Busy Busy Busy
What a busy month this has been, several of us have had the sinus stuff and Tyler has had a double ear infection,his 2ND round of it. We traveled to see Casey's 96 year old grandmother and all 3 of my children, as well as my daughter in-law Rebekah, Ryan, Brandon and Tyler (my 3 grandsons) as you can see in the picture I posted earlier last week. Here at home we are trying to clear out some things and also do some much needed repairs on our kitchen counter which will hopefully start soon. Please pray for us all as we have much to do and many decisions to make on what we want and need to do as far as the house goes. Casey is really doing great he can walk without his cane if he's walking short distances. I am also doing well with my Fibromyaliga I am still taking the mangostein juice but am only taking 1 ounce 3 times a day along with a pill from Swansons Vitamins that I was told about that is for fibromyalgia and it has been working really well. Lord willing I will be able to just take the pills since they are only $8.00 a month in stead of $ 232.00 a month for the Mangostein Juice. I want to do what the Lord would have me do and have been praying that the Lord would show me which direction to go. I better go Tyler has learned to roll from his back to his stomach and is in his bassenet and doesn't have much room to turn over, well he just figured it out and is trying to pull up on the side NO KIDDING he is on his side and is holding on to the side of the bassenet and trying to pull his head and chest up, he's 4 months today and is doing new things every day his doctor was suprised when he rolled from his back to his stomach this morning, she said that he shouldn't be doing that until he's 5 months, and he is also cutting teeth. Boy are going to have our hands full :))

Casey's Recovery
Casey ended up having his surgery November 6Th instead of October 23rd. The surgery was suppose to be 6-8 hours long but the Lord was pleased to let it be done in 3 1/2 hours without any complications. Casey was doing so well that he didn't qualify to go to the therapy hospital and is doing therapy at home and a home health nurse comes out each day to clean his wound. He is doing great this time PRAISE the Lord!!! he is doing more for himself this time than he did the first two times. Please continue to keep him in your prayers as he comes to mind.

Print My Story
The following verse is taped to Ivy’s hospital room window and begins her story, 'The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.' Psalm 18:2 As you read on, don't be sad for Ivy, rejoice with her in the strength of her faith.Ivy's story began in early March with what she thought was her usual case of allergies as the pollens began to get bad. She picked up a cough and her back was bothering her as well. On March 26, she saw her doctor for some prescription refills. At that time, she discovered her annual exam was a year past due. She made an appointment for March 31, to get that taken care of. On the 31, the doctor commented that her cough did not seem to be any better. Ivy felt it was worse and that she was beginning to get short of breath and hurt in her chest when she coughed. The doctor ordered a chest x-ray to check for pneumonia. They scheduled the x-ray, but Ivy put it off until she felt a worse. The x-ray was done on April 3. The x-ray showed something suspicious and a CT scan was done the same day. The call came at 4:30 that afternoon. A large mass on her sternum was discovered with a good chance that it could be cancer. An appointment with an oncologist was scheduled for the next day.April 4, Ivy and Tim sat in the oncologist office with her brother, Jason, and two of her 'sisters', Chris and Jennifer. The doctor showed us on the CT scan the fluid that had built up around Ivy's lungs and heart and explained that the mass was pushing on her heart. He explained that there was a very good chance this would be cancer and that he was recommending that she go directly into the hospital for further tests.We cried and then we held each other and prayed. Through God's mercy we pulled it together and checked into NE Methodist Hospital. On April 5, they drained 40 oz. of fluid from around Ivy's lungs and heart, which was sent off to pathology for testing. The mass was approx. 4.3 in. x 3.1 in. in size pushing on her main heart valve as well as her right artery and pulmonary veins. Over the next couple of days other tests were run. Ivy's pain level was increasing and pain meds were prescribed. There was a lot of waiting and praying happening in the room throughout the weekend.April 7, brought the news that the test on the fluid came back inconclusive. There were bacteria of some type present, but its source was not known. On April 8, a needle biopsy was performed on the mass. X-rays, blood work and other tests continued. April 10, brought the news that we had all feared, Mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell Lymphoma. This is a fairly rare form of cancer that occurs in women ages 35-50. All we have been told and read so far indicates that it responds well to chemo. This is a fast growing cancer, but the good news is that because of this it should respond quicker to the treatments. They expect a 75-80% reduction in size after the first treatment. They are recommending chemo and radiation, which will take about 9 months total to complete.April 11 brought more tests, some quite painful, but our Ivy shines on. She recites her verse (Psalm 18:2) repeatedly anytime things become overwhelming.Tim and Ivy have struggled the last couple of days in deciding whether to remain at NE Methodist and continue treatment with her current doctors or to look at transferring to MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston. Ivy's treatment here at NE has been excellent. The nurses are so gentle and caring and the doctors have been very good as well. We have all been praying for guidance on where this treatment should take place. Please continue to pray for guidance on this.Dawn and Michael Coldewey, friends that have been fighting this battle since last October, shared with us the process they went through and talked about the treatment and care Michael received at MD Anderson. It was such a blessing to be able to see a tiny piece of how God has been working in this situation. Ivy has been close to Dawn throughout their battle and now here we are watching the tables turn. What a comfort it was for all of us to hear the words of encouragement that Dawn and Michael were able to share. Tim and Ivy feel at peace now with their decision to transfer to Houston.As I close this story that has just begun, I ask for continued prayers for her and her family; for guidance for them as they are faced with huge decisions daily; for strength and rest for Ivy's body as she prepares to fight this battle, but also for Tim as he becomes the major caregiver to Ivy, Kimberly and Wil; for God's angels to surround Ivy every minute of every day, shielding her from pain, from Satan's doubts and fears, and for a peace that passes all understanding. We also ask that you continue to remember Michael and Dawn and their beautiful girls as they continue in their battle.Ivy sends her love and thanks to each and everyone one of you that have called, emailed, visited and most of all prayed. These are the things that are helping to carry her through. We will do our best to update this site on a daily basis. I close with Matthew 21:22, 'And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.'

