THE WHOLE STORY WITH EVERY DETAIL:
Read the whole blog word for word.  I do not recommend this option.  It is there, but I had so many things wrong.  Reading about the fear and the struggle and the pain in great detail would not benefit you in any way.  God says in His Word that we should think on things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy.  I long for the God of peace to be with you, as He is with me!

AFTER WE WERE HEALED:
God blessed us with another child right after He healed us.  It was a gift!  I got to experience a normal and healthy pregnancy, without fear!  Yay!!!  Every pregnancy symptom that came my way drove me to pray, and I saw every symptom go away.  Jesus is Lord of All!
