Dear Family and Friends, Wow! What a beautiful day! Not sure I like the cool weather, it reminds me of whats to come. Ha!Ha! Im Sorry for the silence, I know there have been alot of thoughts and prayers for me and I really appreciate it, more than words can say! My silence has been wrapped up with so many emotions, fear, saddness, anger, guilt. I didnt want to say out loud what was happening to me in my everyday life, it was easier to pretend. Fake it until you can make it! Ha! Ha! I was just having a harder time faking it! Just taking a shower was kicking my butt! The pressure in my chest had increased, all my symptoms had increased and it was affecting my heart. I was spending more time on the couch due to the difficulty breathing and chest pain. My mind trying to figure out what to do. Cleveland had called the end of June with more specialist opinions of possible developing Pulmonary Hypertension and the decision to try and get in with more docs but it may take time to get in. Now, anyone who knows me knows patience is not my vertu! I just felt I was slipping away daily. My dear friend Roxanne would come over and walk with me in the mornings for a little over a week at the end of June, it was at such a slow pace but God had a plan. Due to having some issues that caused Roxanne some pain during our walk, she decided to go see a chiropractor physician in Troy, Dr. David Besecker. During her appt she mentioned my situation. He asked if I would call and meet with him and with no positive info coming from Cleveland, what did I have to lose! I am a believer in alternative forms of medicine and know intergrating with conventional medicine is the best. Now with that being said, God is the great physician and I truly know he guides many hands here on earth! Dr. Besecker is so knowledgeable about the body and the neurological system. After giving him the Dr. glaze over the eyes look with my history, he said give him 2 wks to see if we can make improvements. Seeing him daily during the last few weeks. After intensive neuro testing, the results confirmed what Dr. Raymond from Cleveland thought, cranial nerve 10, the vagal nerve. With symptoms in my brain similar to a stroke and all the way thru to symptoms of spinal trauma effecting down to my pelvis. He has been doing many different treatments, light therapy, we have had some small changes but not giving up. My symptoms were increasing and came to me crying out to God and my family from the side of the Iddings Rd after the hills and curves caused me so much dizziness and feeling like I would pass out. I was very defeated at that moment. Knowing all the prayers of support, I drew on that strength and went to docs Monday morning, symptoms were still very bad. Dr. Besecker decided to take a step of faith and I am here to say, God has directed his healing decision and we had a break thru! He was able to release and open up my chest! I can breathe deeper than ever, my speech is coming and I can even sing half the Bible song! This is HUGE! Still weak and have a long way to go but just needed to Praise God and Thank Dr. Besecker for not giving up! All of you who continue to support and pray for me! GOD BLESS AND LOVE TO ALL!!