The Mangosteen Fruit
The Pericarp, or rind, of the Mangosteen fruit contains more Xanthones than any other source on earth; a defense against Free Radicals.
Free Radicals are atoms with an unpaired number of electrons and these highly reactive radicals can start a chain reaction. When they react with cellular DNA these cells may not function properly or die.
Diseases are directly linked to free radical build up, including: Cancer, Heart Disease, Stroke, Lung Disease, Diabetes, Arthritis, etc. To prevent free radical damage, the body needs a defense system of preventative antioxidants, combined with a properly functioning immune system.
Antioxidant properties (Xanthones) in the Mangosteen function as a balance for free radicals in the body and are proven to provide natural relief via direct inhibition of COX-2 enzymes.
The Orac (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) Test has shown that an ounce of Mangosteen Juice has 20-30 times the ability to absorb free radicals than one ounce of most fruits and vegetables.

Mangosteen Juice from Xango ONLY
Some have ask if the Mangosteen Juice that I have been talking about is from Xango
YES it is (I use no other brand of Mangosteen Juice but the Mangosteen Juice from Xango).
Xango uses the whole fruit and they have the patent on this process. No other product other than Xango has the whole fruit. So if you are using any other brand you will not get the true benefits from it that the Xango brand gives, your wasting your money and you won't get the results that the Xango Mangosteen Juice offers.

Hope this answers some of your questions about whether or not the Mangosteen tablets will be as much a benefit as the Juice it self. I have a nurse that we are friends with that has researched the mangosteen juice and talks to the doctors several times a week to stay connected on all of the science to do with the mangosteen juice.
If you want more information on the 202 reasons to use the mangosteen juice from Xango please e-mail me at: healthychoices2@yahoo.com below is an e-mail from Lorrie our nurse friend.
Absolutely, you are not able to get the benefit from the Peri carp of the fruit where all of the good xantones are located. you won't get the results that you are looking for in the tablets. The Caplets are basically a waste of your money as you will not be able to get the 202 reasons to use the juice. The Xantones are located in the pericarp or rind of the fruit. Hope this helps.

The Lord Is Good
Hello Friends and Family
It's been a while since I last posted any thing.
Just an update on how I'm doing heath wise. The Lord has blessed me with strength this past month, I am still using the Mangosteen Juice and it has been helping me tremendously.
Since starting on the Mangosteen Juice February 14, 2008 I have NOT been in ANY PAIN!!
PRAISE THE LORD!!!
I have been able to get off all of my prescription drugs except my asthma pill and even been able to get off my seizure medicine. I have not had any seizures or the symptoms. The Lord is so gracious and has given me strength to where for the first time in 2 years I was able to go to ALL of the meetings during our Spring Conference and not have any pain or weakness and I have been able to help with preparing and serving the food. WHAT A BLESSING this has been my desire to get to the point where I can be of more help at Church and the Lord has Blessed me in this area.
I Thank My God daily for His love and for giving me the strength to be able to sit and hear His word being put forth without having to move around so much or get up and walk out because of pain. If you or a loved one suffers from any debilitating health problems and you would like to learn more about the Mangosteen Juice and it's health benefits, you can go to my website and learn more about it's health benefits. www.thewonderfulfruit.com or e-mail me at healthychoices2@yahoo.com

Prayer Request/ Hospital stay
Hello everyone
It's been a while since my last post.
I am asking for prayer, I will be going into the Hospital tomorrow (Tuesday March 4-7), for a seizure study and they will make me have seizures to see what kind I have, please pray that I will have the 4-6 seizures that they are needing right away or I will have to stay longer. I have to have people there with me around the clock so please also pray for those that will be giving their time to help. I have had to get off a of my medicines and suppliments and am having the pain and weakness again since I'm off my Mangosteen Juice.
I have been doing really well on the Mangosteen Juice. It has taken away my pain and inflammation that I have been suffering with now for 6 years. It has given me back my energy and strength. I thank the Lord for allowing me to find out about this Juice. I have been able to keep up my house and go with my daughter Erin a couple of Saturdays ago to look at wedding dresses and then went to the mall to look at shoes. I haven't been able to do that in a LONG time and I wasn't in any pain, I then got home at 6:30pm and cooked for our guest. I was able to get off all of my pain medicines Feb 14th and have not gotten back on them. I have been able to go to lunch with a couple of friends and enjoy my time without being in pain PRAISE THE LORD!!!!
