Each day M-F i need treatment with potassium. I have a daily standing appointment at the Wynship Infusion Center located at EMJC. (They have other locations for Emory but this is arguably the best.) I will continue to attend each day, however, due to ambulatory disability regulations for most corporate medical facilities.

The bottom line for potassium is 2.6K. Otherwise, it is not considered ambulatory but critical care.

Again, this is all about liability and outpatient care.My situation is an anomaly for WACH. These rules were not written and I am stuck between a rock & a hard place. If I get to my treatment and my labs, and they don't result at a 2.6 or higher, I have to report to the ER. Considering that my baseline has been 2.5 for the last nine months, that's a pipe dream! We are now not only fighting the disease, but also the process of trying to treat it. Everything just conitnues to be stacked.

I am not forlorn and I'm not forsaken. God is bigger than all of it. I can, however. admit that I'm fairly weary at this point of the side effects, the pain, the loneliness, as I enter more of a life in the hospital. More time away from my son and family, or depression and new questions every day. The journey has been interesting for sure, but one of the greatert blessings along the way, and because of that, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

So until anything changes in the near future between infusion center and the ER......

I want to extend my absolute gratitude for all of the uplifting encouragement and help from our friends & community! I couldn't have done it without them. I just know it couldn't be done without God & His community!

No one could ever tell me that God doesn’t talk!

I am on a roller coaster ride and not the kind. I enjoy to say the least. As I approach Monday, tomorrow morning, I am in the same boat. Will I have to go into the hospital and if I do will I come out?

this is an incredibly difficult thing to go through as a person and also as a family and now I’m also understanding as a community. I know that you care about us as if we were one under God’s glorious umbrella. I know that it is a struggle to hear me go back-and-forth and not to know what is serious and when it’s not. Although everything for me now is serious it’s a life. I don’t really understand and I can’t really explain to other people but I’m so blessed that you walk along the side of me and Care regardless I’m gonna keep saying thank you because it’s just not sufficient enough. Again I have to have a 2.5K to avoid admitting. It’s no way shape or form SAFE Haven. It’s just the baseline that we have established for me with some certainty of my tolerance.  I’m going to share picture for you. That will explain. I think in detail in one snapshot the seriousness of where I am. All you have to do is google the numbers. I say all that to say is that this is a huge message from God that it’s not my time yet there is no way to explain how I’m doing this without him. And I am truly a believer to know that it is my fellow believers that are, keeping me with a forward step. And for all of you that know your scripture. Well, thank you for not being those that were walking alongside Job!  I can count my friends all as extremely supportive and loving!

Thank you and bless you!

GOD IS BIGGER!

I wanted to give you guys a quick update!

i’ve since been hospitalized for a few days as I dipped dangerously low. All functions and abilities were leaving. The amount of prayers that were lifted up on my behalf are completely responsible for me being able to regroup and start treatment on this side of heaven. I’m not denying that heaven looks pretty good right now, but that’s not God’s plan and I am incredibly lacking and worth however I’m full of gratitude and I say awe of my most precious God!  Thank you friends, thank you for extending the most beautiful Christlike love to me and my family. PLEASE 🙏 keep those prayers coming!!🙏💜🙏💜🙏✝️

I have made it through January!  I’m reflective of just how BIG God is. Due to the numerous closures over the holidays and due to weather, I’ve had a tremendously difficult month. I would like to blame the schedule and not my body!! In all seriousness, I am stuck with a 2.4K level. This is critical. I cannot afford any activity unnecessary. This means I have had to step back from my ministry roles: Nursery, D-group leader, and City Impact for Johns Creek. In addition, I had to step back from my board role at Autry Mill Middle School. I can only express my great struggle with health and sadness. I desperately need prayers. I truly believe God created me to serve and I’m completely lost in this journey. I am grateful and blessed for every moment I have lived by sheer mercy and grace. I am human, however, and I am weary. I will continue to trust HIM🙏✝️

If you are reading this, then I know you care about me and my family and I want you to know how powerful you and your prayers have been!!!! I do not doubt miracles are from God! Every day I persevere is for his Glory. God made possible through your Christlike behavior bestowed on our family!!

THANK YOU 🙏 

I’m deeply touched by all of your support efforts!

I have continued with my treatment over the Christmas season and I can be nothing but feeling blessed. It is beyond my comprehension why so many, some who don’t know me or my family, would give. I am reminded of God's beautiful orchestral abilities!  

I do want to be transparent with you regarding my health. Unfortunately my potassium has dropped back down, critically. I have also had 2 severe cases of crashing from hypoglycemic events that involved me teetering with consciousness. Our newly teenage son had to respond to his mom laying on the floor. I say all this to remind us all just how precious and fleeting life can be. I’m extremely grateful for all the support and gifts. especially as I know this is a huge season of spending!  You just cannot fully imagine how much help this has provided 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜✝️ THANK YOU🥰🥰🥰🙏

Blessings,

Trisha 

It's been an incredibly blessed season! It took a lot to ask for help,

and through a lot of heartfelt tears, I trusted God. Unabashedly,

all guards down, purely faithful trust in God!

I cannot express to you how great of a response or how loud

it was!

One, within days , enough money was donated that literally will

take us through the first two months of the next year!! 

You cannot have any idea what peace that brings to me & my family!

I can't imagine what anyone else is going through at this point in time, but

I pray each and every day that God blesses you and I can't thank you enough.

The LEWIS team can't thank you enough for how you blessed us.

I also know that we have been blessed in ways that are not through this campaign

and for all of those that can read this, we are truly thankful.

I would like you to know that my medical status has not changed; however, for

the first time of treatment after the campaign went public....I had my first raise in

my numbers!!!!

Please don't stop praying1 THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Blessings,

Trisha
