Yet another trip to the doctor...

And it was great news! I do not know how to explain the details of what looks good from my bloodwork - but suffice it to say the doctor was very happy.
We adjusted some of my medications (down to 1 potassium horsepill from 4).
I will still have to get my bloodwork and go in for check-ups - not to mention other appointments.
The doctor did stress that I have to be closely monitored for another 5 months. I am by no means out of the woods yet but I am obviously doing all the right things (and God is working miracles). This requires still getting plenty of rest - which he is most cautious about right now - and keeping on the low sodium diet as much as possible.
Thank you all for your prayers - but please do not stop now! As the doctor said, things could change in a heartbeat.
I just got back from taking Jared to the doctor. He has a bronchial infection but the doctor is giving him flu medication to be cautious for my sake. The flu could land me right back in the hospital - so I am washing my hands liberally. Please pray for our household and sweet little Jared because this will likely throw him out of football for the week.

Coincidence (or what I like to call "God things"):
While I was in the hospital, Jared befriended a new boy in his grade, Clark. I had never met the mother or any of the family. Clay and Clark's parents worked out some play dates with the boys.
No one had told Clark's Mom I was in the hospital or at home sick. She must have thought I was some sort of absentee mother because she also had left messages on the home machine I was not checking (and Clay does not have the code).
Clark's Mom, Brenda, finally caught wind of my condition.
I have still not met Brenda or the rest of Clark's family but Jared has been over there some more and is really enjoying it.
Brenda emailed me today while I was writing this post. She mentioned she had read the blog briefly a COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO (this is key) but had not read it since.
She said Lamentations 3 has helped her through hard times, so I just now read it.
1) This chapter (and others) in Lamentations are acrostic POEMS. Can you believe my post last night talked about me wanting to read more poems?
2) Last week I wrote about practicing aloha. This is from the notes of the Life Application Bible regarding Lamentations 3:21: "God's compassion never ends. Compassion is love in action." Aloha = love in action!!!
