Prayer Request
Hello all, I know it's been a while since I last posted, but I really do need to ask you all to say a few prayers for me. I mean, it's obviously finals season, and we're getting ready to get moved into our trailer and get married and all ... but there's something bigger than all that. I really need you to pray for Kevin. I think most of you know he has a pretty serious health condition (Addison's disease, or disorder). It's a hormone imbalance ... I don't know all of the details, but when he gets sick he's REALLY sick. Yes, I know this sounds gross, but if he throws up, he has to be immediately put into the hospital and have an IV feed him his medicine. Well, he went for his regular checkup last week, and his blood test results came back this week. Not too good. I've been trying to be strong, especially when I'm talking to him ... but I was close to breaking down when I was talking to his mom earlier. SHE was about to break down when she was talking. And I've never heard her like this before. He has to go back later this month for an MRI, probably the Monday after graduation. And we're hoping and praying that everything can be taken care of with a switch in medicine. But we have to be honest with ourselves and realize that he may have to be admitted to the hospital and have more tests run. And that has me worried ... it's never been that bad before, at least since he and I have been together.
But hey, I'm trying to look on the bright side. And at this point, the bright side is that since this has happened, his mom told me she really wants to get Kevin moved out of the house with stupid roommate NOW ... so he may be moving back in with his mom and dad for a couple of weeks.
But you know ... his mom and I bonded while we were on the phone. She opened up to me like she never has before, and I did the same with her. And for the first time (to me, anyway), she called me her daughter. Not Kevin's girlfriend or fiancee or even future daughter in law, but her daughter. And I told her that she and Kevin's dad were already like my other parents too. So even though we were both worried, there was good in it. We bonded in a good way.
Anyway, I need to stop talking about this for a while before I get myself worked up again. Thanks in advance for the prayers! Much love to you all!!!
