the floor (see the pic I posted on Facebook). I hope I didn't sound like a terrible mom as I scooped her up & calmed her down as quickly as possible. The lady asked if I wanted her to call me back later but I said, "If you would just hold on for a minute, I can get her settled down quickly." In my mind I was thinking, NO WAY lady, don't hang up, I need to get this process moving forward and not just waiting some more. In our conversation, she asked me if I have an appointment with my doctor soon and I said, yes, in 2 weeks but he was hoping that I'd been seen by you guys before I met back with him again. Her response was, Oh, he wants things done ASAP? I said, why yes, he does! So as soon as my phone beeped & told me I had a new email message, I printed, signed, & then scanned & emailed back the form they needed. :) I did my part. Now waiting for the next step to be done. All in God's timing. I'm praying for God to hook us up with the BEST team of doctors and nurses for ME and what's going on in my body. Thank you for continued prayer. And perhaps you are the kind of person that can't find the words. Well, just tell that to God. He knows what's in your heart. You don't have to be what some might say is eloquent. You don't have to pray perfectly. He just asks for you to be you and share your heart with him. Give it a try. Sincerity is a great start no matter the words. Here's a song I love because it reminds me that God wants all of ME!Thursday, November 14, 2013

Yey for progress on the Ann Arbor front. Hoping they get you in in the timeframe before going back to your doc!
ReplyDeleteMe too. Would be a blessing
DeleteJeanette, you are so inspiring...not only are you going through "it" all, but you are inspiring everyone to get closer to Jesus, and oh how many lives you are touching. I was so mad at God for having a child with refractible epilepsy, not controlled with medication, I ask God why, why a child. If there was a way I could take this from her, I would, but God is allowing this for some reason unknown to us. When we were in the hospital our pastor said, Jesus was mad at God also and its ok to be mad. Jesus asked him "why have you forsaken me"? We never know why bad things happen to good people, my comfort is in "trusting God" through the rough times. I love and pray for you Jeanette, so much. My heart goes out to your family, and oh those sweet little wee children, as I know they don't understand, let them have comfort in just knowing Jesus loves them. On my knees with hope and prayer! Love and Hugs, Charlotte
ReplyDeleteCharlotte. I will be praying for Madison. It's hard to watch our children go through things. I'm sure my parents are struggling a little. But the nicest thing is that we can put our hope & trust in God. I know someone who goes to my church that used to have seizures for many years. I'm not sure how long ago it was but she received healing & hasn't had any seizures since. There is hope! Trust in his plan. <3 hugs & love to you. God knew what he was doing when he put Madison in your care. Your heart is wonderful!
DeleteThat song made me cry. Not sure there are always words...although I never seem to be short on them. Right now I am choked up....I will find my voice again...I will be praying and also be in the Word for you!! And for me!
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping us posted and here is praying that they will get you in ASAP!
Love,
Dawn
Nice to hear that the song ministered to you like that. God wants ALL of us. Not just a portion but ALL. Pretty cool that is what he wants from us because he loves us so much.
DeleteA friend passed your blog along to me. I am deeply touched by your faith and trust in God. I am keeping you in my prayers. Thank you for sharing your struggle and grace so openly and honestly.
