Wow.  I have been in some kind of fog.  This is the hardest thing I have ever done.  What an answer to prayers though.  Jesus Christ has been there the whole time!  I could not have made it with out him.  Prednisone and I do not mix very well.  I have been on in for a long time, but when the Docs had to up it after the GVHD got in my liver I have not felt the same since….until now.  I started retaining fluid everywhere and that made me really unconfortable not to mention what the prednisone was doing to my brain.  I feel that I have been in a “crazy-daze”.  Anyway, the doctors are lowering my dosing and hopefully getting me off completely.  This takes some pretty close monitoring with labs work and such.  My poor family having to watch me go through this, I know has been tuff on them.

On the bright side,  I got to go home 2 times, although it was probably not a good idea.  I enjoyed seeing all my kids, and neighbors, and a few family, but for the most part we couldn’t get out much.  I even spent the morning in the ER one day. 

I know that I am getting close to coming home more regular.  I am finally starting to feel better and stronger.  I have been trying to walk more and this is helping.  I am eating good and healthy and keeping my blood sugar under control.  The medicine induce diabetes should go away when we stop prednisone. 

I have so much support from my Family.  Don has been amazing and he makes sure I have everything I need.  Mom and Dad of course are always in the wings,  to see what they need to do. 

I love and miss everyone, and can’t wait to join back up with the real world again.

There is a purpose in everything, and it is all part of Gods plan

love karen
