Up Dates

I was at the lung dr's yesterday and he is still not happy with what my lungs sound like. Still some wheezing.I have to stay on the steroids-yuk! I hate them. I was hoping to get off this new medicine they started me on in the hospital. The side effects can be bad, and one is it makes my risks of seizures higher. I had one when I was in the recovery room, and haven't felt great since I have been home, kinda laid low. He feels like it has done some good, and wants to wait and see what the neurologists says about it. I see him later in May. They are looking into seeing if I'm a candidate for a shot called Xolair. I would get it every 2 to 4 weeks. He is also going to get things started for me to see Dr Sally Wenzel, an asthma specialists in Pittsburgh. She is supposed to be cutting edge for treating severe asthma. They don't know what else to do for me. He said I'm his hardest case he's ever had. I told him don't feel too bad, I've never been normal in anything health related. Why should this be different? This isn't the first time I have heard this from a Doctor!!

I haven't put a hymn on for a few days--- the one I want to put on today
Count Your Blessings

1Thessalonians 5:18

"In everything give thanks: for this is the

will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,

Count you many blessing, name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord has done.

Refrain

Count you blessings, name them one by one,

Count your blessings, see what God hath done!

Count you blessings, name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,

And you will be singing as the days go by.

Refrain

When you look at others with their lands and gold,

Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;

Count you many blessings money cannot buy

Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

Refrain

So, amid your conflict whether great or small,

Do not be disheartened, God is over all;

Count you many blessings, angels will attend,

Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.

Refrain

Count your blessings, name them one by one,

Count your blessings, see what God has done!

Count your blessings, name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord has done!
