My husband, Jason, is back in the hospital. He was admitted this past Wednesday to Lewis Gale hospital. Message me if you would like the room number. Please pray for a miracle, a healing, a treatment or a cure. He desperately needs relief. And he wants to go home. We are learning each day to truly TRUST God. We know God is able to keep us from pain and trials... yet the lions den was Daniels bedroom for a night. The heat of the furnace flame was so intense that it burnt the binding from the 3 Hebrews. Abraham assembled knife, wood and fire for the sacrifice of his only son. Joseph rode a roller coaster to the fulfillment of his dreams... highs... lows... times where no one could have imagined the hand of God was upon him, and his own father thought he was dead. And so we join the ranks of those who know that God has a purpose, a plan, and a method. HIS method, though. Not ours. Because I know people will ask, here are the bare bones: Tuesday afternoon when I left work, Jason told me that he had regained consciousness face down on the floor in our apartment. He had been by himself, so we dont know exactly what happened. Fast forward. Next day at the doctors office they were preparing hospital admissions for him when he had an episode that imitated a seizure (the neurologist said the brain was basically short circuiting from the pain). The dr office called 911 for transportation to the hospital. I followed the ambulance to the hospital, carrying my own prescription and a note for two days off work due to a severe respiratory infection (Im beginning to perk up, today, thank God!). Jason has been battling a constant migraine (labeled an atypical complex complicated migraine) since September 30 of last year, when he was hospitalized for 13 days. Since that time, his constant headache pain levels are on par with or worse than the levels he experienced when he had a kidney stone, with huge spikes in the pain due to cluster headaches that he describes as feeling like someone is holding a hot poker in his right eye socket. These clusters occur anywhere from 6 to 12 times a day and can last as long as 40 minutes, unless we get oxygen for him right away to shorten them to maybe 10 to 20 minutes. His blood pressures and blood sugar have been off the charts over the past few months, due to the pain. He has not been able to return to work since September, and he misses being constantly active and useful to others at his job. Neurologists say that these headaches will eventually go away on their own... but this is a REALLY long time to be in that much pain. They appear to have ruled out many things, such as stroke, heart issues, aneurysm, cancer. But the pain persists. And so we trust. There is talk of a trip to UVA for a consult sometime, but it has not yet been scheduled. Please pray for us in this battle. Pray for our trust to be strengthened each day. Pray for our finances, as my hostess income is being strained to meet our bills. God is faithful, and He is our Provider. Pray for our sanity. Pray for good, kind staff here at the hospital. Pray that we will be patient with all the doctors, realizing they are humans, too. Pray that in this be still moment that we will fnd, more than ever before, that He is God. The more people praying, the better, so feel free to share this status. In Jesus hands, Elona
