The Other 6 Days

I just found a cool site! It’s www.other6.net. Its premise is that some people find God in church one day a week, but where do you find God the other 6 days? The site lets you post a bubble saying where you have found God today and/or a bubble saying where you need to find God today. It is pretty interesting to read some of the bubbles and see where others find God. So, if you are reading this, you should check it out. They even have a reminder clock you can download to remind you to take time to reflect on finding God.

Happily Frustrated

The good news is that Jacey's blood tests are normal! The frustration comes from not knowing what is causing her joint pain and breaking out. Dr. K wants to wait until she is better and then proceed with allergy testing. He thinks she either has a hypersensitivity to a virus that she was exposed to that will eventually clear out of her system or she is having some type of allergic reaction. I am leaning towards a food allergy. We know she's allergic to red dye. However, this time she has not had anything that contained red dye. I'm thinking she has developed some kind of sensitivity to something else. So....now we wait for her to get over this outbreak and then do the allergy testing. I hate waiting! Maybe God is trying to teach me patience!

I Hate To Wait!

I used to rub Jacey’s hands when she was little and she loved it. I started rubbing her left hand last night and she started crying because it was hurting her joints.

We’ve been waiting since Monday for the lab results. When I called the doctor’s office about 2 p.m. I was told that they came in at lunch and they are on Dr. K’s desk. So, now it is just sitting and waiting until he calls. I am hoping they are normal. If they are, we get to do allergy testing. Jacey is just ready to find out what’s wrong. She is tired of hurting and itching and very frustrated.

Here We Go Again

Jacey went to the doctor today for pain in her left elbow. I know she was in a lot of pain because she kept moaning in her sleep. By the time she got to the doctor’s office she had started breaking out in a rash and her joints were aching. Dr. K sent her for some additional blood tests today. She had not had anything with red dye to cause her to break out. He seems to be focused on the possibility of rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. I hate waiting for test results. He said that if everything looks normal, he will probably do allergy testing. I'm sure she will love that since she hates needles!
