Its been 4 months now, since I been having a Early Medical Exam at St. Lukes. I was excited in first place before i go at Slec and hoping that i can have my Medical result as early i was expected and wait my Interview time at USEM. But all the feelings was turned into Blue when they tell me that i will doing a sputum test and wait 2 months for culture result. Mixed emotions, Depress, disappointed, and Lonely all the expectation those time was really cant imagine and express.
After 6 weeks to wait they called me to go back at Slec and to get my result. Expected so much the result was good and there is no trouble in my health but then all the depression, disappointed and lonelyI felt was more worst when the Doctor confirm me that i was have a inactive TB and need to have a Medication it takes 6 months.....Lesson: Don`t too much expect too much it will make you disappointment and depress more. To make you unhappy and hard to accept the Reality. Do i hear it good when Doctor said 6 months of Treatment? You how long it was and to be waited again? 6 months of treatment and to be wait to be with my Husband again.
My husband was expected too that I dont have any problem with my Health. But those time the fate was not us, Im not lucky like others those time. Now, How do I tell my husband that I am going to have a 6 months medication? Where to I start to tell him that I was infected and have a TB that needs to have a 6 months Medication? Worried! Scared! I was so scared more to tell him co`z i was thought there was changes his feelings to me. ( Lesson: Trust you Husband/Fiancee/Fiance with all your Heart and Soul.)
But still I decided to call Him and tell him all what is going on my Medical result, unexpectedly in the middle of conversation tears was flow in my eyes when I explaining him whats going on but my Husband stay clam, listen, understand my feelings, cheer me up those time even I was know his feeling that he was affected too for my Medical result. Lesson: Don`t doubt his Love to you, He loves you much more than what you think think of.. My husband, My Love and My Best friend showed me how what Love more means and ear to listened my depression. I am Lucky have a husband and friend like him.
But, even i realized I am lucky. I still have made a DABDA. Denial= that i dont have a TB. Even I was start already my Medication at St. Luke I still deny that i dont have infected. Angry= to the people at SLEC and God why Me. Every time i go there at St. Luke I was felt so much bad to them co`z I will gonna wait 6 months, expensive to go there everyday just to take a Medicines. Yes, they not allowed you to bring your Medicines you always go there everyday at St. Lukes to take your Medicines and Yes, I was spent a lots of money for my Transportation, most of all you can always tired and inhale the polluted air in the street.Bargaining= my anger was passed and I ask forgiveness to God what all I said to him. Depression= for what happened me. I still have a depression co`z takes so long to me to be with my husband. Acceptance= I calm and wait the God`s will now and believe he plan us the best time to Me and my Husband one day to be reunited again. And 6 months is good for the lifetime Happiness together with my Husband in the best time to reunite again. ( Lesson: Believe him (Jesus) whatever happened your life co`z He was really knows what best you are in this time. He has something planned to you and He was prepared you the lifetime Happiness.)
And Now, Yes Now! I am almost 3 months of treatment and try to move on now with Happiness and Love with husband, most specially faith in God. And I was taken as of now a short course while I having Medication May 2, 2008 will be my first X-ray test and I already lift up to God all what happened co`z he was know what the best to me this time. By my help, support to my Husband and my loving family. ( Don`t give up.)

Make sure to comply with your medicines and time will run fast. Your story touched me.

Good luck and you'll be be in our prayers.
3 months down and 3 months left to go!!! You are doing good rachel 
i have a daily dose of e-devotional and I guess it seems really appropriate for your situation and for all who are waiting and hoping for something. Let me share this devotional by Leslie Snyder, who happens to be one of my favorite Christian author.
Ecclesiastes 3: 11 He has made everything beautiful in its time.
I admire you more making your waiting time more valuable by taking a short course. Maybe that is what God intended, for you to be more prepared for the transition of life in the US by giving you a chance to enhance your knowledge and in God's perfect time you will be more ready to be with your husband.
Stay strong, continue to make your remaining days in the Philippines valuable and continue holding on to God in everything and for everything.
God be your constant refuge and strength.

April Showers Bring May Flowers
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.—Ecclesiastes 3: 1
If April showers bring May flowers, what do May flowers bring?
Pilgrims!
This favorite kid’s joke has been around a long time. It never changes. It’s always corny but year after year around springtime, this joke surfaces and kids’ faces light up every time they tell it to someone. Knock-knock jokes are the same way. Here’s my favorite.
Knock-knock?
Who’s there?
Panther.
Panther who?
You’re panther down, better pull them up!
I laugh every time I hear this joke, and laugh through it every time I tell it. Again, like the Pilgrim joke, the punch line never changes. It’s 100% predictable, but it makes me laugh every time. Spring is also a lot like a good knock-knock joke. You know what to expect every year, but like an anticipated punch line, it brings great joy whenever you experience it.
Whether it’s the return of the songbirds, the presence of robins in your yard, the burst of color from tulips, daffodils, and other flowers that have slept through the winter or the gentle rustling of the new leaves on the trees, spring is a glorious time of new life and new hope It brings with it an unexplainable joy. The writer of Ecclesiastes recognized the timing and seasons of life. He said there is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven.
Aren’t you thankful that spring returns every year? How dull, hopeless, and dreary life would become if not for the promise of the return of spring each March. A life without spring reminds me of the fantasy city of Narnia in C.S. Lewis’s The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The Witch has taken over the land of Narnia and has turned the land into perpetual winter. Life is frozen in time and the promise of new life is gone. Fortunately for us, we have the hope of new life and each spring we get a glimpse of just how beautiful that new life is.
Today, turn off the TV, grab your family, and get outside to take a walk or bike ride, or play in the park. Notice the signs of new life all around you. ‘Tis the season!

