Happy Birthday Kathryn!

on May 9, 2012

Happy 15th Birthday to you Missy!!

We love you so much!!!

Kathryn’s pain continues to be more controlled than before Ketamine treatment.  We see higher and happier function… she is going to school all day and enjoying her teachers and  friends.  She went to the prom and danced and had a very fun night.  She appreciates the improvement with so much joy!  We are so thankful!!!

We had a huge jolt this week that required yet more time and doc visits- so please forgive the delay in updating this site.  We discovered that when Kathryn was diagnosed with a serious allergy to her pain medicine, the diagnosis was incorrect!!!  She has suffered with terrible itching and hives (and the elevation of CRPS pain that results) for 8 months NEEDLESSLY.   The good news is that the miserable hives and itching are very treatable and we should have this particular misery under control within the month- YEAH!! 

Kathryn is receiving some very special birthday gifts this year- gifts that can’t be wrapped in shiny paper- BUT INSTEAD ARE WRAPPED IN YOUR PRAYERS- THANK YOU TO ALL!!! 

 Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You shall see greater things than that.”  He then added, “I tell you the truth, you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man.”  John 1:50-51
