Dear Friends,
It has been many weeks since we have sent out a newsletter, the reason is because Miranda has been very sick with her continued health problems.
At the beginning of August Miranda started seeing a Gastroentologist. They have run tons of tests on her, including blood work and also a gastro emptying scan. However, after the blood work results came back immediately the doctors office was calling us at 8:30 a.m. to tell us the news that every person dreads. The Secretary informs us that the blood tests came back and there are signs that Miranda may have an intestinal disease along with her stomach problems. So the doctor has scheduled Miranda for a colonoscopy for Next Wednesday.
To say the least we have been a little stressed. Along with this news I am trying to continue doing JMC Ministries along with my college education and trying to take care of Miranda all at the same time. But thankfully Miranda's family have stepped in to take care of her while I'm in school on days she is very sick and needs someone to stay with her or she goes to stay with family for a few days so they can monitor her in case she gets sick, which sadly is nearly every day now. Miranda has severe pains in her intestines to the point she is crying out in pain. And all I can do is hold her hand and pray, I feel completely helpless and we just cry out to God for help.
The only good news in all this is that Miranda is now on new medication for her stomach that is helping. However, her days are scheduled around taking medication every 2-3 hours to keep her from being sick to her stomach. In a 24 hour period Miranda takes up to 9 pills just so she can eat some what normally, but even then her intestine problems still keep her sick most days.
We are in desperate need of prayer, and a healing touch from the Lord. Miranda has been sick like this for over 3 years now and it is truly taking a toll on us physically, mentally and spiritually.
As for JMC Ministries I am continuing do what I can when I have time, but the ministry has taken a back seat because of Miranda's illness. But on days I get a break as well as Miranda we are still doing Eternal Flame News, JMC Live and writing and talking to people who ask for Prayer and are in need.
We will keep all of you updated on Miranda's condition as we find out more what is going on after the colonoscopy and other tests are run.
God Bless you friends
