A Lifetime to Love!!!

In May of 2010, Justin and Drina tied the nautical knot aboard Royal Caribbean's Freedom of the Seas. It was such a beautiful day, despite the Florida heat. Drina was such a beautiful bride that it brought tears to our eyes, and we have never seen Justin so handsome. From the first kiss a few years ago, its been love, love, love, ever since. They are truly committed and dedicated to their new and happy life together. We have never seen them so happy as they were that day, well except everyday since!!!

Health Update on Debbie

As a Sarcoidosis patient for the last 5 years,(yes its been that long), I have come to the realization that some days just don't work as well as others. Lots of factors determine how I feel from day to day. Weather fronts, temperature extremes, stress levels are most of the culprits that effect me in a negative way. I have been very blessed during this journey to have many people praying for me and my faith in Jesus Christ has seen me through to date. He IS Jehovah Rapha:The Lord who heals, to me and I bless His name daily!!! (Exodus 15:25)

Some of you know that I have been taking an experimental medication which helps keep my lungs more pliable and enables me to breath, and it makes me feel so much better. This year I had to stop receiving this treatment due to insurance issues. This medication is VERY expensive to the tune of around $1000.00 per week. It is considered "life sustaining" in my specific situation. Due to insurance changes, it is no longer covered. February of this year was my last treatment and I was told that I would start slowing loosing the battle I have been winning if I stopped the treatments. My breathing capacities were all normal in March and I was for the first time in "remission" since I began my fight.

I have been feeling a tad worse by the day, so I went today to see my Pulmonologist and get her advice and my breathing checked. Sometimes I think this is all in my head! Well, its not! Since March of this year my numbers have plummeted from the mid to high 80 range (and a few in the 90's) to now in the mid to low 60 range. In the words of my doctor...NOT GOOD! One test I scored so low in that it didn't even register.

I have the Georgia insurance commissioner and our wonderful Governor working to help resolve this delicate matter. Hopefully with any luck and lots of prayers, we can get something resolved and I can restart my medication soon. If not, I pray that I will be found gracious and glorifying my Lord till the end. I wanted to thank everyone for your continued prayers and support as I strive to stay strong through my journey. I am daily reminded of how precious life and breath are and just how much my heavenly Father loves me.

Welcome to Miller's Madness!!!

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to our family Blog! After having so many people ask, "How are yall?", "How is it going with Debbie's Illness?", or "How is it going with the newlyweds?", I decided it was time for a blog. You'll have to bear with me as this blogging stuff is kinda new for me, but it sure is great to have for those out of town friends and relatives. So if your interested in hearing the latest updates, then add our blog to your favorites list and I will do my best to update as often as I can. No time like the present, this picture was taken at the wedding reception of our son, Justin and his beautiful bride, Drina. Her real name is Alessandrina, but since nobody can say it correctly most of the time, we just call her Drina for short. Those Italian names are tricky for us southern folk! Anyway, their reception was at Red Top Mountain State Park, in Cartersville, Ga. It was a great day for an outdoor get together with friends and family to celebrate their upcoming union. I will have another blog about the wedding with pics!

Welcome again,

Debbie Miller
