Foot Update


I just wanted to take a minute to update this long journey with my foot.  On Monday, we went back to the orthopedic doctor.  He was still very puzzled by the fact that my foot is discolored, is hurting and having a burning sensation.  He took some more x-rays trying to find a break or the healing of a break, but he couldn't find ANYTHING.  He then proceeded to tell us that he felt like there is something else going on.  He has requested for some blood work to be done thinking that maybe something was previously there and the foot injury has made it come out.  A couple of the things he is testing me for are diabetes and lyme disease.  The other thing he is having tested is my sympathetic nervous system.  When you have an injury you sympathetic nervous system kicks in and then it returns to normal.  He is thinking that maybe my sympathetic nervous system didn't return to normal.  We have been praying that nothing is wrong, but especially not the second scenario.  Treatment for the second scenario involves injections into my spine.  For those of you who know our birthing experiences, I didn't get any epidurals because I didn't want anything in my spine or near my spine.  So I humbly ask for your prayers that God will heal me completely.  That when I go back for my follow up there will be NO question on whether God healed.  No matter the outcome, I will continue to be faithful to my Savior and live my life for Him.  Thank you in advance for your prayer
