Update by Kathryn

Senior Hello all, this is Kathryn writing this update instead of mom. I’m needing to say a big thank you to each one of you!

Last week my mom and I traveled down to North Carolina for a Ketamine booster. The treatment went very smoothly with little discomfort. Because of this treatment my function has increased slightly and I am feeling well enough to complete most of my daily tasks. This means I’m turning most of my attention to preparation for applying to college and my senior year of high school! Thank you all so very much for your continued support and prayers. You all have been so encouraging and dedicated, and my family and I appreciate it more than can be said.

KETAMINE TREATMENT TODAY- REQUESTING PRAYER!

Describe your pain 😦

If you must endure a Ketamine treatment DO NOT forget your blanket and pillow from home!

Hi Guys, we are back at Carolina’s pain Institute with Dr. North for a Ketamine Booster. Kathryn’s pain was averaging around a 5 but in the last week it shoots up to a 9 at times. 

We would have done this treatment even if her pain were still holding at a 5 but due to the pain increase, it became more critical.

Joe or Dave could not come with us to help this time so we’ll see how this goes. Kathryn did some of the driving on the way here; obviously she can’t help with driving on the way home 🙂 

PRAYER REQUEST: I am concerned about the ride home. Kathryn is so heavily sedated after Ketamine that if I have to stop on the way home I am apprehensive for her safety as I leave her in the car. So please pray for her today! Love and thanks to all!

Holding you all in prayer as we trust The One who cares for us with immeasurable love.
