When it Rains. . .

Sickness is a part of life. I learned this at a very early age. I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease at the age of 15, along with Anemia which I suffered with until I was 18. I had surgery done, but I rarely have flares. I am holding onto my healing from God, because I have to believe I am healed.

My husband is a Diabetic, he has High Cholestrol and high Blood Pressure. He has Neropathy already in his feet, and was diagnosed with Deep Vein Thrombosis last year, which now they have changed it to Hyper Coagulation. This means his blood is more thick than a normal persons. This has caused two blood clots within a year to date.

I love him very dearly, but most of his sickness is genetic. This makes me worry for my daughter. Will she have these problems? Is Crohn's genetic? They really have no idea what causes Crohn's, that I know of, but only one another member in my family has is. This worries me and I try not to worry.

I want my daughter ( and any other children I have, IF I can have them ) to be healthy. I don't want any of these sicknesses ( what some would call generational curses ) to be passed to her. My husband is miserable lately. We just spent SIX DAYS at Pineville Community Hospital, and he is getting discouraged. I don't know if he'll be allowed to go back to work, which makes me wonder if I should go back. He clearly has enough problems to draw his disability, but is this bad?

I don't know. When I lived with my mother, along with my sister, she drew Welfare, but we had to. I draw foodstamps, and have a medical card. But, we need it. Most people in this state get what they want if they don't need it with a snap of a finger, however, those in need never do.

I am just beside myself tonight. Glad to home, but worried for my family and it's well-being. God listens, but sometimes...He takes too long to answer prayers. ( Not really, He answeres on His own time which is perfect, though sometimes I think He waits to see how persistent and serious we are )I just want everything to be okay.

Our government is so screwed up now because of the idiots who run this country ( sure, I'm half British, but I am a patriot of BOTH countries. )
it's getting harder to get medical help. Everything is Changing just like he promised, but not for the good. It's going down in a spiral. Too many people who need help, aren't getting it. It's been that way for some time, but now it is worse. I just hope God works everything out soon, because I am physically and mentally tired of the hassle of sickness. If I ever see another hospital or somebody getting sick...it'll be too soon.
