Prayer request for my daughter
hebrewroots98:
Yes Paula and Dwight,
You both have been in my heart and prayers also, you are missed; how are you both doing?
PKnowler:
Hey Robin and Susan,
I'm doing well, thank you. My daughter had an ultra sound the other day and her baby is doing good. They say it looks like a girl. My daughter is very happy about that.
I am concerned for baby though. My daughter has to take Tylenol with codeine every day just to function.
I know she needs to have some relief from the pain though. I made her a week worth of meals the other day to help her stay on her diet. I hope it helps.
How's your grandson doing Robin? He's in my prayers

Hey Dwight,
I'm still praying for your family. I'm sorry to hear that your daughter is starting to lose sight in one eye.
My mother has Multiple Sclerosis. Her very first symptom was in her 20's. She woke up one morning and couldn't see out of one eye. She never regained sight in that eye- so bizarre! She didn't have any other symptoms until 20 years later. One day she woke up and couldn't walk. She said she had to lean on the wall just to get to the kitchen to make coffee. Then she couldn't hold onto anything and she dropped the coffee everywhere so she went to sit down and sign a birthday card for her sister and she couldn't write. She figured she would wait until her husband woke up for him to help her but when he woke up she found that she couldn't talk- only jibberish came out.
They admitted her to the hospital and did a multitude of test. She was in the hospital for about a month. It took them a while but they finally came back with a diagnosis of MS. After much therapy she slowly started regaining her dexterity and motor skills being able to walk and write and talk. She has been in full remission for the last 20 years. It's such a strange disease. She knows it could come back at any time.
One thing my mother said was that it wasn't a painful disease. I've heard different from Montel Williams though who also has MS. Well, none of us knows what tomorrow holds though. I pray your daughter has a remission.
You and your family are in prayers.
Bless you! :)

Dear Paula,
I am so sorry and feel so helpless here. I read the article and am wondering if your daughter can get ahold of some of that anesthetic medications that could numb that area for awhile long enough to give her some relief. Also, Is she staying all by herself right now, and if so, would she be better off being with someon? Does she have immediate support around her besides you? I wonder if it would help her (If she is by herself), to be around family who she can have at her side if she needs support? This is a terrible and scarey thing to sit back and watch; let alone tohave to experience. I wish there were something that we could do! (Have you thought about calling that Jewish center that was mentioned on the site and asking them if they have any sample meds that they can offer her. Or better yet, ask them if they could take a new patient (and a benevolence case if this pertains to her,) and ask them if there is anything that they could help with. I would try and call as many places in the country as there are that deal with this and see if someone coffer her some relief. I know that is a lot to do, but I don't know of anything else! (This reminds me of a 'plurasy' type of situation; only of the bladder.) I am still praying here!!! Gods' will be done... :)
Much love sis!!!!

I wanted to give you all an update on my daughter Brooke.
Brooke needs to eat a special low acid diet to avoid the flare ups from the IC.
She was having a hard time staying on the diet because it is so new so I helped her out and made a week worth of meals for her. It was very frustrating to figure out what's acceptable and what's not because everyones different with this IC. There are some general guidelines but Brooke is going to have to figure out what her trigger foods are. I wasn't 100% sure that what I fixed wouldn't give her a flare up- so I prayed.
Brooke called the other day and said she was pain free! She has not been taken the codeine either. Praise God! A read a testimony from someone that overcame the pain from IC naturally through diet, pure water and coral calcium so I sent Brooke with my bottle of Coral Calcium and told her to only drink pure water. Well it seems to have worked! Praise God!
On the down side she found out her thyroid levels were dangerously low so they need to adjust her medication so she doesn't loose the baby. She did go in to the doctor yesterday and the baby is still doing well though. Praise God! I would appreciate your continued prayers for Brooke and her unborn baby.
Bless you All! :)

Hey Susan,
I'm sorry for my delay in responding. I meant to answer your question sooner.
I don't know about any anesthetic medications. I'm sure the doctor would prescribe it if it would help though. She is not alone she is living with her boyfriend. They have a wedding date set for the 14th of this month. Her boyfriend has been supportive thus far. I did order some sample meds of an aloe based medication that helps IC. I haven't received it yet though. Praise God she has received some relief through diet, pure water and coral calcium for now.
Thank you for your prayers and concern!
Bless you! :)
