We are Blessed

Today is December 31st, the day before the New Year.  As I look back through this year I realize how much God has blessed me.  We have been through a lot of turmoil and God has helped us make it through it and made us stronger.

On November 27  I became very sick; I thought I had the flu.  I just babied myself and laid around for two days and figured I would feel better as the next day came.  I was wrong it just got worst. On the end of the second day I couldn't stand up on my own and the doctor said go to the emergency room.  I have been told this on a few other occasions and in the back of my head I almost didn't go because I thought they would just send me home.

My brother took me and my sister-in-law took the boys just in case; what a blessing because they did admit me.  I had to have emergency surgery for an abscessed intestine with a hole in it that was leaking poison into my stomach.  If I hadn't come in it could of killed me.  My family and friends rushed to the hospital to be with me while I waited for surgery; God puts so many people at your side when you need them, even strangers! 


God sent me an Angel that day, a doctor from Cleveland Clinic.  The emergency doctor was going to send me home, and a doctor from Cleveland Clinic came in and said he thought that the doctor was wrong and I should get a second opinion.  I told him yes I would like one and he examined me and said I need a surgeon now.  He also advised me to get an infectious doctor.   A half hour later and I was in surgery.  If it was not for the Cleveland Clinic doctor I would of died!  My boys would of not had a mother anymore and I would not be here to guide them to adulthood. 

I spent five days in the hospital and I thanked the doctor for saving my life.  The doctor said, I did not save you God did, he sent me to you that day.  I said yes he did he sent me an Angel and gave the doctors the knowledge to help me.

I came home from the hospital with a temporary colostomy, and a pic for antibiotics that I had to take through an IV for two weeks.  My mom came up to take care of me from Florida for 2 weeks. My sister-in- law came over everyday to help do the IV and do any running around that I needed.  She continues to help me as I get well.

All my family and friends have been here to help me as I re cooperate and God heals me. I am also thankful for the people (angels) that help you even when you don't know they are there; the silent helpers.
I am so thankful for this second chance to be able to finish raising my family and have the time to spend with everyone.

So as the New Year comes in I praise God for all the people that are in my life and all the Angels he has sent  to help me.  I know that God has a bigger plan for me and I will wait patiently while he reveals it.

Have Perseverance and know God is Always with you.  Be Strong, Be Safe, Be Thankful for all your have. Give your family and friends a hug, tell you love them daily.    Live today as if it was your last day, for we are blessed by everyday that God give us.   Do not hold grudges for life is short.  Give thanks to God daily for all you have, for you are truly blessed.

 Have a Great New Year.
