another new day...

Yesterday was pretty rough... I tried to go on a pretty long walk in the morning, and then later in the afternoon I started vomiting every 15 minutes or so for about 3 hours. It was miserable. My mother-in-law, Carol, came for another sleepover and took care of me in the evening. It's nice to have someone around when Marcus is working!! Thanks Carol!!

The docs told me that I should probably be admitted to the hospital again, but I REALLY don't want to go. They can't really do anything except hook me up to an IV and get more pain meds, but I just can't bring myself to check in. So for now, I'm trying to hold off until I see the new doc tomorrow.

I have a new appointment on Friday(tomorrow) with the doctor that I was supposed to see on nov. 19th. I called and told them my sob story, and they said they'd squeeze me in tomorrow. (this is the doc that has the experimental drug study--propulsid) I'm hoping that there aren't too many hoops to jump through--please pray that the pharmaceutical company agrees to allow me into the study... and that this whole process goes quickly so that I can get onto the meds ASAP.

My mom is coming to visit again this weekend!! I'm really excited to see her!

For all of you church kids that are reading this--I MISS YOU GUYS SO MUCH!! I hope you have lots of fun on the retreat this weekend! :)

I keep praying for enough strength and joy to last through the day. Thank you all for your prayers.
