I came down with a cold this past week and I now can officially understand just how difficult having a cold or infection can be to a person whose immune system and lungs are already compromised.
I have been so blessed this entire winter to have not come down with a cold or the flu. I have tried really hard to avoid interaction with a lot of people due to my weakened immune system, but I know the Lord has blessed me so much these past few months.
This past winter my family would get sick and I would think I was going to catch it but I didn't. I was told by many different docs and specialists how hard it would be for me to fight off any type of sickness with this disease and not to mention how much it would flare my sarcs. They also reminded me that if I were to get bronchitis or pneumonia with Sarcs could land me into the hospital real quick. I was definitely worried about this but I felt so many prayers were answered this winter as I have been so fortunate to have stayed free from any additional infections until now.
So I feel very blessed to not get sick until just a few days ago. The weather is good and I am hopeful that this sickness will leave my body soon and not create any more complications for me. I know I must just trust the Lord and everything will be okay.
I am thankful for:
1. Not getting a cold or infection all winter until now
2. The opportunity to pray and ask for help daily
3. Knowing the Lord will hear and answer my prayers
4. Family who helps in every way they can
5. Visits from my Grandbaby that keeps me fighting!
