Hello all!

It has been too long once again in the update department. I was doing so well for so long, no news was good news (though looking back I wish I would have recorded it!)

Fast forward to the last week of October, wherein I was desperately hoping to take Jack out for Halloween again this year. After throwing up on the Monday, and having a difficult week health-wise after that, Jack had the privilege of going out with his cousin, aunt, uncle, and nana while I had to stay home. The next week got even worse: I began throwing up the Sunday night, and continued on—up to 10 times a day—for the next week. Matt came home from his shift, and after a night of listening to me and feeling helpless, he took me into the hospital.

There a bunch of tests were run, and nothing conclusive came back. I was given “magic” pills—that stopped the nausea for about a week, and helped me keep food down, until I threw up again. I have since felt nauseated, thrown up once a week since, and twice today alone. My meds are running out and I am getting nervous of a replay of a few weeks ago when I went numb and couldn’t walk from such shock to my nerves.

Prayers for this to be over would be so appreciated. I have been so far out of commission it looks like I may miss my birthday date with Matt, and I am weary. I am weary, angry, sad, and scared; that something is really wrong just when things were starting to go right. I can’t take much more of this.

Next week we go down to see our doctor to get some bigger tests done, and sometime after Christmas we will find out how far we have come in this battle against Lyme and it’s co-infections.  Until then, we pray, and thank you for yours.

Blessings and love,


Kate

The Lord watches over you—
    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
  the sun will not harm you by day,

    nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm—
    he will watch over your life;
  the Lord will watch over your coming and going

    both now and forevermore.
Psalm 121:5-8
