I just got outta the hospital and it is about 8 o'clock here in Melun.
I have never been so grateful to be outside!!!!! So here is the update. The
doctors got a hold of the doctors in Brest (the people doing my genetic test)
and guess what .....it came back negative! Not much has changed, I am still a
big mystery. The doctor here is pretty sweet and seems to think they can figure
something out.....I appreciate the enthusiasm.. but I am not completely
convinced yet. I have an rdv with him in a couple of weeks to plan out what I
wanna do. Apparently, from what I understood, there is one more
genetic test they could do that is even more complicated than the first. The
first one only searched for common anomalies and this other one searches for
abnormal ones.....yeah I don't get it either. After that, they want to do an
MRI but I am pretty sure I have done one. They're in the middle of getting all of
my paperwork from Limoges so if I did do one they will find out and that will
change the plans. The last option, according to them, is to send me to the
French's greatest in Paris who apparently specialize in pancreatitus
cases......I am not sure what I think yet.
This last visit to the hospital was pretty tough. I have definitely
grown really close to my Savior this week and I have really grown to appreciate
His atonement! I couldn't make it if it wasn't for Him!! This last week end was
one of the darkest moments of my life. For the first time I was just wanting to
give up and go home! But I know in whom I have put my faith; and Jesus Christ
gives us the power to overcome anything.
Well, before this escapade we had a fairly good week! We have been
spending most of our time contacting all day every day. I understand what
Chris is going through and he is right, it is fun! We have even found someone
every time we have gone out finding which equals a lot of potentials.
Unfortunately we haven't been able to follow up on them yet because I have been
in prison all week. OH! p.s. I have a huge beard right (don't worry I will
shave it) now. It's pretty gross. I will take pictures and send them to y'all
next week! UMMMMmmm... what were your other questions? Oh
yeah...no I unfortunately did not get much work done in this hospital but
....well I don't want to scare you, but the first night I went into shock
because of a weird treatment they were doing. They sent a big tube up my nose
and down to my stomach to suck out all the acidity from it.......worst
experience ever! I had to keep it in there for 24 hours. After that I was in a
lot of pain so I spent most of my time intoxicated with morphine and some
other drug. But everything is good!! I am doing well and I will be taking it a
little slow these next couple of days to recover! I have an awesome companion
who is one transfer ahead of me and we have bonded a lot these past couple of
days! If anything, I sure can't deny the power of Christ's atonement because I
have never felt it as powerfully as I did this weekend.
So don't worry. My chin is up, and I won't be hasty about turning down
tests, but if you could fast for me (beings i cant) I sure would appreciate it.
I am gonna need all the help I can get these last weeks here
LOVE
