Goodbye to July...

It seems I spoke too soon when I said I was ready for whatever July had in store for me. I could not have been more wrong. It has been a difficult month, to say the least...

After an ambulance ride,

2 blood transfusions,

3 emergency room visits,

5 different doctors,

5 nights and 7 days in the hospital, 

10 pounds lost, 

14 days of IV treatments at home every 6 hours,

At least 15 remedies attempted to relieve the rash all over my body as a result of allergic reactions to the medications,

and a 32nd birthday spent in bed, 

July fared worse than we could have ever imagined.

Forgive me for not being here and posting quite as regularly as I had hoped and promised. It has been a difficult month, and now, we are focusing on healing... both physically and emotionally.
