Working with new medicines

Today we saw the doctor again. She is actually the psychiatrist who has been helping us with the anxiety portion of Beth's symptoms. Earlier in the week she prescribed Zoloft for Beth. This will give some help to Beth on a more long term basis than the Xanax is doing. We went into her office this morning to take the first pill. She was gracious to meet with us and walk us through this new endeavor for Beth which makes her anxious. Needless to say, since leaving the doctor's office, it has been a rough day for us. It seems to have worked up Beth's GI tract a little bit, which we knew would be one of the side effects. The doctor did indicate that these symptoms would work their way out, but it may take a couple days to a week or so. So, we still pray that God would give us peace during this time. It feels as though we are back to the start again, which is frustrating. Please pray for patience and the stamina to battle this. Please pray also for us to have the ability to look forward in hope to that one day when we will meet our Maker and we will no longer have any pain or sorrow, our bodies will be glorified and we will live eternally with the Father in peace. May we begin to have a foretaste of the peace to come. Blessings to you on this day. Thank you so much.
