Thanks, Katinka! For some reason, I couldn't get the note to post this morning, and wanted it up before I went to church. So glad I went this morning; I have a deep conviction that God is mightily at work in all of this for us. Every song this morning touched my soul and flooded my heart with joy. God is awesome!!!
The note and prayer you posted for me went out on Saturday to my friends all over the world. We have had the privilege of living for twelve years in four countries of Europe, plus have relocated in the US nine times. My friends from each place have dispersed to even further across the globe.
The invitation for the research hospital to investigate in our home is a short term offer. We plan to chlorinate our well in the near future, which will destroy available water samples. We are planning to soon release "hypoaspis mites" into our outdoor 1 1/2 acre wooded environment to eliminate the springtails, especially around our home where we have shredded mulch which may have been springtail infested when we put it in. As a final measure, we are looking into tenting the house, a pest control technique used in warmer climates to deprive the home of oxygen so nothing can live inside. Our main floor bathroom where the original springtails emerged (through cracked grouting along the wall of overmoist ground due to a clogged gutter) has been gutted and refinished.
So, please pray with me that they'll care enough to come now. This hospital did a thorough evaluation of my symptoms, and although I don't have a written summary yet from the specialists I saw, the strong insinuation was that they were leaning toward a "DOP" diagnosis. For all of us, to stop this madness and their unbelievable willingness to label us as "delusional" when it's science who doesn't know. . .please pray with me. . .intensely. . .this week. The world really isn't flat.
Thanks. . .
