God is good!!
so tonight was a rather eventful night for me. i went to the doctor on monday because i had been having problems breathing, i felt like i was always carrying around a heavy bag and it took a lot of energy to breathe. before that i had a sinus infection so i had really been feeling healthy and normal for about a month. tonight i was going to go to bible study and i just started to have serious problems breathing and then my arms started to tingle and i lost most of the feeling in them and my legs started to get tingly. the only people that had arrived for the bible study were me, christy, and teege so they prayed for me and then i decided that it was probably a good idea to go see a doctor. so christy took me to the er. when i first got there i was freaking out because i could barely breathe and my limbs felt like the were asleep. i got checked and they took me back to a room and the nurse told me to try to focus on breathing slower because i was hyperventilating. a little while after that i started to relax and could breathe better. christy read some psalms and then i saw the doctor. by that time i was breathing better and feeling kinda silly for being in the er. they did an echocardiogram and took chest x-rays which all turned out fine so their explanation was that i had anxiety and that was what triggered this. i don't really agree with this because i am not an anxious person by nature and i don't know what i would have been anxious about at the time. i just started getting anxious when i couldn't breathe. after everything was done and i got to leave we ran in to a bunch of friends who had come to see me and had prayed for me. i really don't know what happened all i know is that i am breathing better now then i have been in the past few weeks and God has blessed me with an AMAZING family. and now i am eating ice cream. :)

I just praise the Lord that you are doing well again! I don't think it was anxiety either. I believe that anxiety was TRIGGERED by your inability to breathe, but that didn't CAUSE your inability to breathe. Something else did, we just don't know what yet. I'm praying that we'll all find that out when you have your breathing tests taken! AND that the doctors would be able to fix the problem for GOOD! I'm praying for your continued health, Emily. I was scared when I found out last night, because it would be so hard for me to lose you. You're such a HUGE blessing to all of us Lindenites, Em, you truly are.
thanks katie!! i love you!!
How scary, Em. I'm glad you came out all right. I'll be praying for you as you seek further medical advice, and I'll pray that God would give you miraculous healing permanantly. I love you little sister!! -Wendy
