Fantastic News!

Hey, y'all --

I've got fantastic news! First of all, I want to thank everyone for their prayers. Bill has no more pain in his head! He even had to cancel the nerve block scheduled for this afternoon! God is such a good God.

See, for people with bipolar disorder, something like pain can be a trigger for an episode. So we have had to watch him real close. Even those with BP can get just a regular depression, so you can't just jump to the conclusion that it's an episode, either, so there's a fine line there. And for the supporter it's hard, too, because you can get depressed as well, just watching your loved one be in pain. That's why it's been so wonderful to finally see him out of pain! To say nothing of having my wonderful husband back again! :)

And my 18-year-old in-denial BP son who just moved out came for a visit last night and it was a good visit. Of course, he just got a lip ring, but despite that, he looked good and was polite and respectful. I just have to accept the fact that even tho he's my baby, he's not a baby any more. He's become very independent.

The hard part is tho he's got BP symptoms, if he goes into an episode, he has to accept the consequences for himself. I got him diagnosed when he was 12, but now he says he was misdiagnosed, even tho he took the meds for 4 yrs. So at least he was helped for 4 yrs. But now I have to let go and it's his responsibility. The good news is no episode since then.

Well, I hope y'all are doing ok. Let me hear from you, ok? And thanks again for all your prayers. They worked! :)

Remember God loves you and so do I!
Michele
