Hey Guys,

I wanted to drop a line to say hey and let you know how things are going.  I've been doing the naturopathic herbs for about 7 weeks now and boy oh boy has it been challenging.  I never knew that detoxing could be so difficult.  I've lost tons of weight, again and have been so weak that I could barely make it to the bathroom or anywhere else.  It's been more challenging that chemo was, for sure.  My mom and sister have come over from TX to help me out since Max has to work and the boys are not always able to be here.  It's been nice having them here.  A lot of friends have also been helping out by bringing meals and mowing and stuff which has been a huge blessing.  Thank you so much to all of you.

I have to brag on my youngest John David for a minute.  He is in All-Stars baseball and his team has just won it's first tournament.  They were undefeated.  I am so proud of him.  He loves it.  Of course, that means almost every night doing baseball, which I have had to miss.  I've never missed a game in all these years until this season.  I had a real hard time with that.  I sit at home getting text updates during the game.  Thank goodness for texting.  They've won Sub-District and now advance to District tonight in Taylorsville.  It starts at 4pm which will not be fun due to the heat at that time of day.  I'm sure they'll do good.

My right lung has filled up with fluid 3 times now and has had to be drained.  1200 cc's the first time and 1100 the other 2 times.  Wow!  I'm supposed to have a catheter that will drain continuously inserted next week.  This will help me to breathe better instead of filling up again.  Dr. Morse says my lungs filling up is pretty normal for a lot of people he sees.  It's all part of the process of getting the acid out of your body. 

I do need prayer, please.  My breathing has gotten a bit more difficult lately.  The stuff in my lungs has grown a bit, which can be normal also before it shrinks and goes away, and I need it to go down.  It makes it hard to sleep at times when you wake up and feel you need more air.  I'm on oxygen to help out with that, but sometimes I feel I need more.  At times, this can lead to panicky feelings. 

The enemy has a hay day with that in my mind.  This is where believing the Truth over the facts comes into play.  God's Words to me are the only Truth and I choose to trust Him above all else.  He is my maker and the lover of my soul.  My Victor, my Repriser, my King, my Daddy, my Friend, my Partner, my Knight in Shining Armour, my Deliverer, my Healer, my Rescuer.  He  is my Truth, my Vision, my Way Forward, my Future, my Joy, my Heart, my Strength, my Way, my Truth and my Life.  He is the lifter of my head.  My all in all.  He is my Victor.  He is the only way for me.  He is my Door.  God is Faithful and He Will Do It!

Thank you for praying and believing in God's continued miracle taking place in my body.  My Dr. in Florida assures me that all my symptoms are normal for the detox program.  It just takes a bit of time.  Of course, I'm still anticipating God to soverignly heal me without anything because I know that He can.  He is so gracious and loving and I will sing His praises all my days.  Love you so much and thanks for sharing in this journey with us.

Blessings your way,

Nancy
