Prayer Request
First off I want to say that I am soooo comforted by the fact that GOD IS IN CONTROL!
This last week I started to fell a little discomfort in my neck. As some of you all know I had Thyroid Cancer June 3 years ago. So I called my Dr. and asked if I should come in for a look-see. They said that was a good idea. I had a lymph node that was getting quite swollen. Dr. Westoff took a good long ultrasound of my neck and she said that it just looked like I have an infected lymph node and that we should just wait it out with some Advil. But within two days I started to get the muscle ace like the body flue. So I went to go see a regular physician to see what he thought. By this time quite a few of the lymph nodes of the right side of my neck were getting large and very painful. He took a look but was perplexed. He mentioned Mono but I was not experiencing sleepiness. So he gave me come meds to help me sleep at night and some anti-inflammatory for the day. That helped a lot. But by today I was feeling so sick I called Dr. Westoff again. She had me come in for a biopsy. These are never fun. But I was glad we might get some answers. She took 3 biopsy of my neck and drew some blood. This is the worst part becase fo days after it feels like they pulled out my flesh though a needle. Oh wait they did!!! So here is the story. She thought almost for sure that I have mono! That means no Canada Trip to See Norm, Debra and Caanan!!!! I am really having to rely on knowing that God is in Control at this point!
But tonight I woke up from my drowsy sleep to Dr. Westoff Calling. She said that I most likely have Cat Scratch Fever! This is awesome because all I have to do is take some antibiotics and I will be good as new, and it is NOT CONTAGEOUS!!!! So I start the Antibiotics tomorrow and then on Monday will go in for some other tests. On Tuesday we will know for sure whether I will not be able to go to Canada (this is when the Mono test comes back). So please pray for us that the Lord will guide the doctors and that I will keep my focus on the one who is truly is in control! ~Kathleen
