one more week to mayo!

The past couple of weeks have been fairly rough. I struggled with a virus and fever for 7 days, and then began coughing up bloody mucus. That's not good. So the docs put me on anti-biotics, and I seem to be doing a bit better.

My vomiting continues multiple times per day(any time I eat or drink anything). I had to go off my pain meds on the 7th for my appt at Mayo, and since then my pain has been pretty ridiculous. I'm trying to be tough, and some days are better than others. Yesterday, for example, was terrible, but today has been a little better.

Marcus and I leave for Mayo next Monday. We get to visit our friends, Andy & Heather for a couple of days, and then my first appointment is on Thursday, Feb. 21. Lots of people ask what will happen while we're there. We really have no idea what to expect. We are pretty sure that they'll run a bunch of tests, and then based on their findings develop a short and long term treatment plan for me.

I think that's all I have to report.

Dear Brelin~
I don't think we have ever properly met at church but I know who you are! I have been following your blog and praying for you every night. I truly hope that the Mayo Clinic will be able to help you and quickly and I will continue to pray for you and them as well. You have incredible faith and strength. You are an inspiration to all of us.
Hang in there!
