Don't you worry 'bout a thing

"Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God." - Phil. 4:6

There are so many wonderful verses in the bible about trusting God in all circumstances.  They always bring me such hope, peace, and joy knowing that He is in control of my life and constantly working for my good.

I have officially been scheduled for another round of IVIG this month.  It will be the same 5-day treatment that I had in December, but this time it can be done as an outpatient.  I am SO thankful to not need to be admitted to the hospital during my treatment, even though I will still be gone and "hooked up" for up to 8 hours a day.  I'm planning on doing some reading, some blogging, and lots of praying.  I'm hopeful that I will not have many of the unpleasant side effects that can come from the treatment, and trusting that God will be with me as He always is.

I'm praying that this second round of treatment will help alleviate my remaining pain and other symptoms, and allow me to lead a more active life (Eli isn't getting any slower in the running department).  I'm also praying that this treatment will prevent a major relapse once Abigail is born (something that I've been very concerned about, and is common with CIDP patients).

Would you join me in prayer, friends? Pray that this treatment is successful, with minimal complications.  Please also pray for my emotional health, as I will be away from my sweet baby toddler which has become especially hard after being hospitalized.  Let us also pray in a special way for those who are suffering with illnesses that have no treatment, no sign of relief, and those that don't have access to the treatment they need.  May God comfort them and surround them with His unending love.

My treatment will begin the week of the 23rd, after my EMG/NCS are re-done (to compare with Decembers test results).  How may I pray for each of you?
