The ANA test was high. They are waiting on the actual number to determine the next test they need to run. Here is an example.


How is it used?
When is it ordered?
What does the test result mean?
Is there anything else I should know?

How is it used?
The ANA test is ordered to help screen for autoimmune disorders and is most often used as one of the tests to diagnose systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Depending on the patient’s symptoms and the suspected diagnosis, ANA may be ordered along with one or more other autoantibody tests. Other laboratory tests associated with presence of inflammation, such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and/or C-reactive protein (CRP) may also be ordered. ANA may be followed by additional tests that are considered subsets of the general ANA test and that are used in conjunction with the patient’s clinical history to help rule out a diagnosis of other autoimmune disorders.

She was hurting again tonight! The weird thing is her sed rate was low. That means there isn't alot of inflammation in her body. What is causing the pain? I am thinking her body is having a mock reaction to the Remicade.

It is time for this sorry infirmity to leave her body. There is no infirmity,no matter how bad that Jesus can't heal.
So we call on the Great Physician Jesus to help us one more time.
We reach out to Virginia with our faith and say "Jesus heal her. set her free from this sickness from hell. Give us victory and show your mighty,mighty hand.
Jesus himself took our infirmities on Calvary. And so we come against this intruder in the name of the King,Jesus. You will no longer cause sickness. You will leave her in Jesus' name. The cross is against you.The blood is against you. The empty tomb is against you and the mighty risen King is against you. You will no longer operate in her. We evict you and cast you out of her and say NEVER,EVER WILL YOU EVER COME BACK. We declare healing upon her and to her and perfect health for her body,mind,and spirit.

Lord send you angels to protect her and minister to her. And lord put a special hedge around her and personally protect her from any further attacks.

We disallow sickness upon her and we say NO to you sickness. You WILL obey and you will leave her.
May she be COMPLETELY RESTORED TO BETTER HEALTH THAN SHE HAD BEFORE. Yes this is her testimony,...totally healed.
She will walk in health ,in perfect health. IT belongs to her. It is hers.

Now,every curse spoken over her I break you in Jesus name. Every evil intent and satanic influence ,I break you in Jesus' name.
I go after the cause and root of this infirmity and cut you off from her. Get off and get out of her in Jesus name..

Let her be totally and miraculously freed to the glory of the mighty King Jesus.
The risen one whose beauty and loveliness is absolutely beyond words.

This is her testimony. Amen

Frustrating, I know, but "take it easy" is as much a part of adult living as "full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes." And wisdom is knowing when neutral is a faster gear for moving down the road than hyper-drive.

Hello Blazer,

I went to the 'Falls Bridge' today and what I hoped to accomplish there will be a common thread in all my writings this Evening. My prayers for You, your Daughter and your entire Family were offered up to God there. I hope and pray that the Good Lord took special notice. He certainly knows your Daughters needs better than I will ever be able to comprehend. I pray that He finds it in His Graces to relieve and solve all that which is giving her such a hard time.

Be well Lady and God Bless,

Jim

If you don't have time for the cartoon at the beginning wait till it loads then manually run the slider along till you get to the end then release - it'll go back to the beginning and load the main show (after the main show there is another one with arial views).

It was really fun for us to watch... (nothing political)

Then GROWL about the no call back! Toooooooo rude! They should know you're dangling in worry and be able to at least call back to give reassurance.

But, then, there's the adage about "no news is good news," I suppose.

And patience is a Christian virtue.

Okay, just got back from the Dr. Everything looked good. We decided to lesson the dose of remicade and try 8 week intervals. He is going to give her a steroid to lesson the chance of allergic reaction. If she has similar side effects, he is going to take her off the Remicade and keep her on 6mp. He may try her on Humera. He ordered some more extensive blood tests. She goes back in three months. So keep praying and keep your fingers crossed!

I'm just hoping the sides were that bad because she just didn't need that much of the stuff.

What I'm really wanting is a total and complete cure of the miraculous type so she someday is 100% free of the crap, all of the crap, and nothing but the crap. Just cause I'm a knucklehead optimist.

She's got books and kids to work on now -- and patients in the future -- who need her healthy and strong, able and willing to help assauge their own hurts and pains and griefs. Set it right, LORD. Set it right, back into some semblance of balance, as You designed it to be from the Beginning of time itself. Her heart is willing. Now make her body able. Amen.

