Here we are again… finally… back on the blog!
Last time I wrote we were finishing out RV trip around the country abruptly due to the return of my horrible pain. Lucy and I flew back to my doctor in Hawaii and stayed with my brother while Cory, Hayden, Grey, and the pooch stayed at his aunt and uncles in SoCal to sell the RV, and drive back up to Bend, Oregon where they had to pack up all our belongings, and fly back here to be with Lucy and I about a month later.
As soon as Lu and I arrived on the island we saw the doctor and began treatments that very day to build my body back up and mainly get “ferritin infusions” so that my ferritin (part of my iron that the Babesia disease eats) would increase. Unfortunately, about two months into these treatments… my body has built up some sort of a tolerance or allergy to receiving the ferritin and my labs are not responding like they always have and are supposed to. I began severely itching anytime I touched water of any kind and we immediately began searching for new and immediate answers for a treatment to KILL off all the Babesia and FAST! I cannot live long without the iron my body requires to live… so we are desperate for answers and have been spending all our time searching and asking for prayers.
My parents found a clinic in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico that offers the exact treatment that I’ve been looking for and they are able to get me in next week, they are helping us find a condo to rent near the clinic and as of now God is opening door after door for this treatment. We have soooooo many decisions to make between now and next week… we are working on the blood testing needed in advance, securing the condo, getting my daddy here to take care of the kiddos (they have lots to get in order in a matter of a few days in Bend so that he can get here), we have to get flights for him, for Cory and myself, we have to be able to pay the doctor upon arrival, and the list just keeps on going and going…
I will post an update on the treatment and what all we will be doing while at the clinic for 6-8 weeks.
Please, please pray for:
All of these steps to fall into order.
For us to clearly see open or closed doors directed by God.
For anxiety and stresses to be at a minimum for all of us.
I have NEVER been away from my kiddos like this before and in a foreign country too.
Please pray for all the help we need in making this happen…
Prayers for safety for my dad in his travels
Safety for Cory and myself with flights and travel
For continued peace and strength for us all
For Complete Healing
Praising God for:
This clinic and Dr. in Mexico
For the open doors already
For my daddy coming to be “Super Papa”
For a Great Big God who is bigger than this whole “beautyfull mess”
Thank you for your continued love, prayers, and support for our family in this crazy journey, We LOVE you all!
Continue to “Live It Out” each and every second for Jesus!!!

Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever, AMEN
