answered prayers

Today I went to dialysis on the second shift, because I got to enjoy my kids at their valentine party. Not wanting to go, because I like to go on my early shift and get it over with. But once I got there my day got even better!! The PA comes around a couple times a month and goes over our lab work with us. She told me all of my labs looked good, which is awesome. So I thought I would push my luck and ask about my creatine (sp?). She said she would look it up and let me know, now usually it just takes a minute, but she was really looking into it. As she was doing that on of the techs walked by and said your about to get good news. Good news, what's that, I haven't heard good news in, well who knows how long. The PA comes back and says we can cut your time down by 15 (first yay) and then she tells me my numbers have dropped from an 8 something down to a 6 something in a month. She isn't sure if my lupus is better under control or if my kidneys are working better. All I could say was Praise Jesus!!!!! My cousin Val is really someone that I share all of my tears and all of my joys with and I could not wait to text her and share my information. She that one I lean on in prayer and knew she would praise with me, not that the rest of the family wouldn't she just special to me. And Josh had the kids and it was nap time so I just waited to tell him when I got home. Put I just wanted to let everyone know about my great news that God has blessed me with. All the glory be to him!!!
Thanks for all the prayers

nothing new

Well not much has been going on here at the Griffin household. The kids and I have been sick with this awful cough and running nose. I must say this is the worse I have felt in a long time.
Josh started working at the street dept, someone offered to trade him and he took them up on their offer.
I've been feeling pretty good otherwise. You know people ask me at least 15 times a week so how do you feel. I know they are just concerned and I don't want to be rude, so I just say pretty good and go on. I really want to say I don't want to talk about it, I am so sick of being sick. I pray everyday that God will heal me and I won't have to have the transplant. I know he is the only want that can do that and I know we aren't suppose to question, but I just want to know why me? What have I done? I mean over the past 5 years Josh and I have had our fair share of heart ache. I mean when the twins were born we didn't know if Alex would even make it and I look at him today and see what a miracle he is. Then I look back at the first time I got sick and then this second time, I should have went to the doctor sooner, maybe I wouldn't have gotten so sick. Then I think it was going to happen anyway. I would not wish this on anyone. And I know God will heal me if it is in his plan, I just have wait and see. Pray for me and let me allow him to be in control. Thanks for listening.
