Hello People,
a quick medical update. This will be short because I cannot handle looking at the computer.
I had IVIG infusion this last Friday. It was a long day. They had forgotten to order my stuff so we waited a little while. However, the actual infusion went well. Last week I felt like I was coming down with a cold. At times it felt like an ordinary cold with some headaches and I felt a bit flat but was generally still able to function. Because IVIG is immunity and the reaction is flu type symptoms, overnight my cold became fluey and I feel awful. Now I can't tell if my cold got real bad because I am waking every morning coughing, nose running and blocked, headaches and stiff necks and all sorts......my whole body aches. Although some of these symptoms can be IVIG alone. I feel like I have a double dose! I feel pretty bad to be truthful. I am having trouble getting myself in the shower and so on because I am also nauseated. SO please pray that this passes quickly....this cold and stuff....my platelets did a drop and who knows if that is related to the cold......doesn't usually happen with a simple cold but ...hmmm
I have an appointment with my gynae today just for a check up.
Oh I have been brave. I am seeing a surgeon about a port on the 2nd December and having it in on the 8th. I will be having it in my abdomen and it is under the skin. When I feel up to it, I will explain more :-)
Love Charisse

Best of luck, Charisse. It seems kind of obvious to say that I hope you are feeling better very soon but, I hope you are feeling better very soon! I'm sorry your feeling so bad.
I'm sorry you're feeling under the weather. We'll keep our fingers crossed that you'll bounce back quickly and be feeling well soon.
Hey There! Praying the flu like symptoms go away! Hang in there and congratulations on how brave you are with getting the port! You go girl!!!
Blessing and Bear Hugs,
Dearest Friend, I am sorry you feel so yucky, and I will be praying for it to pass quickly. I am proud of you for making the decision to get a port. It should make it easier when you need any IV treatments. John never had one, but I saw some kids with them when he was in treatment, and it seemed so much easier for them, and less chance of infection than from a central line or Picc line. I pray it all goes well, and helps you a lot. Take care my friend, and know I am thinking of you always.
Hi Rissy

Hope you feel better soon! My internet's been out and that really throws me off.
Here praying hard!
Isaiah 43:1-3a But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour...

We're praying for you, Charisse.
Know that I'm praying!
John 14:1-3 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Stopping by to let you know that you're in my thoughts and prayers!
Job 19:25-27 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God: Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

Still here praying!
Colossians 3:15-17 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

Hi Charisse,
I hope you're feeling better now.
I just learned about a fun website about doing crafts with your kids and it's done by an Aussie! So of course I thought of you, being an Aussie, a mom, and (along with Alan!!) so very crafty.
Here's a link:

Continuing to lift up prayers!
Psalms 34:17-19 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
