The last few days have been quite trying for Nix. She has been battling with migraine headaches and woke up on Thursday morning with swollen, painful joints again. Oh what a rollercoaster this is! I took her through for her consultation with her rheumatologist today - no major breakthoughs there. They are still unsure whether the cancer is the underlying cause for the arthritis or whether Nikki is running 2 different and unrelated problems here. On one hand, the white blood cell count is low from the Chemo and on the other hand the immune system is still way out of control (overstimulated) causing the severe inflammation / arthritis. So where does that put you? Do you supress it or stimulate it? Only the Lord knows the answer to that and that is why our faith remains firmly in Him and nowhere else...
Psalm 103: 1 - 5
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name!
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.
