Hello my friends,
For the last 4 or so months, there has been something changed with my Barretts, my voice has changed to a lower pitch and sometimes comes out uneven. I can't easily clear my lungs either in the morning. This, if it's what I think it is would be a reap/sow type situation. I suppose I should have called the Dr. back then but, just didn't care really. I know, not the correct attitude.
So, I ask my brothers and sisters on here to pray God's will, and that I would have time to get things in order in case He is calling me home.
I do not fear death if this is where it will lead. I've asked God to please let my two remaining beloved dogs be taken well care of. And, that my nieces and nephews would be drawn to Jesus.
I have an endoscopy in May and an appointment for my GP the 20th of this month, my GP will most likely order a chest x ray.
Thanks in advance my brothers and sisters!

Nancy I am praying. God is good, He is sovereign and you are in His loving arms. May he keep you covered, may he keep you content and may you know His comfort and strength as well as the peace that transcends understanding.

:pray:
A med change for GERD, just mostly routine. I'm on a waiting list to see if I can get into the Endoscopy center sooner, someone might cancel. Thank you for thinking of me and praying too my beloved brother! It's all in God's hands and, who other than His hands would I put anything at all?? Amen and God love you bro, and so do I.

Thank you, Pearl! And how is your grandbaby doing today?
My son says she is fully recovered no but he still can't see her as their other little girl has chicken pox and is living with him just now. Rachel said that the new baby was 'good' and quiet before the diagnosis but that must have been because she was poorly. Now she is more demanding! Which is good. I don't know when we'll get to see her again.

Oh, I'm sure it is hard for you to keep away from them both. Do you face time with them? One of my nephews and his wife have one year old twins (they WILL and do have their hands full, lol...they are identical!) They face time all the time. They are in Tenn. and my sister gets there like once a year on the girl's birthdays.

They live quite near us but because Gareth and Rachel are estranged we only get to see the baby if she brings her here. She banned Gareth from having access to the other little girl sho is now six and that went through the courts. She is not nice person so we hope and pray.

The pox runs through children . I never got the chicken pox as a child .
None of my brothers did either .
But as an adult my brother got it and due to i live with him i got it too .
Its worse as an adult . But , THE LORD is with the lambs . We will continue in prayer dear sister .

Thank you brother...how kind to say. There is no fear here, zero actually. I have Jesus as my comforter, and all of you to lift me up, and you DO.
Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning :)
God bless and keep you in His hands!

Nancy, how did I miss this?!?! You have always been so caring and there when I have needed prayer or comfort…or to talk. I’m so sad reading this. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Your strength is admirable; like an elder sister. ❤️

I am looking up Barretts now…I don’t know what it is?

Oh sweet sister, do not be sad for me! I've not gotten a conclusive diagnosis yet in any case. Will find out in May for sure unless they have a cancelation beforehand. Thank you for caring!
Just glad I'm on my way out rather than just coming into this world! Amen. I will keep all updated for sure!
Thanks Vic!

What do mean by not knowing if God is calling you home? Do you think you have throat or lung cancer? Aw, Nancy...
Well, I don't think throat cancer but, never know. My guess would be esophageal issues. I've had Barrett's syndrome for a lot of years and GERD for even longer. I do not and will not know anything for sure until May, unless a cancelation comes along.
Thank you for the concern TLP! Yer a dolly!
If The Lord is in it, I am happy that His will be done, amen!