Here is a poem I wrote for Memorial Day:

I remember the ones who stood brave and tall.
The ones who are willing to give their all.
The ones who fight so we can be free.
The ones who take the place of you and me.
The ones who are proud of our flag.
They do what they do and never brag.
They leave their children and their husbands and wives.
To fight for us, to risk their lives.
May they always be blessed in all they do.
Standing in the gap for me and you.
I love our flag.
Long may she wave.
Over the land
of the free and the brave!

The ones who take the place of you and me.
The ones who are proud of our flag.
They do what they do and never brag.
They leave their children and their husbands and wives.
To fight for us, to risk their lives.
May they always be blessed in all they do.
Standing in the gap for me and you.
I love our flag.
Long may she wave.
Over the land
of the free and the brave!

Here is a poem I wrote for Memorial Day:

I remember the ones who stood brave and tall.
The ones who are willing to give their all.
The ones who fight so we can be free.
The ones who take the place of you and me.
The ones who are proud of our flag.
They do what they do and never brag.
They leave their children and their husbands and wives.
To fight for us, to risk their lives.
May they always be blessed in all they do.
Standing in the gap for me and you.
I love our flag.
Long may she wave.
Over the land
of the free and the brave!

Hello Blazer,

You and your Family are always in my prayers. Even when I don't articulate them here for a variety of reasons. The prayers are still offered up.

The Good Lord knows I have my 'moments' too. Hopefully they will get fewer and much farther between in my scrambled up brain.

You and Yours are in my Prayers to the Good Lord.

Be well Lady,

God's Grace is always just what we need! We get down and out but He is always there to pick us up and wrap His loving arms around us! We never shed a tear that God doesn't see. We never pray a prayer that He doesn't hear! We never have a hurt that he doesn't feel! When we feel down cast and forgotten, we need to remember He loves us and forgives us! He thinks about us when the person we love the most in this world forgets us. I don't need to use Jesus as a spare tire and just pick Him up when I am sad or alone and afraid. He is just waiting for me to reach out and accept the love and comfort only He can offer! I am truly thankful for this! I claim His promises right now! I claim His peace that passes all understanding. I claim His love that far surpasses anything we could ever feel on this earth! I claim His grace and mercy and forgiveness! Without all of this, I would be lost! I claim the healing balm of his love that can mend a broken heart! I take all my worries, all my cares, all my pain, all my losses and I place them at my savior's feet!

Blazer that is excellent news!!! Absolutely outstanding. I loved what you wrote the other day about how Our Lord picks us up when we need it the most. Sometimes it is without us even asking. Amazing isn't it.

I am so glad to see Virginia doing so well. I have to go for my yearly colonoscopy within the next couple of weeks. I am not like everyone else that can drink that jug and go. With me I have to drink the jug, it works a little and then the next day I have to use citrate of magnesia, then Fleets Phospha Soda along with three enemas over the course of three days to be totally clean for the team, so to speak. It is both draining and tiring but I promised my children that I would not be a victim of colon cancer like my Dad was. So, I go to the gastroenterologist next week and then pick a date and off to the hospital we go. It is a long draw out process for me but you do what you have to do.

Had three out of four weekends of being in the hosptial in May due to Crohn's and other issues with my back. Glad I am doing better at this point. Also have the ovarian cysts back but this time they seem to have burst on their own, which was painful enough, so no intervention this time by GYN doc. Thank the Lord for that one.

I continue to have Virginia and you on my prayer list, along with everyone here that usually writes. I don't forget any of you even if I am not around.

God bless you.

Not just living, dear one. THRIVING!

She has found her calling in this world, reached out and grabbed it by the horns, and is wrestling it to the ground to submit to her, her own heart submitted to the LORD in turn.

She's turning into one FIIIIIIIIIINE super fine woman after God's Own Heart, fit to walk in His Shoes, as her mother has done for so many many years.

She walks victorious, even as Deborah walked, strong and sure and steady as the Rock of Gibralter, a woman to rely on in times of trouble, a woman to rejoice with in times of peace and tranquility. A woman after God's own heart.

Let your mother's heart rest easy, knowing your daughter walks in the Shadow of the LORD, His for ever and a day.

One day at a time, one task faced, one burden carried one more step along the Way of Life. This is truly the Power of our Lord Jesus -- the love for one another and for Him which He supplies all who trust Him.

Psalm 103:1-5


1 Praise the LORD, O my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits- 3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases, 4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion, 5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

Praying for the Lord's healing words to be manifested in Virginia this day. May she put her faith and trust in you, O Lord, for strength, perseverence and deliverence over this sickness.

And may the God of hope fill her and her entire family with joy and peace as they turst in you, so that they will overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
