Along with the EBV I had the opportunity to catch the stomach flu. So, on Wednesday after my IV, I went home and went to bed. I woke up at midnight with the most frightening experience. I was hyperventilating, my heart was pounding, I thought I was going to pass out. Well, I went to the bathroom and let's just say it was not pretty. I lost all control of bodily functions.
Anyway, I threw up and struggled to breath until about 7am when Adam fixed me a ginger/honey drink which saved my life. Adam continues to run the whole house. My doctor thinks I have pleurisy too, so I'll have to continue to rely on everyone's help. I'm so grateful for Adam's hard work. (See photos...yes, that's my torn Boston College sweatshirt circa 1990-something)
We've had a lot of hard times in our family and extended family this week.
Still, I feel a great sense of peace and love. These trials that come challenge my testimony and bring me into the depths of humility. I was able to cry, as Peter did, "Lord, save me." And whether in pain of heart or body, I could feel the power of a loving Savior reaching his hand out for me. The scriptures say, "The Son of man hath descended below them all. Art thou greater the He?" Then I find comfort in knowing I am truly not alone.
