Prayer Request and Update

Some of you may be familiar with Kimmy Harris, blogger at Non-Conformist. Kimmy is 34 weeks pregnant with a baby girl and went into early labor a few days ago. Thankfully, they've been able to stop labor and Kimmy is now on bedrest. Her brother-in-laws, Alex and Brett Harris, have been providing updates. Please lift up Baby Elena, Kimmy, her husband Joel as well as the entire Harris family during this time of stress and uncertainty.

And lastly, many of you probably remember that I had been having medical problems of my own. The doctors were finally able to pin down what was wrong with me and put me on the proper medication. However, after a few days, I had an allergic reaction to the medicine. Because of this, even more problems have risen to the surface. I have been undergoing a series of tests these last couple of days that have proved trying, but by God's sustaining grace, I've been doing tolerably well. I humbly ask you to continue to keep me in your prayers that the doctors would find the problem.

Answer me when I call to you, O my righteous God. Give me relief from my distress; be merciful to me and hear my prayer. ~Psalm 1:4

Will certainly continue to pray. Praise the Lord the doctors were at least able to diagnose you. I know what that's like.

I am praying for you. I know how it feels because I have having a lot of tests done because something is wrong with my stomach. It gets discouraging when they can't figure it out. But God knows what it is and he will never leave or forsake you.

Thanks everyone for continuing to cover me in prayer. Unfortunately, the doctors are still unsure of what's wrong with me.

Lindsey, I was actually tested for Lupus but that came back negative. However, I continue to experience lupus-like symptoms (joint pain, headaches, fatigue, etc). I will be going back to the doctor later this week for another check-up and we'll see what he says.

When you have an allergic reaction to certain medications, you can get drug induced lupus and that may be what I have.

Thanks again for everyone's prayers :)

Hi, Kristen.

I just saw your post about being sick. I'll be praying for you. I've been sick off and on for the last year, and we diagnosed two different problems which I got over. In March, I started having attacks of pain, which they never could diagnose. This past week I was put in the hospital, and they finally found out that my gallbladder does nothing. I go in a week, to have it taken out and while they are doing that they are going to look and see if there is any other problems, because my pain doesn't match up with the gallbladder.

P.S. Thank you so much for your blog, it really encourages me that other girls think like me.
