This Season of Life Part 1

 

As I have shared previously, my family is going through a rough season. My husband had back surgeries in 2001 and 2002. He has had problems with his back the past few years. On March 22, he done some lifting around our house and has been in serious pain since. We went to a local ER to be told that they couldn't even do a MRI to see what was going on. The next day we went to see a Dr. at Fondren in Houston. They almost didn't see him because the previous injury was workmans comp. We saw the Dr. and he had a MRI done that day. We returned the next week to find out results of the MRI. He has more herniated disc, several bone spurs, lots of arthritis, narrowing of the spine, and pinched nerves. He was scheduled for surgery on May 1. A few weeks later, he started having issues with his neck and went back to Fondren. He had a MRI done on his neck and found out that he has a couple herniated disc, narrowing of the spine, arthritis, and bones spurs on his neck as well. Dr. said he had to have an epidural injection in his neck and get his neck better before he could have his back surgery. That was three months ago. Nothing has been done whatsoever. We do have an appointment for an evaluation for the epidural injection next week. We have had a lot of heartaches during this time. The Dr. belittled us and made us feel like trash. Needless to say, we will not be going back to him. We filed for Social Security disability and was denied. We hired an attorney to make the appeal for us. It has been such a long, hard journey and we aren't near through yet. BUT..........yes,  BUT our God has blessed us more than we could ask or imagine. He has met our needs financially, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. He has been so faithful to us. Friends and neighbors have helped me with yard work, tilling the garden, maintenance, keeping our girls, cooking meals, giving financially, paying our water bill, blessing us with meat and fresh garden vegetables, and most of all.......PRAYER.  I know people are praying because God is blessing. I feel so much love and support. Even though this season is hard, I AM THANKFUL FOR WHAT MY FAMILY IS GOING THROUGH. I am closer to God than I have ever been. I have to trust Him for EVEYTHING!
