If you took a survey of everyone in our family and asked which family member was sick most often-or had the weirdest illnesses-it would “hands down” be Keighley. She has mastered this family label magnificiently.

So in true Keighley fashion,  she introduced us to another mystery illness this week when she unexpectedly came down with a case of: Costochondritis which is an inflammation of a rib or the cartilage connecting a rib. This soft-tissue inflammation of the rib cage near the breastbone that can cause pain very similar to cardiac pain. Until Keighley had a doctor’s diagnoisis on Thurday she thought she might be having a heart attack on Wednesday. Or a collapsed lung at the very least.

Our Keighley has taught us once again about one of the stranger illnesses out there. We now get to add Costocondritis to her “mystery diagnosis” list that includes the lesser known hemorrhagic ovarian cyst and fungal cutaneous lesions. Thanks Ky for teaching us about another illness that we’d have never known about if it weren’t for you. {Yes, I’m trying to look at this from a positive angle.}

So to help Keighley get better I thought that I would turn to my “Healing with the Angel Cards” and pick a card for her by proxy. Hopefully she will do what it tells her so that she will heal faster and ward off any future illness.

Keighley’s card came up as: Surrender & Release.

And the meaning of the card is:  “Let go and allow God and the angels to help you. Everything that you release will either be replaced by something better or will be returned to you healed. When you hold on tightly to a part of your life that’s not working, it has not room to heal. Whether you’re unhappy with your love life, finances, career, home or health, this card asks you to let go. If you hang on to these aspects of your life because of fears such as “What if I can’t find someone or something better?”then the situation will only worsen. However, if you’re willing to open your hands and allow the situation to be freed, one of two situations will occur: Either it will be washed away from you and replaced with a better situation, or the situation will heal in a miraculous way. By drawing this card, the angels ask you to try not to control the outcome of your troubling situation. Let go and let God help you!”

Okay-Keighley, your angels have spoken! You’d better do what they say. And in the process, I’m sure that you will start to feel better soon. It’s no fun for the rest of us when you are sick.
