What a week! I said I had HEAPS of appointments and I did. In fact I felt like I couldn't cope at certain times. I keep reminding you that the unspoken prayer request I have given, please keep on praying because it is not over yet. Thank you for your prayers...so much is going on right now.
Besides all that....I worked yesterday again. I worked in Orthopaedics and in radiation therapy...not my favourite but I still, I had a good day...unfortunately my anxeity caused me to have a very late night and today I don't feel well at all...hopefully tonight will be a better sleep and more rest.
Isaac had a paediatric appointment this week with his doctor - follow up from being premie. He did so well. He is growing well and as fit as a fiddle. They tell me he is really smart and I need not worry about his development in that area...which is always a concern when a baby is born so early....but Isaac did really well and I am pleased.
Well, please keep praying for me...I am under a lot of pressure right now so I need all the prayer I can get.
Have a good week.
Love Charisse

Hello Everyone,
First of all.....please keep praying for my unspoken request....I am having trouble talking about this request and apologise for seeming to be a bit distant.
Despite the challenge that is facing me right now...I had a GREAT day! My IVIG infusion reaction is over and i have felt much better.
I went to work today for the first time in a long while. The hospital was not calling in casual nurses because of an infection control reason..too hard to explain...but now they are calling us in again and I worked a 7 1/2 hour shift in Women's Health outpatients today. I worked with mothers and their babies. To anyone who doesn't know...I am a trained registered nurse and very proud to be one. I find being a nurse one of the most rewarding things out there in the world...and being someone who is always a patient you are able to grow and learn to be sensitive to the patients that I look after at work.
This week coming up will be a challenging one. I have an appointment almost every day! So please pray for me...I had no appointments this past week - Praise the Lord!
Well,unfortunately I woke with a sty in my left eye this morning and my eye is half closed and swollen and I can't see clearly out of it. I have a doctor's appointment to check it out tomorrow...but it is very painful.....otherwise..besides that unspoken thing...I am enjoying my son, Isaac and being with my husband, Alan...I have enjoyed attending prayer meetings this week with my church and have been greatly encouraged by the presence and power for the Lord Jesus Christ.
When I feel ready to share completely openly with everyone I will.
So until next time.
Have a great weekend.
Love Charisse

What a rough weekend I have had. The IVIG really knocked me around this weekend and I have felt unwell all week. I just got up at about 9.30am this morning and I am hoping and testing my body, thinking may be, that I feel a little better and my reaction is starting to calm down a bit.
Thank you everyone for honouring my request and praying for that unspoken prayer request. Please keep praying. I just need some time before I share about all of that.
But the weeks have been crazy and I am tired from all the commotion.
Yet, I have attended prayer meetings and enjoyed being in the presence of Jesus while singing, praying and just listening.....Jesus is amazing and no matter what you are going through..if you just sit and wait in His presence you can feel the strength and peace that He gives you amongst the craziness.
I still stand by Psalm 91 in the Bible. Jesus is with me in the good and in the bad. There are many promises in this verse that I will and am standing by. If you have the time, take out your Bible and read it. It is such an uplifting and comforting passage. I wrote out the whole thing in one of my past journals.
Anyway, I am going to go and start the day. Have a shower and work out what Isaac, my mum and I are going to do today.
Love you all,
Charisse

Hello All,
please continue to keep me in your prayers. I have a very important test done tomorrow....and I need the Lord to do a work so please keep me in your prayers.
On top of that I have my IVIG infusion tomorrow. And I never look forward to that because I always get a reaction and it lasts for a week...and I feel just awful...so if you can also pray that this will go well...it would be much appreciated.
We actually have a lot of pressure going on here at the moment with some circumstances....and please ask that you would continue to pray for that unspoken prayer request.
Thank you and love you all,
Charisse
