Not Yet Better
I wish I could say I am steadily improving and will be completely recovered soon. Unfortunately, I’ve had some setbacks. I have a fever that recurrs and some intense pain. My new doctors have ordered a new battery of tests (I am in fact drinking a barium shake as I write this in preparation for another CT scan this afternoon). My white blood cell count is too high, indicating that there is still infection in my body. My drugs have all been changed again (which precludes me from breastfeeding Asher again and that breaks my heart). Sometimes I feel loads better and can move around the house with relative ease (or even walk outside), other times I can hardly lift my baby. On the plus side, I have not returned to the hospital and hope to avoid the ER completely. I’m still at home with my family, thank god, but in need of a lot of support.
Thanks to all who have been following my health dramas and wishing me well. I am grateful for your support.

It’s good to hear from you! Although I, too, wish you were writing to say you’re completely recovered. ((gentle hug))

Oh, sweetie, I’m sorry all is not yet right. I’m glad you’re at least up to keeping in contact, though. Please please let me know if there is anything I can do for you to make things easier until you get better… I’m definitely sending all my good juju your way! I love you!

Hiya sweet pea. I learned of your situation from Dakini_grl. I’m lighting candles for you and sending you healing energy as often as I think of you, which is often.
I wish for smooth sailing for you.
I hope that I get to see you next weekend, and lay hands on you and kiss your sweet face. Of course I totally get it if that doesn’t work out.
I want you better!
sending you lots of love.

Tate and I are sending you all of the good healing vibes that we can. I will see you on Tuesday and Thursday for sure and I think I can manage Monday in the later part of the afternoon if you need me. Tate wonders if you have any alternative options for controlling the infection, he’s very concerned and sends his love. Call me anytime on my cell.
Love you!!

thank you for those days next week. alternatives haven’t really been considered. I feel this one requires big, allopathic medical guns to knock it out.

love you too.

this is a one-hour-at-a-time kind of thing. Sometimes I feel well, other times, awful. thanks for sending love and energy my way. I am truly blessed to have friends and family like all of you.

Yikes – good luck evicting that which does not belong.
I’ve got some time – if you need a hand, please let me know.
