Hello Loved Ones!!
Just a quick note to let you all know what is going on in Marlow town and to request that you all put me on your prayer list.
Mom is doing some better, she has fallen quite a lot in the last few weeks but had her in to see Dr. Sabedra & he seems to think that since it only occurs outside it is b/c she is not paying attention to her walking. She is the neighborhood detective you know. Poor little thing is covered in bruises but otherwise seems pretty happy as long as she can get outside.
Kenneth is doing ok as well as Aunt Martha.
Zach is on antibiotics for infected lymph nodes (the ones under his ear and into his jaw on the right side). Thought there for a while he was going to pull out all of his teeth to get relief but it is a good thing he didn't since it wasn't them, huh?
Now as for me, I have been having some pain off & on since last October, first in my arm then it seemed to travel all over into my joints and bones. It isn't a constant steady pain and it can't be described as an ache. Sometimes it is a very sharp pain that last for 5 to 20 mins then goes away, others is constant low pain for a day or two. Finally I decided to see Dr. Sabedra last week about it and he ran some tests, most came back negative but 2 came back positive. He isn't for sure what is going on w/me so he is referring me to a rheumatologist. My RA Latex (rheumatoid arthritis test) came back negative BUT my CR Reactive Protein came back really abnormal, normal is 5 or less, mine is 18.4, also my ANA Titer came back abnormal which shows positive for things like rheumatoid arthritis, Lupus, leukemia. Normal is 7 or less & mine is 15.7. He says that this is out of his area of expertise and so off I go to see a specialist. I am also having problems with fatigue, which he says could be tied into all of this. The specialist that he wants me to see is booked until October so don't know if they will send me to someone else or if I will have to wait for her. In the meantime I am on prescription anti-inflammatories. Have put myself on the prayer list @ church and now need my family to start also. Other than that, things are GREAT!!
My love to you all & let me know how you all are doing.
Love ya,
Lisa
