My dear friend Chris who has two lovely daughters of adult age just informed me(actually his spouse Brigid) just informed me that his daughter Nora is very sick on life support and dialysis with acute pancreatic and high fevers. Unknown cause. Please hold her and her loved ones in your prayers and heart. Her cousin recently died as well and they lived together in DC area? I am speechless.
As for my health I am feeling quite blessed in this moment. Tired and fatigued beyond belief but pain level dropped, inflammation mostly gone and flare seems to be leaving as my labs looked good. I can begin reducing meds now. Kidneys are doing great and that is wonderful. I just got too much sun and resting is all I can do to feel better. Which is good because the fall Lupus education program I am co-teaching at the UM Hospital starts Thursday.
Doug is well. Garden full. I am making Christmas present from the harvest. No more buying gifts.
Nora, hang in there darling you are a strong and powerful woman with an incredible heart and soul. We need you here! Your family needs you.
