Home Again

Yesterday afternoon we came home from San Francisco. Angela's liver enzymes started trending down, though they haven't gone far and she's still very yellow. The doctors are pretty sure what she has was caused by some drug given to her in conjunction with her recent illness, most likely an antibiotic, but they say that since she had so many different medications, we may never know which it was.

For now, she needs blood tests twice a week for a while. After they really start to get better, the frequency can be reduced. They were hopeful that her jaundice could be mostly gone within a couple of weeks.

We are so thankful to everyone for their prayers and encouragement. It's great to be back home. Now we need to get the insulin tweaked so her blood sugars are better controlled and keep her exercising to get stronger. God continues to keep us in His care, and is there a better place to be?

Angela I am so sorry You are having such a tough time. I haven't forgotten you, and I'm still praying for you. I flew back to Michigan to be at our granddaughter's graduation from High School. It was so good to see our son and his family again. Angela, hang in there girl. You are a very special person and God loves you. Take care O.K.

Love,
Monica
