It was almost like a partial throat paralysis and definite dysphagia. Sounds like it was not as severe (I’ve been managing it from home and his doctors said just to watch it as long as he can tolerate soft foods like shakes) but man is it unerving. Will be praying with understanding and following as you learn what’s going on, and as we decide whether to pursue further treatment.

Incredibly, I just recently re-discovered the journal you gave me before we came to Thailand (almost 9 years ago now!), and I was encouraged and reminded of the friendship he gave us at the 'cycle' ;-) of life when we needed it. Crazy to think how much time has passed since then and how radically different our lives look now. I have lately been caught in the mundane of the daily stuff, and not too long ago realized how costly it has been to have no fellowship, getting spiritually drier and drier without a team around us like we used to have. So THANK YOU for this sweet balm to my dry soul - just read through Eph 1 again for the second time this week, and am so blessed by the eternal Truth of the Hope to which he has called us! <br /><br />Blessings to you!<br />-rachel :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28113156.post-10047082022935246732015-03-26T15:04:26.619-04:002015-03-26T15:04:26.619-04:00Anna, I have prayed for you for a long time and h...Anna, I have prayed for you for a long time and have kept up with you from a distance through your blog.
