Yay! Mom finally officially heard from the doctor's office! The numbers are headed in the right direction--down, so that's good. However, they still aren't' in the range that they should be, so she needs to have labs drawn in a month again.
I'm hoping with this "good" direction that things won't get as "bad" in her head as they did this time. I"m clinging to that information, so will update you in a month... .

"The Only Thing that's Good in Me is Jesus"
Recorded by Michael English
I heard someone say the other day
They’d seen in me true love displayed
Blessed by something
I had done for them
No sooner did they speak those words
I found myself somehow disturbed
Uneasy as I took their compliment
‘Cause I know the heart inside this man
I know the truth of who I am
The only thing that’s good in me is Jesus
The only thing that’s good in me is Jesus
I’ve lived long enough to know
No matter what this life may show
The only thing that’s good in me is Jesus
If you could walk the hallways of my heart
And see things as they really are
I wonder if you might be surprised
Seeing faded walls of pride and fear
Rooms I’ve filled with faithless tears
And corners where I’ve stood in compromise
But you’d see the work His grace has done
You’d know just how far I’ve come
In a thousand years
When the dust of this world clears
And I look back on my life
And see in perfect light

Tee-hee! Let's hear it for persistence!
Okay, so if I think about this too much, it does kinda make me laugh. My mom called today, she found out that her "numbers" are heading in the right direction, but that the doctor is still not happy with where things are.
Now, the WAY they found this out is the humorous part. They were running errands today, and found themselves in the neighborhood of the doctor's office, so they went in and REFUSED to leave until they had some information! Way to go, Dad & Mom! Unfortunately, the doctor is lagging behind on his schedule some how right now, thus the delay in finding anything out. So, pray that he soon shuffles through the swamp of stuff he has to do, so that our family can get going on what needs to get gone on...or something like that.

No news is good news?
We still haven't heard any results from my mom's blood tests. She has called, not received return calls, and just generally hasn't heard anything. So we wait.
The good news is that her spirit seems more settled now. So thank you for keeping her and us in your prayers. When I know something, I'll try to post it. For now, keep praying!

Different type of tag...
Here's a game of tag I haven't seen before..it's pretty fun! Do you know the #1 song the day you were born? Go to http://www.joshhosler.biz and look up the number one song for your birth date.
Mine is "I'm a Believer" by the Monkees (you're singing it now, aren't you? Just go ahead and try not to! I couldn't ... now the song is in my head! At least it's a fun one!
Happy hunting! And let me know via comment what you find out!

calling all my prayer warrior friends...
Hi,
Throughout this week and through the weekend, could you please keep my mom in your prayers? Before Christmas, she was taken off one of her medications because her liver function was "off"--presumably as a side effect of the medication. (You know all those warnings that they casually give in commercials? Yeah, apparently they're true.)
Anyway, recently she found out that things are still not where they should be, and her next test is Monday, where they'll hopefully get some more comprehensive answers as to what is going on and what can be done about it.
In the mean time, in the time of the "unknown" where one's brain goes all sorts of directions--but usually down the darkest path possible, she is frightened. She feels lonely. She feels dread.
Please uphold her in prayer. And uphold my dad, too, as he stands by, loving her, supporting her, and praying for her as well.
Thanks, friends!
