Karen's Day at Shands

Karen wanted a place for family and friends to be able to see how she is doing each day at Shands. This is how she is making that happen.

week with jake & Dyl

June28

Hi everyone, 

We just had a really nice visit with my 2 younger boys.  They came a stayed with us in the camper for a bout a week (6 of us ).  Most of the time we just hung out, tried to stay cool and just be together.  That was really good for me.  I can’t wait to see the big kids, and my sisters are coming here soon after the 4th! 

I am having a REALLY good  day today.  My rash that I have had for months appears to be clearing up and clearing out, and hopefully not coming back.  I actually feel kind of strong for a change and my thinking is clearer!  Praise God!  Pray for more days like this.  I would have liked to have felt more like this when the kids were here.  We might could have done a little more…

Saturday was 50 days.  I of course have a 100 or so till they let me go.  The Goal is to only have to come to clinic 1 time per week and I seem  to have to be here 3 to 6 day a week.  But,  if I can continue feeling good and my labs and meds don’t need to many changes…now thats is something to look forward to.

I love you guys and will try to catch up with everyone soon!

Karen

    Yay! An update! I’m so glad you were able to spend time with Jake and Dylan. I wish you’d have felt better, too, while they were there.

    I love coming here and reading the good news. God truly does answer prayer! Consider yourself hugged and when you get home I’ll hug you in person . . . with interest! I love you!

    We really had a good time with the boy’s visit. Dylan went fishing with Grandpa and Don. He caught a nice bass. Jacob went to the gym and worked out several days with his Grandpa. The boys went to the movies, the Mall and a real interesting Museum while they were here. Six in the camper is a little crowded; but we managed beautifully. It was good to be together and I think healing for Karen. We are all looking forward to all the sisters and their families together. Keep up the prayer brigade. We are strong and making progress.
