Samuel’s repeat biopsy is now scheduled.
I procrastinated for weeks calling the GI Doctor’s office — I was fearful — of him being put asleep again, of the results, of the hospital, of Celiac Disease. I know, I know, I know. Finally, yesterday morning, after much encouraging from dear friends, I called to schedule it having the mindset of having a good six weeks to wait.
To prepare.
I was wrong.
The only date that worked is-
Thursday, May 26
It seems so soon. So sudden.
My heart doesn’t seem ready to be that strong again.
But,
God knows that day already.
God knows my anxious heart.
God knows the strength that I will need.
God knows all about Celiac Disease.
God knows my little Samuel.
God knows.
So I rest in that truth.
It is well with my soul.
I love you, my sweet Samuel.
May is Celiac Disease Awareness Month – please consider sharing Samuel’s story so that others can be aware and can fight for Celiac Disease awareness. Thank you!

I hope everything works out. God is by his side and your families! Love the photos, he has an adorable face!
Sam is just so sweet…I can tell. I pray that the biopsy goes well and that you can find the strength you need to go through this again. I think about you and sweet Samuel quite often and pray for you whenever I do!
Oh, my heart is with you on this…may you find favour with God and man.
i’m sorry you have to go through all of this again. and poor sam. he’s so young for this. praying for improved results and a heart at peace for you, mama.
May 26th is my brother’s birthday… so I will be marking that day for your little boy too and will pray for him and for you. God is so good and much greater than any of our struggles. I pray you will find His peace and joy as you trust Him with your precious boy.
God bless!

Hugs to you for all you have to make it through with this celiac disease. I had a little worry about my daughter’s health this week, it’s hopefully nothing…but my brain was working over time worrying, wondering, thinking…I kept remembering you and Samuel’s situation, and really feeling for you. You seem like a strong person, and finding rest in God will carry you through. Take care,
Jen
God knows. Praying that you find peace and comfort in that truth!
Praying for you! That day will come all too soon for my son as well–it will be his 5th or maybe
6th endoscopy with biopsies (how sad is it that I lost count?!).
God will carry Samuel through and He will carry you through….I pray that your mother’s heart will be surrounded with His peace throughout the whole procedure…and from now until then.
Big hugs!
You are quickly becoming what I consider one of my dear bloggy friends – can’t help but to – that’s what happens when I find myself repeatedly praying for someone. So, that said, just thought I’d let you in on that and let you know I’m specifically praying Philippians 4:4-9 over you, Samuel, and your sweet family. Peace, my friend, peace.
Praying for you and sweet little Samuel…and the whole family…that you may rejoicing in good news soon.
i’ll be praying for you and samuel and your family, rachel. God is with you all!
May the Lord give you continued peace as you await the 26th. Being a Mom is not for the “faint of heart” for sure.
A most Happy Mother’s Day to you!
Wishing you all the best. I have also been through an EGD and biopsies with my son and I know that you and your sweet boy will do just fine with the procedure and will handle the results – whatever they may be – in stride and with grace. And I just need to say…what a beautiful little boy. Those eyes!
I’ll be praying for that sweet boy. God absolutely knows and He will equip both you and Samuel 🙂
The Lord knows why and He WILL get you through this!
Know that the Lord is always with you, wrapping His loving arms around you and holding on tight!
Psalms 18:2-6 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. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.
I will definately be praying for Samuel and for you! May you rest in His peace and be secure in His love!
Hey Rachel….just checking that you got my email. Hope you had a fabulous day 🙂

You’re right, Rachel: God knows little Sammy-dudey. 🙂 Praying…
That had to be a hard call to make but I know the Lord will give you (and Samuel) his strength. Samuel is His wonderful creation!
i know how it feels to have a baby put under anesthesia and it IS scary, but God is good and He will supply all your needs. Blessings to you all!
