So I just found out from looking at the lab values from our visit to the ER that Adahlia’s liver enzymes are elevated, which indicates liver damage, and there is glucose in her urine, well above normal, which means the iron is getting overloaded into her system and is causing pancreas damage also. There are no ways to measure how much iron is being stored in and damaging her heart.

My surgery is scheduled for this Friday and I really, really don’t want to do it. Getting laid up and risking more inflammation is the last thing I need. It might be foolish, but I want to postpone it. Adahlia just got out of the ER, after all. I am seeing a great practitioner tomorrow who specializes in release work and trying to make an appointment for visceral manipulation with an expert in Seattle. Both of those appointments are for myself, but my hope is that we are so tied together that healing myself will heal her.

The question is, do I risk further kidney damage or do I have time to make this happen naturally?

Adahlia and I are both running out of time. We need a miracle.

In the meantime, she naps, so I will do qigong and energy work.

And I leave you with this prayer:

God, grant us courage, joy and the strength to trust in your plan for us.
