Choosing Healing

After a year of fighting this bacterial blood infection, I found out that it is not gone. It began with a  visit to the specialist two weeks ago when he told me that I might need to do another course of antibiotics. I was pretty sure that I would not. I was feeling great, coughing a little and pretty sure I had whipped the bug. He sent me home with the instructions to call in if I started coughing more than I was.

Then last Sunday I began coughing. Each day it got a little worse. On Tuesday I called the specialist and was surprised when he did not call me back. On Wednesday I did the Ropes Course with the other pastors and was coughing a bit worse. On Thursday I was worse again so I by the end of the day I was struggling to breath and called to find out the specialist was out of town. They sent me to my primary care doctor who listened to my lungs, did an emergency breathing treatment and put me back on a month long course of antibiotics, along with every four hour nebulizer treatments.

So now I am a few days into treatment and beginning to feel better, but still trying to take it easy. I am planning on mostly working short days while I get back on my feet again. I am refusing to let this set back discourage me.

I choose health, I choose healing. I just need to get out of the way and let God do what He does best.
