Timeline from first symptom to diagnosis

Our son Connor was diagnosed with JDM in January of 2010 and here is a bit of a timeline to show you how this diagnosis was reached...

Towards the end of November 2009, Connor mentioned some pain in his right foot. We found a Plantar Wart and began treating it. We went on vacation in Germany were he mentioned a pain in his knee's, to feeling in his own words, pain 'inside his legs'. By the time we got home on December 9, he needed to be carried almost everywhere. By the end of December he was unable to feed himself, dress himself, sit up or down, lay down and of course walk. Here is a list of tests he went through between December 10 to December 28, 2009

X-ray of his Hips
MRI of his spine
X-ray of his chest
CAT Scan of his brain
CAT Scan of his chest
MRI of his chest
MRI of his hips
Numerous Blood Work
Spinal Tap
and we finished with a Muscle Biopsy

There were many speculations of what might be causing Connor so much pain and one of them was Gullian Barre Syndrom (GBS) due to his first symptoms showing up within a few days of his H1N1 Flu Shot.

The final Diagnosis came on January 11, 2010
-Juvenile Dermatomyositis (JDM)-

God and the Super Bowl....

Once again I am faced with the fact that there must be many different 'God's' out there as I feel I believe in a God that lot's of people don't and vice versa ...

I was truly taken back how many people were interviewed that believed that God would be watching the Game tomorrow and that those that pray more will have a better chance at winning ...
Truly, I don't know where to even start with this one but let me try:

So that means that people who love Football think that God will take a 'timeout' of watching over this world and all that is going on to sit back in his recliner to watch ONE country (that's really it when it comes to the Super Bowl) and will put all his focus on ONE game while ignoring the rest of the world and those that might not even care about Football ...

So my advice to you is, don't do anything that might put you in danger as you might get hit by a bus when that first Touchdown happens ... also should you be at Hospice and getting ready to take that last breath tomorrow ... sorry, God won't be able to communicate with you if you decide this should happen during the game! 
Also, if you live in a country right now that is fighting a war, don't ask for help tomorrow as you must know God is very busy answering all those prayers of the players and fan's that are playing or watching that very special game....

Sorry if you feel I am to flippant but goodness people, wake up and don't degrade our one and only God!!!

Nope, that is not the God I hope is looking over us but hey, if you like then lets just chose several Gods... One for Sports, one for Art, one for Politics and one for Gardening. I know here is more, so give me some ideas so we can all make our own lineup on who we should pray for on any given day as I am sure some pray for good grades in school instead of sitting down to study ... so a God of Education maybe???

What do I know?

Rant over!

Hugs,

  1. I think we might be lost soul mates. LOL I have thought the same thing so many times. It is one thing to pray that everyone will be safe but i just think it is very arrogant to assume that first of all God cares about the outcome of a football game and second of all that your prayer has more weight then the prayers for the other team. There are much bigger fish to fry in the world of prayer than a football game.
