If I didn't know any better, I would think the title would indicate a countdown to some fun event coming up, but reality kicks in and I realize that is the counting up of a migraine. Today starts day 24 of this migraine for Amanda. We received a glimpse of hope this morning when she indicated her migraine pain level had come down some...originally it had been a constant 9 out of 10 (10 being the worst pain ever) and now it is hovering between 7 to 8 out of 10. While it's frustrating to see that it hasn't dropped drastically, it is reassuring that we are turning the corner and the cycle has begun to break. Now, I sit and pray that the cycle continues breaking and we no longer need to have our "count up". Also, I know Amanda wants to be back home and in her own bed (well, so do I) holding her puppy and just being comfortable.
Amanda is one tough cookie! Last night they put a PICC line in to help with the administration of the meds and she had it placed "cold turkey"...no topical numbing, etc, and she watched the whole procedure take place! My girl is amazing to me!
I know God does not give us more than we can handle, but times such as these I sometimes wonder where my point of breaking is. Perhaps that is when the tears flow and I feel that ache in my heart. I'm human! But, when my composure is regained I once again rest in my Father's arms knowing there is a purpose to this pain and suffering. What the purpose is we may never know, but I know the plan is far greater than anything I could ever come up with.
So, as I sit and wait, I continue to pray for my princess...God's princess...praying the nasty migraine flees, cuz it just is not wanted at all!
