Kathy/and all--brief update

December 18, 2003

Kathy,

I know you will enjoy your new 'puter. Glad you were able to

get one. Were you all able to get your tree yesterday? I love

hearing about your decorating, etc. I am more excited than I have

been in a long time. Sara has done such a good job doing our house

this year. I think it has been really therapeutic for her. Hope

you continue to improve. Mark has been going to school for half

days this week--he wipes out so quickly. I am almost having to beat

him over the head to keep up his fluid intake. He complains of

being dizzy and I know that not drinking enough has a lot to do with

it.

We went to his first band concert of the season last night. We

were even able to get Sara to go--it was only an hour. But she

*itched at me all the way to school this morning that it took away

from her study time--Oh well, I can't win for losing, lol.

I went to the immunologist/allergist yesterday and he put me on

another week of AugmentinXR--4000mg a day. My chest is really tight

so I am using my Advair religiously. My O2 sats were at 95% which

for me isn't bad. I sound worse than I feel but tire easily--am

hoping for a nap this afternoon. Dr. Minor also gave me some

phenergan with codiene syrup to take at night.

Well, I am finishing some packages to get in the mail. Sara is

going to take them in for me and stand in line and then I will sneak

in and pay for them and be out of the Post Office. I really

appreciate her co-operative spirit in this area. I know we are

going to be OK with her--just a long road with several forks in it.

We are going to have a london broil for Christmas. Most of my

groceries are bought except for last minute milk, eggs, etc.

Take care and pace yourself. Would love pictures when you can.

Hugs and love,

Melinda
