I came across a news article about a young boy who also suffers from Nephrotic Syndrome. I am always interested in reading about other children and families who are also dealing with Nephrotic Syndrome. This story brought tears to my eyes, I could relate to this Mother and child, the many ups and downs of N.S.
The feeling that you are never really out of the woods, always waiting for the other shoe to drop. I came across a quote from Eugene Peterson in the New Testament, "The Message", that describes where I aspire to be and I wanted to share it with you too. "Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes". As a life long worrier, this has been very hard for me to do. As each day passes and Ethan continues to be well, it gives me great hope and encouragement. At the same time, if Ethan were to turn around and relapse tomorrow, I know that God will still be there to help us through. Even though I would give anything to never go through this again. To find a cure, not only for Ethan, but for all of the other children and families, who are also suffering. I know, and believe in my heart, that God is faithful, and he who has begun a good work in me (you) will carry it on to completion.
