The Latest

Well, its been a little over a week since we got back from Fresno. I got myself a super-duper cold as soon as we stepped foot into our home and am now finishing up my last dose of antibiotics. It was a good one.

The upside has been I love my new medicine. I can't recall ever feeling like that about a pill whether natural or synthetic so this is progress for me. Usually we do a small "don't be scared" dance before I throw it down and then sit around waiting for a bomb to drop. But, so far so good. I am always looking at the clock to see when I can take my next dose. I have to say that I haven't been on it for very long but everyone has noticed an increase in my stamina. I've been making several trips down stairs a day and today I was able to go with Whitney to her doctor's appointment. That's the first time I've been able to do that in over a year. I can't tell you how thankful I was to be standing with my child in a pediatric office...which doesn't sound quite right when I put it like that. I guess it just felt good to be doing "MOM" stuff again.

So, I'm trying to stop holding my breath and just trust the process that it isn't a fluke, it isn't going to go away, its okay to be excited...well a tiny bit excited. I'm hoping that by the end of May I will feel well enough to fly down to my next appointment rather than doing the drive again. What a nice thought :-). My bigger prayer is that I feel well enough to be at Whitney's 8th grade graduation in June.

That's the latest from Casa de Gore!!! More to come...
