We’re struggling. We’ve now had two bad nights in a row… and I feel far too weak to have a third. Cory and the kiddos are worn out with overwhelming stress about me. Part of me wishes I could share a video with you of what our “bad nights” look like… and the bigger part of me is so thankful that few ever have to see it.
Tonight started with me laying out by the pond watching the kids enjoying a post-dinner swim! It was the perfect weather, and the sun was just right! Shortly after, my eye started to twitch, the pain set in and I had to get inside to lie down on the couch. Cory and the kiddos came in a couple minutes later as I cannot be alone when these evenings start. In just a few short minutes I was shaking, telling Cory “I could not handle the pain.” He was encouraging me, getting me ice packs for my neck, making up detox drinks, rubbing oils on my feet, temples, and neck. Hayden was running for detox refills every 15 minutes, Lucy was rubbing my feet, and they were all coaxing me to start breathing each time I would pass out and stop breathing. I was in soooooo much pain that it overtook my body, I start convulsing, tears flow, and I stop breathing for 15-30 seconds and then passed out 7 or so times just tonight.
Once the majority of the pain passed, I started an ionic foot detox bath… hoping to eliminate as many of the toxins as I could. We’ve finally gotten the kiddos all tucked in and Cory and I are sitting here trying to unwind while watching some Seinfeld… Then BED!
Please keep praying! We need each one. These nights are full of pain and fear.
We need financial help getting treatment for our upcoming trip, for the treatment of co-infections that I have after Germany, and then to tackle all the treatment the kiddos will need here in the States.
We are so incredibly grateful for everyone who has brought a meal, donated to the you caring site, and for ALL of your prayers!
Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
Sincerely, Dani
