GOOD NEWS

At the appointment with Jenny Fox yesterday we were thrilled to have her examine Pattie's rash and declare it not to be shingles after all! She said " we will watch it closely, but that does NOT seem to be what I know to be shingles". Further "you can stop taking the pills and that will take care of the nausea and headache side effects too". The very best part is that Pattie can resume eating peanut butter! A hemoglobin shot was given to boost the levels and the rest of the day was reasonably good. Today started quite well, with the exception of some extra tiredness... which will likely become a familiar companion as we take next steps along this familiar, unwelcome detour. What is hoped to be the final lung fluid tap is scheduled for next Wednesday. Thank you for walking this road with us. It is comforting and very reassuring to know that we do not walk alone.

  2. Pattie, just wanted you to know that I got an email from CSue and she is praying for you too- and sends her love. She is so sorry for this 'beast' to be in your life, but she will continue to pray for healing and peace for you.

    I too continue to pray and you know that you are surrounded with prayer and love. Love to both of you, your friend Karen
