Hi All,
well my cold ended up becoming a chest infection with many hot sweats, fainting spells and everything else. I started on antibiotics last night after seeing my GP....and then went to the center for my IVIG infusion today and the specialist wanted to give me some IV antibiotics...so I had that as well. They changed my infusion from Intagam P to Oxagam...different product...so let's pray that this change reduces those reactions I have been having. I feel good tonight so far....but we have a week to see if I still have a reaction this time.
Isaac is feeling better. He still has a bit of a barking cough but that will dissapate throughout the next 5 days I am told...unless he starts up with fevers and so on...he should be ok. He started back at kindy yesterday. The last day of the kindy week but he enjoyed it and is back to normal energy levels again.
Wednesday was my sickest day. I was supposed to attend a funeral of a friend with Alan and I ended up not being able to dry or dress myself after the shower/bath and was nauseated and all after my night on Tuesday of coughing constantly until about 1.30am in the morning. So a friend who was babsitting Isaac for me on Wed while Alan and I went to the funeral also had me at her house in one of their beds. I told Alan to go to the funeral because it was important. My friend looked after Isaac while I was sick and I slept in the bed for the majority of the time I was there. It was so nice that she helped us out...such a strange thing to ask a friend to watch both the mother and the child....hehe....Isaac loves playing with her child as well! They are really good friends at kindy and live very close to us.
Today at infusion they got the IV in first time...YAY!!!! I always feel very anxious about that and the infusion ran smoothly with hardly any beeps. I felt a bit flushed at times but otherwise it was ok.
Now I am at home just waiting for Alan and Isaac to get home. There are no kindy sessions on Friday so while I am at the hospital and Alan is at work...Isaac goes to mum's house and spends the day with them. Alan's mum and I have "our day" at the hospital...we have scones and stuff...it has become a tradition.
Well I am gonna sign off. Thanks to all of those who have been praying for me and supporting me and I will update again soon.
Love Charisse

hope you feel better soon CHarisse. I haven't heard from you in a while.
I just finished up my second summer class this past Thursday. So now I ama going to be relaxing till Sept. comes along.
Also I am going to be having a special visitor next month. I am excited but also a bit nervous.
Hope Isaac gets better too. Send my regards to the little tike. And a hello to Alan.
I'm glad he takes great care of you. I only hope that some day soon I will have someone who is as caring and loving as Alan. Not to mention supportive.
Chat soon I hope.
I had a feeling you were having a rough time of it. I will be praying for you to get over this infection real soon. I know how awful chest infections, coughing, and all. It really bites, and I know it is harder on you with your system being low. I pray you feel well again real soon. I have been praying for you anyways, but will double my prayers for your health and your family. Take care and get your rest.
Your friend always,
Judy
He knows and bears your pain. Praying!!!!!!!!!!
Hebrews 4:15-16 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Continuing to pray so very hard!
Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Know that I'm still here praying!
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.
Hi Charisse, I have not talked with you in awhile, thought I check on you often. I am sorry that you have not been feeling well lately. I know it takes a while to get over a cold, espeially with FA. Katie has the same trouble getting over colds. I wanted to let you know that you and your family are always in my prayers. Keep smiling. I will talk to you soon. Are you going to camp in August? We are unable, we are going to try for next year in 2008. Love, Sandra and Katie.
Had you on my mind this morning.......stopping by to say I love you all and am praying!
Blessings and Bear Hugs,
God is our strength! Praying as always!
Psalms 73:25-26 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
Hey Charisse,
I'm hoping your reactions this time are better than they've been recently. That is not nice at all. I'm glad Isaac's croup is getting better. That barking seal cough is one that will just break your heart!
Tell everyone I said hello.
Bye for now,
John
How amazing to know that the Lord is holding our hand! Praying right now!
Psalms 73:23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.
Sorry I missed last night. Went to the Mariner/Angel baseball game last night and it went into extra innings. By the time I got home I just had to get to bed.
What a blessing to know that the Lord is there to lift up our head! What a beautiful picture! Know that I'm praying!
Psalms 3:2-3 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah. But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
Continuing to pray so very hard!
Psalms 3:4-5 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah. I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
Been saying extra prayers for sleep!
What a blessing it is to be able to pray for you!
Psalms 4:1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
Know that I'm still praying!
Psalms 4:3-4 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him. Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah.
Ugh, sounds like you guys were definitely feeling horrible!! I hope you are able to feel better soon if you aren't already. Off I go to read your next entry;-)
Love,
Teresa
