I thought it would be smart to create a blog that people could come to and read about my progress and the crazy medical journey that I am currently on.
First of all, I want to thank all of you for your prayers for Marcus and me. We really treasure your kind words, your notes of encouragement and your willingness to help out in whatever ways you can.
Since September 7, I have been vomiting daily. I have been admitted to the hospital twice, and have been to the ER 5 times now. They have run almost every test known to man. On this past Friday, I had a capsule endoscopy. I swallowed a pill camera that took pictures all the way through my stomach and small intestines. Unfortunately the machine malfunctioned, so they have to re-do the test again sometime this week.
We are working on being seen at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Our specialist here has exhausted his treatment ideas, and has suggested we go there.
I got a picc line (a semi-permanent) IV site put in yesterday and am on IV fluids here at home. It's great that I can stay hydrated without being in the hospital.
We trust that God is working in and through this situation so that He might be glorified. We are weary, but trust that God is holding me tightly in His grip so that we might lean on him more and more.
keep those prayers coming...

Hey Brelin,
We totally love you and are praying for you daily. We wish we could get up there but it is tough with the new crew. Your niece loves a ton and talks about you all the time. She is concerned about your health and doesn't like to talk about it. Good idea with the blog...
In His Love,
Olsons