I'm sorry to hear that.... but if it's latent TB you are not contagious at all.. u just have to undergo treatment and i guess you'll be ok... nurses(i suppose you're a nurse cuz you know DABDA 
) are prone to be infected with that disease cuz we are exposed to our patient everyday with only BCG as protection... My friend have the same experience.. she was very upset.. she's supposed to be in New Zealand April 24th to work there as a nurse.. But St. Luke found out that she has latent TB.. she's under treatment now..
Don't worry too much because you have a very loving husband,. who's willing to support you and who is there for you in sickness and in health....
Keep on praying and stay pretty..
God bless you and my prayers are with you...

Rachel, you are an inspiration to us. You areone courageous woman, and I'm happy to note that you can still say that God is good all the time. It's not easy what you're going through (they even require you to go to St. Luke's for the daily meds? Grabe!), and I pray for God's grace, and strength as you continue with he medication. God is still faithful because He has given you a very loving and supportive husband, who will be with you to love you, support you, carry you, no matter what happens.
"Be strong and take courage. Do not fear or be dismayed. For the Lord will go before you, and His light will show the way . . . For the One who lives within you, will be strong in you today. . ."
I pray that this experience will allow you to know God even more, and to experience His love and faithfulness and His saving grace through Christ Jesus.

Its been 4 months now, since I been having a Early Medical Exam at St. Lukes. I was excited in first place before i go at Slec and hoping that i can have my Medical result as early i was expected and wait my Interview time at USEM. But all the feelings was turned into Blue when they tell me that i will doing a sputum test and wait 2 months for culture result. Mixed emotions, Depress, disappointed, and Lonely all the expectation those time was really cant imagine and express.
After 6 weeks to wait they called me to go back at Slec and to get my result. Expected so much the result was good and there is no trouble in my health but then all the depression, disappointed and lonelyI felt was more worst when the Doctor confirm me that i was have a inactive TB and need to have a Medication it takes 6 months.....Lesson: Don`t too much expect too much it will make you disappointment and depress more. To make you unhappy and hard to accept the Reality. Do i hear it good when Doctor said 6 months of Treatment? You how long it was and to be waited again? 6 months of treatment and to be wait to be with my Husband again.
My husband was expected too that I dont have any problem with my Health. But those time the fate was not us, Im not lucky like others those time. Now, How do I tell my husband that I am going to have a 6 months medication? Where to I start to tell him that I was infected and have a TB that needs to have a 6 months Medication? Worried! Scared! I was so scared more to tell him co`z i was thought there was changes his feelings to me. ( Lesson: Trust you Husband/Fiancee/Fiance with all your Heart and Soul.)
But still I decided to call Him and tell him all what is going on my Medical result, unexpectedly in the middle of conversation tears was flow in my eyes when I explaining him whats going on but my Husband stay clam, listen, understand my feelings, cheer me up those time even I was know his feeling that he was affected too for my Medical result. Lesson: Don`t doubt his Love to you, He loves you much more than what you think think of.. My husband, My Love and My Best friend showed me how what Love more means and ear to listened my depression. I am Lucky have a husband and friend like him.
But, even i realized I am lucky. I still have made a DABDA. Denial= that i dont have a TB. Even I was start already my Medication at St. Luke I still deny that i dont have infected. Angry= to the people at SLEC and God why Me. Every time i go there at St. Luke I was felt so much bad to them co`z I will gonna wait 6 months, expensive to go there everyday just to take a Medicines. Yes, they not allowed you to bring your Medicines you always go there everyday at St. Lukes to take your Medicines and Yes, I was spent a lots of money for my Transportation, most of all you can always tired and inhale the polluted air in the street.Bargaining= my anger was passed and I ask forgiveness to God what all I said to him. Depression= for what happened me. I still have a depression co`z takes so long to me to be with my husband. Acceptance= I calm and wait the God`s will now and believe he plan us the best time to Me and my Husband one day to be reunited again. And 6 months is good for the lifetime Happiness together with my Husband in the best time to reunite again. ( Lesson: Believe him (Jesus) whatever happened your life co`z He was really knows what best you are in this time. He has something planned to you and He was prepared you the lifetime Happiness.)
And Now, Yes Now! I am almost 3 months of treatment and try to move on now with Happiness and Love with husband, most specially faith in God. And I was taken as of now a short course while I having Medication May 2, 2008 will be my first X-ray test and I already lift up to God all what happened co`z he was know what the best to me this time. By my help, support to my Husband and my loving family. ( Don`t give up.)

I have not seen you on VJ for a long time Rachel. It is good to hear you realized that you are still very lucky. You have completed the two month testing and half of the 6 month medication. I hope to see you and Jim reunited forever in the near future.

hi rachel
i came across with your post and i find it interesting to read. I didnt realized your story was really sad. But dont worry about it. It may take time for you to be with your husband but the bottom line in this trial of your relationship is to make you both stronger to face all the bumps ahead. Sometimes we did not get what we wanted but after all we realized that there are reasons behind it..God knows what is best for us and when is the right time for us. Dont lost hope. Always have faith in God and spend the rest of your time with your family while you are still here. Love your husband more for his long patience and understanding...God Bless you..we will pray for your fast recovery..

im touched with your story. glad you are strong. God is good. i am a little worried of having a latent TB result too. I am a nursign student and is always exposed to the hospital and TB patients while on duty. i am not manifesting any signs of TB but i heard that once you are exposed you might have latent TB. oh my.. i just wish everything would turn out well. i just pray. 
Thanks for sharing, it's an inspiration to us and we can learn lessons a lot too. God bless and cheer up sis!!
Time flies so fast so soon you will be with your hubby again yipeeeee
