Tuesday, April 22nd

Hello!

I have one more hour of infusion, and I will be done for the day. The IV is in my right arm so I am typing with my left hand. I can barely type with two good hands so this should be interesting....

Some of my blood work came back today, and I found out I have Epstein Bar. It is a virus that can also cause fatigue as well as other symptoms. The IV infusions I am taking should help treat this as well as the lyme.
We are still awaiting the results of many more test. I am looking forward to getting it all back and being able to see the full picture.

Raegan and I are having a great time with Becki (my friend who flew out to help me with Raegan)! She has been such an incredible help to me! She is a teacher and loves preschoolers. She and Raegan bonded very quickly,and they are having a wonderful time! She leaves to go back to her husband and two beautiful girls in the morning. Raegan & I are truly going to miss her!

Raegan will be at a daycare center, for the next three days, while I am in treatment. She is very excited to go play with "friends." I think the social interaction will be very good for her. Then, my mom, "Grammy" will be here for the next two weeks. We are excited to see her, and grateful she can come and help me.

I had a great night sleep last night! I almost forgot what it was like to sleep more than a few hours at a time. They started me on a new sleeping aid that seems to agree with me!!! Hopefully, the sleep will continue.

My left hand is getting tired....

Blessings to you!

Ronda,
You have been on my mind so much today! I'm so glad to know how you are and glad that I can keep up with you through your blog! Great idea!! I wanted you to know that Presley came home today and told me that Seth's mommy was sick (Seth told him). He was very worried about him and drew him a picture - he'll give it to him tomorrow! Please know that Seth has some great friends at school and he is well taken care of. Take care of yourself and try to get some sleep!! You are truly an inspiration!!
God bless you!!

Ronda,
We don't now each other, I am a friend of Amy Little's and she has forwarded your blog & some drives going on around Bristow for your family. Your journey has been one of strength, courage, and hope and I pray you will get through this 4/5week time period with as much ease as possible. I wish there was more I could do for your or your family, but you are in my thoughts.
Sincerely, Jane Leckert (I live in Saybrooke)

PS- I'll make sure to take the whole family to foster's on the 29th, and I've spread the flyer out to all my friends & family.

Ronda!! Welcome to the blogging world! How easy was that? I ran into Chris just now and he told me that you created one so I just ran in and read all your posts. Is there some sort of fund raiser/drive for you and your family that I should know about?? Sounds like you've really been through a rough week but looks like you now have some answers. I'll keep praying for you and will post your blog onto mine. Please keep in touch and let me know if there is anything I can do for your family...miss you my friend.
