Echo Cardiogram Results

Hello!! And happy day after Easter!

So, as you may recall from a previous blog post, when I had septic shock last April I went into cardiac arrest, my heart enlarged, and wasn't able to pump an adequate amount of oxygen.

Welllllll, a week ago I had an echocardiogram (like an ultrasound of the heart) done and my Doctor let me know today that my heart is completely normal. No signs of enlargement, no problems pumping.... its all good! Thank you all for your prayers and support!!

My health has been quite up and down the last few years, and the good MRI and Echocardiogram have been tremendous blessings.

I continue to learn a lot through all of this, and am continually encouraged by
2 Corinthians 4:5-18
For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.

For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.


But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us.

We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair;

persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed;

always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.

For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh.

So death is at work in us, but life in you.

Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, "I believed, and so I spoke," we also believe, and so we also speak,

knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence.


For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.


So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day.

For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison,


as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.


Loving my life as a Jar of Clay,

Kelly
