Now, why is this letter so late? Well, I have wrestled with Muscular Dystrophy and Diabetes for years and this past few months I was feeling especially poorly. Thinking, “Well the dystrophy must be flaring up or getting worse”, I put off going to the doctor, but things came to a head around December 12th when I could not walk without extreme pain. I knew something was seriously wrong and began seeking treatment. After blood tests, and IV’s at the day clinic, it was evident I actually had sepsis. I was admitted to the hospital in late December for IV antibiotics, and 16 days later, I was released yesterday. Praise the Lord the infection has been defeated.

   In addition, while in the hospital, I had consults with neurologists and endocrinologists and got updated medications to treat both MD and Diabetes, and my MD is already showing signs of improvement. Plus, my thyroid dosage was said to be too low and should be increased soon. So, I am now looking forward to a much better quality of life than I could have hoped for just a month ago. Powerful new medications come with side effects, so please pray as I acclimate to the new meds.
