From Tumor to Typo

Wow! What a week this has been!

First of all, thank you SO MUCH for your many prayers, kind words, and encouraging notes regarding my last post. Your prayers have been answered! In short, I don’t have a tumor…it was a typo by the transcriptionist on the MRI report. I DON’T have a meningioma on my spine. I DO have a hemangioma, but that’s an entirely different matter. It’s actually more like an internal birthmark/strawberry. It’s not the source of my back pain, and it’s certainly nothing that requires an invasive procedure. I probably never would have known about it had the MRI not been done to seek the source of my back pain.

So, anytime the Lord prompts you, I still welcome your prayers regarding the back pain. I would love to have it go away permanently. In the meantime, I’ll be starting a different treatment plan (including physical therapy) that I pray will fix the problem.

I can’t tell you how LARGE the lesson was for me in this. God spoke clearly to me through it, and I love how He could take something so looming as a potential tumor diagnosis and reduce to something as minor as a typo. Only God, friends. Only God!
