A Small Dr. Update

First off...thank you all for your prayers!! I know that it was all of our prayers that helped on Monday. When I went in on Monday and they checked my heart rate it was already in the 60s! That was a BIG answer to prayer. The nurse got so excited and looked completely relieved. She said that she had been worried for a few days about this test because usually they give this medicine to old people and she was really worried about me. But thank the Lord we didn't have to! They let Nathan go into the room with me if he wore a long, lead vest. If it hadn't been me taking the test, I would have thought it looked pretty cool. It was huge and lit up. It looked like something involving the space program. They did the test with the lights off. During the test I had to hold my breath whenever it told me to. When they injected something into my arm one time it gave me this sharp pain and it scared me and then it said hold your breath. So I said "Ouch" and realized I wasn't supposed to breathe and hadn't taken in a breath. That scared me and my heart rate started rising so we had to stop for a minute and let it go back down. But overall, it went well. My body did not react to the dye so that was good too. They weren't allowed to discuss the results with me but as we were leaving the lady said, "You have some really interesting insides!" haha The way we figure it, we would have heard from them if it was an emergency so we are ok with waiting. I am already scheduled to go in on the 20th so I may not know anything until then. Our prayer is that they will actually find something so we can know the cause of the pain, but that it will be small and easily fixed.

On a side note, thank you for your prayers of peace also. I know it helped. I was a wreck and not so much about the test, but about the results. But I am trusting in God that he will take care of me. The thought of leaving my Addison wouldn't a mother was more than I could bare, but I have to be positive. I had been thinking about writing a letter to her in case something happened and when my sister in law suggested it, I decided that maybe I should. I did and even though it was REALLY hard to write, in the end it made me feel better knowing that I would get a chance to leave something with her.
