Arrived

We have landed and found dinner and the hotel.  The Bellamy Brothers tour bus was outside in the morning. Here's a few photos of yesterday through 9 am.

Biopterin Pathway

I realized it has been a while since I've blogged.  Got caught up in the lack of schedule over the last month.  Things are fully back to normal for us Friday, as we go back to our homeschool co-op.  It is a God-sent for us, as it gives the kids a different offering of classes from what we do at home, and it also gives them a social outlet too.  For me, it has given me a change to get back to teaching, as I teach Algebra 1, 2 and Chemistry. So, what have we been up to?  John and I were off to the western coast of Florida for the last 10 days.  We were hoping to reboot him a bit in his healing.  I've come to the realization that the more time he spends in the sunshine, the better.  We discovered kayaking through mangrove tunnels - what a blast that is.  There used to be a freshwater lake off the coast of Lido Key.  Residents there had realized that this lake was a breeding ground for mosquitoes.  The Army Corps of Engineers came in ...

Letting go, dumbest thing ever, and more

It's been a while since I have blogged.  As much as things have changed, much has remained the same.  John is continuing to have very hard days.  He's very tired and has roving joint pain still.  We ran blood work and found low vitamin D again and low iron.  His thyroid looks good, so it's just the nutrient deficiencies and the Lyme issues.  The constant fatigue is tough to deal with, so he decided to  take a hockey break. He handled it better than I did, as I cried on and off for days.  It wasn't that he isn't playing hockey... it's the fact that he even had to choose to give up something he loves. We read in our local Lyme support group on Facebook that someone had cancelled an appointment with our doctor, so I tried to take the appointment 11 minutes after I saw the cancellation.  Nope.  Taken.  That quickly.  But, there was another slot, Tuesday at 9.  It took me 2 hrs 10 min to get to the clinic during rush hour. ...

What Not to Say..

I've been thinking about the life we are living, and there are a few things that impact daily lives beyond what you might imagine.  Chronic illness and constant stress from it is hard to live with, but it is also hard to watch.  Sometimes people who believe they are helpful wish to contribute unsolicited opinions.  The devil's advocate in me believes they probably mean well, but the mama bear in me sometimes goes on the offensive. A little preface here.  My husband is a genius.  Literally.  And while I'm not a genius, I am very well educated.  I'm also fairly OCD.  I pour over major life decisions.  I research thoroughly.  I talk to my circle of health-oriented friends.  My husband and I discuss our parenting decisions together and we often include our sons in many of these discussions.  While we ask their input, we are in charge of raising them and our viewpoint weighs more.  Luckily, though, they typically agree with w...
