I'm at it again...home I.V.'s. If you're curious about what that entails, go back and read this post. I have not been feeling 100% for several weeks and I just couldn't kick this persistent bug despite all the things I was doing to fight it so I finally relented and called my doc. We compromised and I was able to avoid the E.R. and being admitted which was such a HUGE blessing! Instead I got a PICC line placed and started my treatment at home.
It makes such a difference to be at home with my boys. Harrison, as always, is my best medicine and Ryan takes such good care of me! He should have been a male nurse like Focker : ) Sleeping in my own bed and not being woken up at all hours of the night to check "vitals" is also a major plus of home I.V.s!!
I started the meds on Thursday and yesterday was my "turning point." You know that day where you just feel like you are finally on the track to getting back?! Yesterday was that day and I am feeling even stronger today. Despite this setback, I feel so blessed that even though I did have to start I.V.s, this time around was much more mild than some of the setbacks in the past and considering the fact that this is a degenerative disease...that is a very good thing! If my infections can get fewer and far between and become increasingly easier to bounce back from, that is a miracle in and of itself and is so encouraging!
Thank you all so much for your prayers and concern for me. It is amazing how healing it is to know how much positive energy is being sent my way!
