Just wanted to update everyone who has been praying for me on my health…I wanted to do it sooner but here it goes! We had a Dr’s Appt. Friday with a hematologist (blood specialist) that was very encouraging to our spirits! He confirmed my diagnosis of Pregnancy Associated ITP…or a low blood platelet count related to my pregnancy. I was put on steroids a few weeks ago and my platelet count had doubled in that time, for which we are so thankful!! My medicine will be reduced, which is also a good thing.
How grateful Jeremy and I are for all your thoughts, prayers, and words of encouragement. We are praying for the Lord’s continued guiding and strength during the months to come. I’m definitely learning the hard lesson of surrendering COMPLETELY to God- giving up control and letting Him take over- it’s quite challenging for me to do…but I wouldn’t rather anyone else be in control of my life or body…
Thanks again! We have our next Dr.’s Appt. and ultrasound next Friday which is always exciting!
I’ve been praying for you guys, and I’m so glad everything is turning out alright!
Keep eating those red beets(ha ha ha) We will keeping praying for all three of you. I really enjoyed shooping with you. I can’t wait to start buying baby clothing.
We love you
Mom Blount
Shall keep ya in my prayers.
