Dehydration and Salvation

I have not eaten since Sunday. Only water and a bit of rice. Each time I tried to eat or drink my body has rejected it. Over the last day I have felt weaker and lightheaded. I called my doctor and told him what was going on. He had me come in. First sign of a problem was that I lost 25 pounds in the last two weeks. I looked at the scale...a part of me thinking this is great....the reality part of my brain saying this is not good. The nurse took my vitals and within minutes my doctor was examining me....sever dehydration...abnormal symptons...ordered a upper GI test to be done next week. He does not know what is wrong with me...only that I was dehydrated. His office is attached to the chemo station and right away nurses were called to hook me up to an IV. Get fluids in her ASAP. A shot was given so I would not get nauseated. I sat in the chair, alone and was afraid. I called family and a couple of friends telling them.....not sure what is going to happen but right now they are working hard to get my vitals up. In tears I sat alone, telling my daughter not to come....she had missed so much work already because of me. She came anyways. The IV's and the shot worked. I had a headache but was feeling less dizzy. Two bags of IV and I did not have to go the bathroom. The nurses said most people have to after that much fluid. It took hours for my body to take it in. I was allowed to come home, ever so grateful I was admitted. Next week I will take a test to see if I have intestinal blockage. My mom had those and they eventually took her life.

Yesterday a friend sent me something I needed. She asked if I asked God for help. I said yes. I cried when I saw what she sent me. She said God spoke to her and even though we had not spoken and she had no idea what I was going through. She listened to God and sent me what he told her what I needed. God interceded on my behalf. Hallejuah....I give Jesus the highest praise. In the middle of all these challenges that I have been going through, a gesture from a friend made life a little easier for me. I can not thank her enough, I can not praise God enough.

I am hoping my health improves.....more importantly I am hoping that I will keep my faith that I may have trials to go through, but as long as I have accepted God into my life I will survive.
