Christmas

Written by Katie. Posted in Favorites, Memorable Experiences

 

Two years ago Allie almost died on Christmas night and my Dad had Prostate cancer. You can read Allie’s story here.  Christmas has meant so much more to me ever since.  It probably sounds cliche’ but between Christmas two years ago and this Christmas I finally get it. Like really, really get it. Christmas means Family.  Friends.  Forgiveness. Giving.  Love. Hope. Faith.

Five For Friday 12/24/10

I’m going to keep this one short and sweet with longer Christmas posts to come!

1.  I’m cheating and putting the medical posts into one:  Went to Fort Wayne and had facet injections into C6/C7 in my neck. Started physical therapy again.  My first session was focused on the soft tissue in my neck and back (aka a massage).  The plan for physical therapy is toning work with soft tissue work.  Made an appointment with my OB-GYN to talk about starting a new birth control to hopefully help the EDS by making me less stretchy during my time of the month.

1.  Jill, Audrey, Jameson, and Cami came to visit on Monday.  It was awesome to just hang out with the girls!  Jameson and I made chocolate chip muffins, and of course we had to taste test them! I think Jameson approved of our baking. What do you think?

POTS in the News

Written by Katie. Posted in POTS Awareness

Thanks Uncle Steve for letting me know about this article.  It is crazy that since I have been diagnosed, I have actually read two articles in the news about girls with POTS.  This is encouraging to me because hopefully the more POTS is out there in the media, the more (hopefully) will be learned about POTS, and therefore researched about this little known disorder.
