Thanks for checking in…!!!

Irene’s symptoms are already diminishing. Her headache is gone and muscle/back/leg pain is significantly less painful. It appears the the meds are taking hold…!!! She was even able to enjoy lunch with Victoria McCharen today…a huge breakthrough given the way she’s been feeling over the last week.

We’re still believing God for a full restoration…and healing of her body.

Thanks for caring,
Dave

Thanks for checking in.

Irene called me this afternoon because dialysis was cut short again. The technical team would not let Irene drive herself home because of underlying symptoms being aggravated so I picked her up (fortunate to be working out of the home office today) and took her to the Urgent Care unit @ Dominican Hospital per the dialysis team’s instructions.

After 7 days of a 24/7 horrific headache, even increased nausea symptoms, back and leg pain, Irene was diagnosed with an infection that is now being treated with antibiotics. IT will hopefully clear in the next 7-10 days.

She had a C scan today (because of the onset of the headache) just to make sure the brain function is normal and that something else wasn’t going on. The report said that her brain function is normal but Irene wants it redone because she doesn’t believe it!

Another day on the surreal journey.

Thanks for caring,
Dave

Irene was treated this afternoon by Dr. Buford McCharen of Aptos Core Care.

“Buf” and his wife, Victoria, have become friends. They’ve been very encouraging to us; anyone living in the Monterey Bay region would benefit from the Aptos Core Care treatment protocol.

Here’s a quick YouTube reel about their practice:
