Yesterday was the moment we had been patiently waiting for for the past 9 months. For those of you who haven’t been following along, this year started off with lots of joy as we found out we were expecting our third baby. Then right after that discovery, I went to see and ENT doctor because I had been having issues taking deep breaths these past few years. I never expected them to find anything. So we were shocked when they showed me the laryngoscopy camera footage showing areas they wanted to biopsy. The problem was that anesthesiology didn’t want to do the procedure while I was pregnant. Since I was only a few weeks along at that point, I had to wait until November.
At some point during the months of waiting, I decided to stop letting fear into my life. I wouldn’t be able to change the result by stressing over it. And if anything it would just make my life miserable. So I chose to put it in the back of my mind and focus on the beautiful current life God has given me.
I can only attribute the calmness I’ve felt during this last month to the presence of God. I can’t explain it, but I wasn’t even worried about it. I mean, we brought all three kids to the appointment. That’s pretty gutsy considering a possible negative diagnosis.
Everything came back normal & cancer free!!! All the areas they were concerned with were all benign. After all the long months of waiting. I have to go back in 6 months for another check up, but we are in the clear!
I can finally take a deep breath.
What wonderful news! Praise the Lord! And what a dear, little guy. Enjoy the cuddles. 🙂
I’m so glad you waited. You know, it is believe that the average healthy person “has” cancer multiple times in life but the body heals itself. Maybe waiting gave your body this opportunity. Or maybe the LORD shielded you. Either way, you learned to rest in Him. I’m so glad your health is in the clear! xo
Thank you Jesus. Also thank you for sharing your journey and watercolors.

YAY!!! Thank you Jesus!
Wow, I just read thru all your updates and I was literally on pins and needles. I went thru something very similar a few years back when I was pregnant with my son. I was so scared! Mine turned out being my thyroid. I saw many doctors, none who could ease my breathing issues. This may sound out in left field but the only thing that finally eased it, was going gluten-free. Apparently for me, gluten was causing inflammation to my thyroid, therefore causing the restricted breathing. I’m very happy that everything turned out okay with you and that you listened to your gut and put your baby first 😍.
Thank you so much Myrtle! Wow- how crazy! Our stories are so similar. I did get a thyroid ultrasound (which is what initially lead me to the ENT because they couldn’t see anything wrong) but I’m going to look into that, as I still have issues with breathing. I’ve found that using lavender essential oils helps.
