Facebook Status

 This quote was from the status of a few of my friends on Facebook... thought it was appropriate for a blog post. 

"BUT YOU DON'T LOOK SICK!" Maybe not, but it's a daily struggle feeling sick on the inside while you look fine on the outside. Put this as your status for at least 1 hour if you or someone you know has any invisible illness (such as ataxia, AIH, MS, hypothyroid, adrenal insufficiency, anxiety, depression, diabetes, lupus, fibromyalgia, chrohns, arthritis, cancer, chronic headache, HAE, etc.). Never judge what you don't understand.

I Am Strong

This is a great YouTube Video... it was shot at St Jude's Children's Research Hospital. Kind of helps you see things from a different point of view...

Also, this is a great one by George Strait. He never gets old. ;]

Here For A Good Time

10 > 15

It's been one month since I was able to reduce the amount of Prednisone from 20mg to 15mg. This past Friday I was able to reduce it again from 15mg to 10mg! I'm really hoping that this time goes better than last! I have been having a few headaches but not as bad as before. As long as things go well on my blood tests next month, I will be on this same dosage amount until next June. Once June 2012 comes around, the doctor said he will try taking me off of the medications completely. This would be AWESOME! For now though, I'm just focusing on next month and making sure that I drink plenty of water and continue to eat healthy foods.

On a different note... we are re-doing our bathroom this weekend. Currently the old tub is completely gone and we are ripping up the floor so we can put a new floor and tile down. Already have taken a couple of trips to Lowe's and Home Depot. Hoping we can get a majority of it done today so our weekend project doesn't turn into a week long or two weekend project. Ha. Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Penguins!

This is a video of the penguins from Tanganyika Wildlife Park. We went with Andrea and Brian when they came in from Indiana to visit us! It was definitely a fun weekend! Just wanted to jump in that water with them though because it was super hot!
