During the night on January 21, we made our way yet again to the emergency room. It was evident that again the veracies were angry and bleeding. Little did we know this would be the biggest challenge yet.
Apparently I was done with being scoped and decided to fight the scope thing that goes down the throat. They also had decided to do many checks, I believe three scopes during my time there, and because I was already anesthetized I believe they kept me in that state, and also to ensure I wouldn't have breathing issues they inserted a breathing tube. Yeah, it got downright scary. I will have to say I can't recount anything really solid without consulting Craig. My experience was more of a trippy one. I hallucinated, I couldn't remember how I got there, thought I was dreaming in what I call the torture room (it was the room they removed the breathing tube or something), and I kept wondering where my family was. Then I couldn't speak when the tube was removed. I was quite whispery for a while, plus with the super drugs I was tired and not always able to communicate well.
I was in the hospital 12 days. I came home on Monday. I have some things that the hospital left me with, water weight and air from all the scopes but I hope to be getting some help with that soon. Physical therapy people are going to come to the house so hopefully they can help this to work itself out. For now I am pretty uncomfortable but I can pretty much move around as I want, not really doing anything but able to move which is a blessing.
I thank those of you who prayed while I was in the hospital and I thank you for any prayers that you may pray for me now. I have to say that I was overwhelmed at many times by the number of people praying, about what happened, and that grace was extended to me and my family during such a stressful time. I am still overwhelmed when I think of it all.
I know I need the healing hand of God on me because I am still working to relieve the pressure/stress the liver has on it. I also know that Jesus had much mercy on me and was teaching and working on my heart during the hospital stay. It is amazing how God makes his way known.
I wish to share more but it will have to be later I have to go and rest a bit, but again thank you for your prayers and support.

You have been in my family's prayers daily and have also added you to the prayers at our church. There are people all over the world praying for you and Craig. Emily says to tell "Aunt Sharon" (yes she still calls you that after all these years) to get better soon.
