Got “tummy” GROWL….?

If you’re like me, it’s easy to work up a very hardy appetite and have my stomach growling for food!  I am reminded that….

The laborer’s appetite works for him; his hunger drives him on.
Proverbs 16:26

….and after a good meal, my tummy busily churns with the digestive juices doing their amazing job….!!!

Irene drove herself to and from dialysis this morning.  She came home extremely exhausted and took an extended nap.  She weighed in at 106 pounds, fully clothed….losing another pound since November 19th and at this stage every pound counts!!  She’s endeavoring to eat well but is challenged to maintain and put on some additional weight….even with turkey, leftovers and pumpkin pie!!

Also, one of the more interesting physiological reactions in Irene’s body is the very loud gurgling of food (tummy growl….l!!) being digested after each meal.  It can be heard for up to 2 hours after eating!!  Please pray that Irene can gain weight!!

Irene and I met with Jocelyn at her favorite restaurant this evening in honor of Jocelyn’s 27th birthday.  It was a time of celebration….and watching Jocelyn enjoy her Sushi….!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There are a lot of lessons being learned about the body’s physiology and Primary Amyloidosis as we navigate through IRENE”S Journey of FAITH.  The human body is truly an incredible creation.

For us the one thing that continues to grow is our hardy appetite for God.  And this we’re guaranteed in the Word….that our appetite will always be completely satisfied in Him.
