That's a scary word.
Faith.
That's a comforting word.
It's also a much more powerful word.
God commands us to have Faith. Faith doesn't know the meaning of the word incurable.
God can cure anything and anyone.
Madi was blessed enough to see that to fruition.
In 2016, after years of weekly fevers, breathing treatments, weekly doctor visits, numerous rounds of steroids, terrifying weight loss, and many days of missed school, she was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis.
Bronchiectasis is an INCURABLE, chronic illness.
About a year 1/2 ago, Paul and I made the difficult decision to take Madi off of her medication because we had seen vast improvement in her condition. She was on a corticosteroid inhaler twice a day, nebulizer treatments once a day, albuterol inhaler once a day at school, and vest treatments twice a day. After taking her off all of that, she was still thriving! Madi has not had lung issues in almost two years. Because of this, I reached out to get a second opinion on her condition. Despite it being "incurable," she seemed pretty cured to me.
Friday, June 28th, I was told that Madi no longer has Bronchiectasis. Wait, what? It's incurable they said. It will be with her for the rest of her life. She will have to do nebulizer treatments and vest treatments twice a day for years and years.
God had other plans. God CURED her. Oh how incredibly blessed we are! I can't remember now if I ever blogged about this but a few months ago I was at communal prayer at church and I got this overwhelming message from the Holy Spirit that Madi was cured. This was before the second opinion appointment. This was before the X-ray results. This was before the clinical confirmation.
I say all of this to say - Never give up hope. Always have faith. Trust God. And if things don't seem to be going your way, He still has a plan. You may not see it now, but it will all make sense eventually.
THEN NOW
