In less than 24 hours I will be leaving US soil. After being here for almost two years I get to go home, to my beloved land Italy. It will be an interesting journey, with three kids a lay over in London and a 5 hour drive to my hometown. Lord willing everything will go well and we will make to my parents house at 11pm.
As I am excited to go home and see my family and friends and the church family where I got saved and grew up in my faith, I am also sad to have to travel without my special husband. Because of work Josh cannot be with us for the whole time. He will come be with us mid July, a friend gave him his flight miles so that he could come over and spend three weeks with us. We are so grateful for this blessing.
So, please pray for us as we travel across the globe :)
One of the reasons for this particular blog post is to tell about Ruhamah, our youngest daughter. Many of you have been praying for her.
Since December we have been dealing with symptoms like constipation. In April there was a twist of events, she had a rectal prolapse that brought the doctors and us to think that maybe there was something more than just constipation. She was given an exam checking for Cystic Fibrosis and only last Friday we were able to have the results from that.
She was negative to the Cystic Fibrosis test.
We are so blessed and happy by the answer of the test. And at the same time we will have to investigate more to figure out what is not working properly in her intestines. Because we are leaving for Italy we will have to try to do more research while on that side of the planet. So please be praying for us as we hope to get more testing done while there. Being that we are italians we should be able to get medical access with no problems even if some people disagree with this. I guess we will see while there.
Thanks to all of you that have been praying for Ruhamah and please keep praying for her that we can get a better understanding of what is going on and how to deal with it.
Thank you all for your prayers,
Carmela
