What a day....

What a day I have had today!!!
I got a call from my Grandmother this morning. She was having problems breathing.. Hadn't slept all night long and when she laid down she felt like she was gasping for air.
Having Pulmonary Embolisms and hearing this, that came to mind First. I didn't mention that to her, thinking also the Velcade treatments not fully understanding side effects of those yet.
I called her doctor who said they would call her.. and I was scared. Living 4 1/2 hours away from someone you love so dearly has become really hard. After my husband and I praying we decided a few days ago that I would move in with her and live with her the next 90 days until these treatments are over. I was going to be leaving Tuesday. And then this.. I was thinking I needed to leave like YESTERDAY! I called the police in her town and sent them over (small town they know her) and she wouldn't let an ambulance take her but agreed to go to the hospital so my brother left work and took her. This was lunchtime and I am stressing. I have had a virus and haven't felt up to par because of it - and stress well I didn't need that.
I started praying! And I was torn.. should I take off and drive to Birmingham? My sister fly home from San Diego?? Then... we get the call.. after some tests they told my brother that it was a bloodclot but needed to do further testing.. they were admitting her. My fear was realized.
I was so terrified. Living thru a PE was the worst time of my life!! And I was young, a mere 25. My Grandmother is 81....
Teddy Left work at lunch to come be with me. He wanted to spend some time with me and we thought I would be leaving at any time.. probably today. We had planned a weekend together and now we were fearful I might have to leave today, tonight or in the morning.
We waited all evening on word, more tests.. Oh, God please take care of my Grandmother I can't be there yet.
By 7pm we decided to go on the the movie we had planned, Fireproof. My sister said I should go the doctor said it would be an hour and half before they had all the test back - and she said the movie will be over by then.. I said yeah If I can concentrate on a movie and Teddy...
The movie was amazing.. and God was working.. when the movie was over .. I had a text:
It is NOT a blood clot!! PRAISE GOD!!! She is having a stress test in the morning.. I love you.. (my sister!)

PRAISE GOD!!! PRAISE GOD!!!
They said it was a clot but we were all praying and God was working.. and I know what they first saw and when the tests ended God was there!!!
So I am sitting here thinking what a day I had and Thanking God for the amazing day I had.. how supportive and loving my husband is and the time I am going to have with my Grandmother.

And I get to walk tommorrow!! I thought I would miss it and I prayed and I get to go and WALK!!!

Keep praying for my Grandmother, she is in the hospital but I know God is in control!!!
Praise him tonight with me too!!!!

(((GAIL))))
I love you!
I am praying you up!!!!
Now if today isn't a sign God works miracles I don't know what is!!
No blood clot after they said there was one!! HE IS MIGHTY!!!
And I know he is healing you and making you well!!

I'm keeping you in my prayers. Be strong,Be faithful and most of all Believe. Take care of yourself. You can't take care of anybody(in your case everybody)unless you first take care of yourself. Praying for you and your whole family. Love, Miss Mary

Thank You Miss Mary!!
I know you are so right!! I need to take care of myself so that I can be there for my MawMaw.
Today was so stressful-- and my stomach doesn't handle stress at all.
So I need to keep things as calm as I can. I am praying for peace!!!

I love you girl...you (and your mawmaw) are in my prayers.  Like Ms. Mary said...you take care of yourself first...God will take care of everybody else.
